Living in a Glass Bowl

February 2, 2017

Have you ever felt like a goldfish? Have you ever had the feeling that someone was watching you? Our son Luke has a fish jar by his desk. He only has one fish and he enjoys watching it swim around. No matter where the fish goes, he can’t hide from Luke’s sight. Do you […]

A Nasty Burn, An Infected Balloon Hand, And A Sudden Death

January 12, 2017

When Jesus was on this earth 2000 years ago, many people came to Him and brought those who were sick. Not only did Jesus heal them, but he also raised the dead back to life. This was not why He came, but through these miracles many did believe in Him. Likewise, we didn’t come to […]

A New Twist on an Old Tradition

December 21, 2016

In December 2003, our first Christmas in this village, a group of carolers stopped by our house one night. In a way, it was fun. They sang familiar carols, but the words were in their mother tongue. After they sang several carols, we thanked them by giving them some of Ginger’s homemade Christmas cookies and […]

Almost

December 5, 2016

After years of praying, months of meetings, and believers around the world giving, we almost have land in the village for the new home of Faith Bible Church. Last month, the believers in the village selected a piece of land and approached the “owners” to see if they would like to sell. Within hours, the […]

Thanksgiving Update

November 22, 2016

Thanksgiving Day will mark exactly four months since I, Ginger, fell down the stairs and injured my elbow, so I have many more basic things I am thankful for this year. I am thankful for a family who each joined in to do the work that I was not able to do, from making meals […]

Not Judged

November 8, 2016

Starting in July, I, Ginger, have had the privilege of working alongside the ladies with the Kids’ Bible Club. We meet every Friday afternoon to talk about the lesson for the week, and to explain any crafts they may be making with the kids. At first, we had Bible story lessons that were already written […]

New Faces New View

September 10, 2016

Written by Rebekah: As missionary kids, it is always fun to have relatives or friends come over to the Philippines for a visit. Just last month, my Grandma Sue and Aunt Marcia came over for a two-week visit. This wasn’t my grandmother’s first visit but it was my aunt’s first visit. Aunt Marcia saw everything […]

One of the Sweetest Prayers I’ve Ever Heard . . .

August 12, 2016

. . . and I didn’t even hear much of it. For the last several weeks, one of my daily routines is to go visit Tay Hesus. As you know, he has stage 4 cancer and his body is losing the battle. Over the last few weeks, he has grown weaker and weaker. Because of […]

What Would The Door Say?

August 2, 2016

“Ouch!” Yesterday, we traveled three hours back to the village, unpacked, and prepared for another week of school and work. This morning, as Stephen was outside, he noticed that something wasn’t quite right with the outside door. Upon closer examination, he noticed that a board was out of place. Our doors have large spaces at […]
