Prior to 2020, millions of Filipinos would travel back to their hometowns at the end of October, and they would gather at the local cemeteries.  In hand would be candles, matches, and food.  At the cemeteries, they would sit on the graves of their deceased relatives, light the candles, and have a picnic.  At least […]

Memories.  This last week was full of new and old memories.  Yesterday was the internment of a special friend and supporter, Paul Pell.  His wife asked us to attend the internment with the family and asked Stephen to share from God’s Word.  This was a privilege and a special time to hear the memories of […]

Another month of our Home Assignment has come and gone.  In the dust of the last few weeks, we have . . . . . . shared in three more churches, . . . visited two colleges for Luke to consider, . . . attended a wedding in Tennessee, . . . visited The Ark […]

Our hearts are rejoicing to hear news from the Philippines!  Two weeks ago, a new evangelistic outreach started . . . in Riverside, a neighborhood in the village. This is exciting news for many reasons.  For one, this might be the result of Kids’ Bible Club in the home last year, and secondly, Riverside is […]

You may have noticed that you haven’t heard from us for a while.  That’s because we usually only share with you about what is happening with the ministry.  This summer, we have chosen to unplug from ministry and take time to plug in to our home church and soak in some great Bible teaching.  We […]

Quarantine wasn’t all fun and games, but Ginger did her best to make sure we had plenty of games to keep us from . . . who knows what.  We played games like Mexican Train, Survivor, Encore, Mad Gab, and Guesstures.  The boys snuck outside to throw their new Vortex Nerf footballs.  And everyone, except […]

Where oh where to begin?  We could begin at the end and just tell you:  “We are back in Michigan!”  But then you might not read on.  So, just forget the end of the story and let’s go back three weeks to the beginning when we first asked you to “walk by faith” with us […]

With one last surge before packing our bags for the States, this past week we hosted Youth Bible Camp in the village with the help of several believers.  This was an evangelistic outreach that reached 85 teens and young single adults.  The theme was “The Greatest Man.”  In six nights, we studied the Word of […]

“For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you abstain from sexual immorality; For God has not called us for impurity, but in holiness.”  1 Thessalonians 4:3, 7 As we see several young ladies grow in Christ here in the village, we desire for them to know God’s will for their lives, especially in […]

Throughout the years, we have been invited to numerous weddings here in the village.  But none of them were as special as the one Stephen attended last week.  What made this wedding so special?  This is the first wedding here with two believers, both members of our church.  Please rejoice with us as Joey and […]
