The clock just turned 9:38pm when the phone rang.  The voice on the other end of the line asked, “Were you serious?” A week before, we had asked to be notified when a resident is taken to the hospital via ambulance, no matter the time of the day or night.  So, without hesitation Stephen said, […]

Since our arrival to The Homes of Ethnos360 three weeks ago, there have been four memorial services for four former residents of The Homes.  That will be four memorial services in four weeks.  Four lives who served the Lord, telling others about Jesus, both near and far.  This past week, we met with the family […]

This last week, we found ourselves going to thrift stores, antique stores, and then going back and doing it again.  We have purchased credenzas, end tables, and desks.  Our house now looks more like a home, with a place for nearly everything. One of the end tables we found, we loaded into our car upside […]

We made it to Florida!  After 50 hours, 1200+ miles, and 2 Buc-ee’s; we made it to The Homes of Ethnos360! We quickly unloaded and unpacked what we could.  Ginger found her January snowmen, put them out, and hung our welcome sign.    We have already met many of the residents, our co-workers, and volunteers.  […]

This past weekend, the checkered flag came out as we crossed the finish line.  We weren’t racing in a Formula One car, nor did we win a trophy.  But we finished our circuit tour of 24 churches in the Midwest.  In a way, you can say our fans from Homestead Community Church were there to […]

What is the news from the Philippines? Recently, the leaders of the church in the Philippines decided to move the location of the Wednesday Evening Bible Study, W.E.B.S.  Instead of meeting at the church, they are now meeting each Wednesday at a different home of a believer.  This rotation is taking them into the homes […]

What can you do with umbrellas, butterflies, seashells, and wrenches?  With Legos, you can make a bouquet of flowers.  Look at these flowers made of Legos: You probably found the butterflies.  Did you find the umbrellas?  What about the seashells and wrenches? Umbrellas, seashells, and butterflies for flower petals; and wrenches for pollen of the […]
