March 6, 2013 will mark the one-year anniversary of Stephen officially reaching the level needed in the Agutaynen language to teach God’s Word.  We are still praising God for the endurance and strength He gave Stephen to cross that finish line.  One year later, for God’s glory, Stephen is currently leading three Home Bible Studies […]

A few weeks ago, we sent out an email detailing the physical health concern of our daughter Abigail who has scoliosis of her spine.  As a result, we have been in touch with doctors in the States, Germany, and here in the Philippines.  Every doctor has given us the same advice: Abigail needs a back […]

After much planning and preparing, we made it through a week of being “in charge” of childcare for the babies and toddlers.  Another mom agreed to be in with the babies every day, so that allowed Ginger to dedicate her time to the toddlers.  We had a great group, and a lot of wonderful help!  […]

The sky is gray, adding a gloomy look outside.  The wind is very strong.  The tops of the trees sway back and forth with the wind.  Now and then coconut branches are broken off the trees.  The wind reminds me of the crashes of waves on the beach during the storm.  God has kept the […]

  Every Christmas, God blesses us and you encourage us with many Christmas cards.  This past year, Ginger saved all these Christmas cards and put them on our kitchen counter.  Each day this year, we would take a card out and we as a family prayed for the one who sent us that card.  So, […]

Just about every year one of our churches, Bethel Baptist Church, in the Detroit area sends us their leftover VBS supplies. These supplies have been used each year for our team of 6 kids. We can’t communicate how important and how special this is for our kids. This last year, Ginger shared with Bethel Baptist […]

On October 21, sixteen men and women from our village were baptized!  It was a day of rejoicing as these believers courageously stood and proclaimed to everyone that they are followers of Christ, that they have placed their trust in Christ alone for their salvation.  What a glorious day!  Please pray for these believers to […]

Praise the Lord!  We can stay!  The news arrived in a short email this morning from our office:  “You were granted a two-year extension.”  Simple words, yet they were God’s answer to the prayer that has been on our hearts and yours for many months.  Thank you for your prayer! During these months, we have […]

For her first quarter of Physical Education class this year, Rebekah chose to run.  When we found out that there was a race scheduled during the time we planned to be in town for purchasing our supplies, a new goal to train for was discovered.  So, every school day for the last nine weeks, as […]
