Nine days ago, our family arrived to Palawan.  We have been busy purchasing household supplies which are to last for the next three months in the village.  Not even a grain of salt was in our house.  So, we have been purchasing everything from A to Z, literally.  “A” for AA Batteries, All Spice, All-Purpose […]

After our adventure of a delayed flight in Grand Rapids, a surprise drive to Detroit, and a canceled flight in San Francisco, we are back in the Philippines.  We don’t know why God closed doors in our adventure, but we know that we were in His hands. We are now back in the land of […]

In less than 72 hours, we will be on an airplane way up in the sky. We have had a wonderful time in the States, full of memories, full of good times, full of meetings, and full of fun.  The boys have enjoyed youth group, playing their guitars, and so much.  It will be hard […]

“What will you be doing when Jesus returns?”  Have you ever been asked that question?  You probably also have heard a question like this, “What will be the last thing you do before you die?” As many of you know, last week on December 28, many believers were at the church handing out typhoon relief […]

Relief efforts, headquartered at Faith Bible Church, have begun in the village in the Philippines.  Within the last few days, supplies like rice, ramen noodle soup, canned goods, matches, powdered milk, and more have been purchased, delivered to the village, and repackaged by the believers for 400 families.  Within the last 24 hours, these supplies […]
