The believers of Faith Bible Church in the Philippines just celebrated their sixth anniversary!  (This is an anniversary of the church building being built.)  They celebrated with singing, preaching, and eating.  They celebrated with one another.  They celebrated with guests and special speakers from two other churches.  And they celebrated without us, thus this was […]

Knock, knock. Who’s there? Police. Police who? Police stop telling these awful knock-knock jokes. If you say that was a bad joke, then we need your help.  We are looking for some good jokes.  What is your best joke?  If you have a good book of jokes or know where we can find some good, […]

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?

One of Ginger’s favorite colors is “fall.”  Her favorite color isn’t one color, but all the colors of fall together: red, orange, green, and yellow.  Along with the colors, we are enjoying the fall treats: glazed pumpkin donuts and pumpkin pancakes with cream cheese filling.  And guess what is on our fireplace mantle? Well, with […]

Last month, we had the joy of being the “missionaries” at Jamestown Baptist Church’s Vacation Bible School, Mystery Island.  During the week, the kids were tracking down the one true God. Every day we shared about the ministry in the Philippines, shared the Gospel message, and encouraged the kids (over 300) daily to go and […]

Today is the twenty-fifth anniversary of our move to the Philippines.  By God’s provision, we went to the Philippines.  By God’s guidance, we went to the Agutaynens.  By God’s protection, we survived sickness.  By God’s strength, we learned the Agutaynen language.  By God’s grace, Agutaynens were saved by faith in Jesus. Ten years ago, our […]

We started out in the den of the Detroit Lions, passed by the Cleveland Browns, and ended up in the fields of the Buffalo Bills.  As we journeyed, we passed corn fields, grape vineyards, and apple orchards.  We saw the seagulls on Lake Erie, felt the mist of Niagara Falls, and traveled along Lake Ontario.  […]
