Not all the questions people have been asking are about the ministry.  As we have traveled throughout the States, many have commented on how beautiful and loooooong Abigail’s hair was.  In fact, her last hair cut was over 5 years ago.  Several people suggested that Ginger and Abigail cut their hair and donate it to […]

While we are in the States, we are excited that our partner, Manfred, continues to proclaim the Word of God.  He and his wife Nadine share that up to 150 Agutaynens still attend the Bible teaching every Wednesday evening.  Please continue to pray for strength and wisdom as Manfred continues to prepare lessons.  Pray for […]

Several people have asked us this week if Typhoon Megi caused any damage to our home in the Philippines.  The short answer is “no”.   Every year, 25-30 typhoons will go through the Philippines.  Usually these typhoons will hit the Visayas or Luzon.  In other words, typhoons hit central to northern Philippines, not our island directly.  […]

Every week we find ourselves sharing in a new church.  However, the questions people are asking about our family and about the Agutaynens are usually the same questions that other churches have asked before.  So, we have decided to post these questions on our blog, along with our answers.  Every week, we will try to […]

We are enjoying this year of Home Assignment.  While sharing with churches and supporters is why we are here, we also enjoy the opportunities that only come in the States.  For example, last weekend we, Stephen and Ginger, had the opportunity to attend a Couples Getaway.  This was a wonderful time for us to seek […]

We praise the Lord for this year of Home Assignment and for the doors He is opening for us to share.  In the last few days, God has opened the door for us to share in twelve more churches.  Please pray with us that, wherever we go, we always give God the glory.  Our hearts’ desire […]

We thank the Lord for the wonderful time we are having in the States.  It has been a joy to see old friends, visit family members, and fellowship with our churches from Coast to Coast.   Last week we had the privilege of being in New York with our Church family, West Somerset Baptist Church.  […]

Packing for a missionary is more than just throwing some stuff in boxes and leaving it in a closet.  Let us give you a glimpse of what our last month in the village looked like: First, we began by sorting.  We needed to figure out what we needed to pack away, what we could give […]

The votes have been tallied and the winner is . . . Prayer Card A by a landslide.  Because of some very helpful suggestions, we have modified Card A slightly by making our family picture bigger.  We hope you still like it.  Thank you for your help.

On Aptirl 1st, we awoke to load the truck and say “good-bye” to our Agutaynen friends.  As soon as the sun appeared over the coconut trees, so also appeared our first visitor to our gate.  For three hours, the Lord encouraged our hearts by the many Agutaynens who came to say “good-bye”.  Many tears were shed, […]
