Do you remember that song . . . “10 & 9, 8 & 7 . . . the countdown’s getting lower every day”?  Well, another countdown began recently, the countdown until our departure from the States and return to the Philippines.  This countdown is on “3,” that is three days until our departure! As you […]

Here in the States, we have spring showers, flowers blooming, and trees are budding.  However, back in the Philippines, it is very, very dry in the village where we work.  We have heard that the wells are running dry, and the rice fields are barren. Today, there is only an 8% chance of rain in […]

It is with grateful hearts that we share with you that my mom, Sue Watters, went to be with Jesus yesterday.  I, Ginger, am so thankful that we returned to the States when we did.  When we first got back, Mom was doing pretty well, and we were able to spend some time together.  Her […]

Today, we celebrated with the believers the 4th Anniversary of Faith Bible Church.  Sadly, in our absence this last summer, we heard that there was some discord among the believers.  So, from the time of our return, we have desired to see reconciliation and unity among the believers.  Today was a step in that direction.

After months of planning, days of packing 170 gifts, and a night of little sleep for many of the believers who prepared a snack for all, we at Faith Bible Church hosted a Christmas program for the local elementary school. Like most Christmas programs, games were played, Christmas songs were sung, and gifts were given.  […]

Do you remember those days gone by when you received a report card from school?  Were you an all “A” student?  And what classes did you do best in?  Algebra?  Chemistry?  PE?  Recently, Stephen was working with a couple of believers and trying to figure out the best illustration for his upcoming sermon.  And then […]
