Meanwhile, Back on Palawan…

July 10, 2025

…God is still working! We wanted to update you on what God continues to do among the Palawano people where we worked for 30 years. The New Testament is Being Studied About a week ago, the believers in our former village organized a conference to study the book of Galatians for four days using the […]

Joint Projects

March 27, 2024

Here’s a quick update to mention some “joint projects” we’re involved with in our ministry. Joint Project #1: Reaching the World Seeing the Unreached People Groups of the world reached for Christ will require a lot of effective missionaries being sent out.

God at Work Among the Nations

December 28, 2022

We trust you had a special Christmas! Here’s a quick update on our lives and ministry… 50 Years We must be getting old.

God Works Long Distance

October 11, 2021

Africa (w/out the Trip) If you’ve been following our recent saga, you know we weren’t able to actually go to Africa as planned. So we can’t call this an Africa Ministry Trip.

When God has Different Plans

Airborne with Airborne

February 9, 2018

Our recent ministry trip to the Asia Pacific region was a great success. And we did not experience any missed flights or delays like we did going to Mexico in November. Now, our travel companions as we were locked inside a metal tube hurtling through the stratosphere… that’s another story. It is flu season–and […]

Oh, 9,000, Give or Take…

January 5, 2018

More numbers… This time the number is the approximate number of miles from San Diego to our destination in the Asia Pacific region. 9,000 miles–that’s a long trip. We leave tomorrow afternoon, Friday January 5th. We should reach our destination country after 9,000 miles and (Lord willing) 28 hours of flying, terminal hopping, and carry-on […]
