This is a quick post to share our updated prayer card. If you want to print it as a photo, it should print as a 4×6 print quite easily. We’d be happy to mail you one as well, just drop us a line!
Soup’s On … Once a month, during the semester, all staff and intern ladies who “can” come together for lunch – with soup and bread always on the menu! We take this opportunity as a way to connect, catch-up, and care for this community of co-workers. The time together is short due to schedules and […]
Join us in praising the Lord. We are thrilled to share the latest news from our Higaunon brothers and sisters in Christ. Just last week, we received a message from one of the outreach villages reporting that 26 new believers were baptized! While we usually see pictures of baptisms in rivers, this time the baptism […]
Once a year, in the fall, the staff ladies at the BI go on a retreat. It is only for one day and one night, and the location is usually not more than 1-2 hours away from the school. This year, I was blessed to share that time with a good friend and former co-worker […]
“Toto, I have a feeling we are not in Kansas anymore.” When we last wrote to you (in July!) we were sharing about Paul’s quick trip to Kansas for his (step) Dad’s funeral and a few weeks visit with his mom, Lavon Blackburn. She has been in ailing health these last years and we just […]
Thank you all for your prayers for us. Walter’s doctor has been pleased with the healing of his eye and has lifted all restrictions on his health. But he does not know if Walter’s vision will be as clear. When the retina detaches, some of the cells can die. If a large percentage of them […]
What did ministry look like to us a few weeks ago? Being at the BI is not just about our office responsibilities or academics; it’s about community too! Staff, Interns, and students all take the opportunity to interact with each other and have a little bit of fun at times! Recently, our three families – […]
Here is an update on Walt’s eye surgery. His surgery was at 6:30 am September 7 and it went well but I didn’t get to talk with the doctor then. We had to go back for a post op check, today, September 8. We saw the doctor who assisted in the surgery. He explained a […]
I have been concerned about my vision for a while so I finally went to my retina specialist. (I had a detached retina several years ago.) He immediately ordered two tests which confirmed that I have a detached retina in my other eye. I will have surgery this Saturday (Friday evening in the US). While […]
Our move-in days, registration, orientation, and yes … even the first day of classes … are now in the past. As I think back on it all … I am amazed at how many people were “hands on” and “involved” in these events. In fact, all staff, student leaders, and interns had a part! As […]
