What God Did

February 8, 2023

Here are Donna’s reflections on her surgery yesterday… Would you like to know what God did in answer to the prayers of the saints yesterday, the day of my breast cancer surgery? This is long, so if it is TL:DR (too long: don’t read) for you, the short answer to that question is: A LOT. […]

If At First You Don’t Succeed…

January 4, 2023

…Try, Try Again We appreciate your prayers. The cardioversion was done without incident… but also without success. After the maximum number of 3 jolts, Bill’s heart was still in AFib (out of rhythm). He will see his doctor soon to discuss what options to try next. Stay tuned. Thanks so much for for standing with […]

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. But Bill was still able to do the ministry part. He pre-recorded his main introductory two-hour session last Sunday, once his cough was […]

Here’s a very quick update (you’ll see why it’s quick in a minute.) We’re taking off on a ministry trip to AFRICA tomorrow!

Talk is not Cheap

March 7, 2021

Talking is Important. Missionaries need to talk… fluently! They have an important message to communicate. And it takes years of hard work to gain that fluency. That’s why Bill and his team are developing the updated Engage culture/language acquisition (CLA) how-to materials, and the Stages CLA app. We want to make the task easier by […]

The Gospel Goes Viral

A Matter of Life and Death

April 9, 2020

The Virus that Shook the World COVID-19. The whole world is talking about it. Everyone is concerned. Everyone’s routines and lives are being disrupted. People are dying. We pray that each of you is safe and healthy whether you are sheltering at home, or heading out to work or shop. The Morning that Changed Everything […]

The “Why”

March 9, 2020

“When you know your ‘why’ then your ‘what’ has more impact, because you’re working towards your purpose.” Michael Jr. After a night of fitful sleep interrupted by unfamiliar sounds and punctuated with excruciating leg cramps, the sunlight streamed in through the windows way too early that morning. It had taken us a grueling 15 hours […]

Fire & Ice
