Why are we here?

August 26, 2016

Jared and I had the privilege to share “our story” with the freshmen class during their orientation days as to why we are here serving at NTBI-Waukesha. In our preparation for this we saw again the faithfulness of God—confirming in our hearts the urgency of reaching the “lost”. We also showed a power point presentation […]

Flippin’ Tables

August 25, 2016

That girl I mentioned in my *previous post –the one I dated at age 16, who confronted me about life-long relationships and missions? Here’s the rest of the story.

Dear Brothers and Sisters, 1 Thess 5:16-18 commands us to “Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

No Car? No Problem (for God)!

August 23, 2016

Discouraged, I took my keys back from the salesman and walked outside. I had come to this Chevy dealership with one purpose: selling our struggling Uplander minivan during my weekend in El Paso, so I would not return to Mexico with a defunct vehicle registered to my Mexican resident’s visa. If the minivan broke down […]

Money & Accounts

August 21, 2016

One of our church elders joked once, “Oh, here’s the missionary, looking for money!” I know he was joking, but over the last month or so I’m becoming more convinced that’s all people hear when we call and ask to share our ministry with them. There are times when I feel envious of Paul and […]

Cry of the Blood

August 19, 2016

As I was working on the rough draft translation of Hosea for the Higaunon scriptures, a simple word in a verse brought to memory Amy W. Carmichael’s poem “Cry of the Blood” and I thought I’d share that with you here. CRY OF THE BLOOD The tom-toms thumped on all night, and the darkness […]
