Momentum Returns

May 12, 2020

Support Update (Good News!) I want to share an inspiring analogy here about how things are going for us, but I don’t think that it’s needed. What is needed is being provided! We’ve been praying throughout the slow-down we’ve all been in and are still walking through, that God would resume His work in the […]

making the most of these days

April 7, 2020

We hope that this finds you and your family well. Joyce and I are healthy and working from home. There sure have been lots of changes to life in a few short weeks, haven’t there? The virus has changed the way we greet each other, shop, work, clean, educate the kids, meet together as a […]

a different rhythm

January 28, 2020

This year is proving to be one with a different rhythm than the last years. And it’s a welcome and exciting change for us! The years of packed international travel schedules and the constant pressure of the next workshop and language has reached the “tipping point” where many of the countries have trained literacy consultants […]

next adventure in literacy: Africa

October 7, 2019

Soon we’ll be jumping on planes and traveling to W. Africa for the next adventure in literacy. Appreciate your prayers as we train consultants and work with a team to produce literacy materials.

Prayer Update

April 3, 2019

Thank you for praying for Tom’s health. On the 26th he had surgery to address the bladder cancer that had been found in a previous doctor’s visit. We are grateful to God that he came through the surgery well and is recovering. A few weeks later we received the results that he has slow-growing, non-invasive […]

multiplying a treasure

March 15, 2019

Some treasures are too big to keep to yourself – you’ve just got to share them with others! That’s what we’ve found with the literacy software. But for this big treasure to be shared with the many on our worldwide literacy team who don’t speak English, it has been translated into Spanish, Portuguese, French, etc. […]

The Sign Says It All…

February 7, 2019

Earlier this week when Amy went in to our medical clinic for a planned check in with the doc, we found that her hemoglobin had dropped to the levels we saw just before heading to Australia last November when she received an intravenous iron infusion. Her numbers this week were equal to the lowest we’ve […]

You Give Good Things

October 29, 2018

Some days my friend Andrea comes late to class. OK, most days. Almost every day. Being on time is not a big deal in this culture and for her it is almost an impossibility. She may be late, but she is conscientious about studying. A few weeks ago she missed the first hour and a […]

God is doing something so BIG

August 16, 2018

The media is filled with stories of the evil and disasters of life. And each of us have plenty of our own cares that weigh our hearts down. But let’s not get distracted by the difficulties each day brings and miss the fact that our God is still on the Throne! He is faithfully and with such loving-kindness […]
