Greetings from Oklahoma! It’s Tuesday August 2 and we’ve been home a week already. How thankful we are for our own home! Praise God with us for a safe and successful road trip. What a wonderful time we had with family, friends and ministry partners! We had invitations to visit more of you, but we […]
around the world in 68 days!
All the preparations are coming to an end and it’s about time to embark on our long trip. We will be working in 3 countries (Senegal, Burkina Faso and the Philippines) on 8 languages. And the route takes us completely around the world! But what excites our hearts and motivates us is that God will […]
Welcoming new granddaughter
Baby Bella We wanted to let you know that she’s here! Isabella Marie Collins was born on May 28. She weighed 7 pounds, 7 ounces and was 18 ¾ inches long. We praise God with Joey & Connie for this little miracle. Bella is our eighth grandchild, but it just never gets old! We can’t […]
Shaken and Changed
As I sat with Aaron contemplating the scene that was before me I felt tears well up in my eyes. My Patpatar friend sat holding her 14 year old boy, Jordan on her lap tightly trying to keep him from hurting himself. Just a minute earlier I had noticed him put his head on his […]
I Forgot Where You Were
You’re not alone. It’s easy to forget what in the world we are doing or where in the world we are. I don’t blame anyone, this journey began almost 9 years ago and we moved countless times. Here’s a timeline if it helps. 2007 – We met at Glen Eyrie in Colorado – missions […]
access to God’s Written Word
Putting on the miles… Since our last letter we’ve put on a few more miles to Colombia and England, worked with a team from Papua New Guinea on a revision of their literacy program, and lead some annual meetings with the team that translates church planting resources into Spanish. Life is full and we thank […]
Today, we buried a prayer partner…
It was more than forty years ago that we met Blanche. And it was about that time that the Lord was putting on her heart to engage in a ministry of intercession. Few people do this; even fewer spend a lifetime doing it. God takes notice. Isaiah 59:16 records how God saw the desperate condition […]
in their hands!
We had the most wonderful time in Panama for the Kuna leadership conference. It’s always a thrill to be able to reconnect with our Kuna friends, study God’s Word together, sing and hear reports of how God is working in the churches. But the thing that touched our hearts the most was something that they […]
Kuna missionaries
We have such a great respect for so many of our Kuna brothers and sisters in Panama! Anelio & Silverixia are a young couple that were sent out as missionaries by their church to a village upriver. You may remember that in 2009, while returning to the village where they minister, they lost their 3 year old son […]
may God’s name be made great in our pain
Hello from Panama! The checking of the Kuna literacy materials has gone very well. The Lord’s timing is so perfect! The Kuna Bible translation team has recently made some significant changes in the spelling of certain words and hyphenation. Since the literacy program’s main focus is to equip people to read the Kuna Bible, we […]
