French in October 2020

October 26, 2020

The 14 men in the photo are all church leaders from the Loron people group in northeastern Côte d’Ivoire. They were having a church development workshop, led by Norbert who traveled to one of their villages to teach this seminar last month. This was a follow-up session for these local church teachers who no longer […]

No trips in March 2020

March 16, 2020

The Coronavirus has affected many international travelers. And while we had not planned any trip this month, we have been praying about whether a trip to Haiti could happen by the last week of July. I would still love to be able to teach a 2-week pastors’ training course down there. This teaching material starts […]

Our January 2020 Vision

January 19, 2020

You are probably tired of clichés about 20/20 vision, so let me simply say that we still want your prayers so that we will see clearly what God wants Martha and I to be doing for this coming year. No, we are not foreseeing any particular changes, not in our care for my mom, […]

Life in May 2019

May 14, 2019

Hi again, April showers bring May flowers. My mom, Hedy, says the weeds in our front & back yards are starting to call her. It’s hard to persuade dear momma to relax, to not work too hard. It’s spring, after all! Mom has recovered well from her falls and skin cancer minor surgery. We had […]

January 25, 2019

Happy New Year, Like many of you, we have looked back to evaluate our efforts in 2018, and we wonder what the Lord has for us in 2019 and beyond. Will the Lord give us another 4 years of full-time missionary service (until I turn 70)? Or will it be 8 years or even 18 […]

Another way in July 2016

July 12, 2016

Hello from Rainsville, Alabama, Last December we mentioned God leading the wise men home “by another way” – not knowing how prophetic that would be to our own ministry. We left Haiti thinking we were going to continue working on the Creole Bible curriculum from America, after our 6 months in Canada. Then New Tribes […]

Decisions in August 2015

August 24, 2015

Hi from Haiti, In June we shared the Dream the Lord had laid on our hearts for a 7-year project to write a chronological Bible curriculum for the Baptist Haiti Mission schools. We know that even if a person plans his course, it is the Lord that directs his steps (Proverbs 16:9). And, after writing our June prayer letter, […]

Dreams in June 2015

June 11, 2015

Hi from the mountains of Haiti, We got back to the Baptist Haiti Mission (BHM) campus last month. As we look ahead to the next few years of ministry, we’d like to share our dreams and ask for your prayers about them. Our original goal of being able to develop a chronological Bible curriculum for […]

Skip to November 2013

November 14, 2013

We drove to Canada in October. No, we didn’t drive from Haiti – we flew to Atlanta, were picked up by great Alabama friends, and stayed a few days in our home with Crystal (who is a precious house-sitter for us.) We enjoyed seeing friends at church, a Ladies meeting, Celebrate Recovery, prayer & Bible […]

Lapli in September 2013

September 12, 2013

In Creole, they cry: “Lapli ! Lapli !” when it starts raining. This means, “The rain! The rain!” When we got up this morning we looked at the thermometer, ‘cause we felt so cold, and it was down to 70 F. (21 C.) It has been raining a lot these days. But here on the […]
