Excitement in October 2011

October 3, 2011

A new church is born!! Just today, as I write this (Oct.1st), we have heard that a new body of believers was started this weekend among another previously-unreached people group. This was in Papua New Guinea, among the Siar tribe. Another piece to the Revelations 5:9 puzzle is coming together! [For more details click on […]

Countdown in September 2011

September 6, 2011

10, 9, 8, 7 … « Dix, neuf, huit, sept, … » I find my days filled with editing, proof-reading and multiple minute details, as the countdown for preparing these grade one Bible lessons for Haiti is upon us. Their schools start October 3rd, and all of the final checking hasn’t been completed yet. […]

Alone in August 2011

August 12, 2011

I’m home alone! Martha flew out to California, to visit our oldest son Aaron, Avé, and our three grandchildren (ages 5, 3 & just-turned 2). And I’m at home working on the Haiti Bible lessons for grade one. We are a bit behind schedule right now on these lessons, since working on a translation from long […]

AHH! in July 2011

July 12, 2011

Here’s what I remember when I say AHH! A – reminds me of Africa, where our co-workers have returned for the summer again, working on Bible translation into the Palaka language, and encouraging the fledgling native church. They are also teaching them some computer skills to help in the Bible translation process which the […]

Waiting in June 2011

June 12, 2011

It’s a girl! Naomi Violet Miller was born June 9th, at 1:38am. Mother (Heidi) and baby are doing great… so are Opa and Nana. 🙂 We have enjoyed being able to come to Idaho to wait for this little one with Mark, Heidi and their family. You see, waiting is one of the lessons […]

Safe in May 2011

May 2, 2011

The tornado did not hit our house or the Peterson house we just sold. That’s praise the Lord times two: that the Peterson house sold, and that we are safe!! Yes, Rainsville, Alabama was hit hard, with over 30 people who died in the tornado from our town of 5,000 alone, and many more, even friends […]

Aching in April 2011

April 6, 2011

Aching for Côte d’Ivoire! With fighting escalating in our former home town, Abidjan (as of April 4th) we just ache for all the hurting people of Ivory Coast. They are experiencing terrible disruptions (lack of food, gasoline, means to work, lootings, burnings, and worse) because of the rival and tribal fighting and killings. We […]

Joy in March 2011

March 17, 2011

You can join us: every day, all day! Because JOY doesn’t depend on our circumstances. Martha and I are reading a 90-day challenge about this joy that is ours, for the taking. (See Champagne for the Soul, by Mike Mason.) So when the new potential buyers found everything they needed in our house (wheelchair […]

First base in February 2011

February 6, 2011

No, we haven’t died on first base; we’re still safe on first; and ready to run for second. (Aren’t you glad the Coach knows if the fly ball will be caught, and when it is safe to run to second?!!) Our meeting with the NTM leaders and Baptist Haiti Mission workers on Jan.14th went very […]

Waiting in January 2011

January 9, 2011

We have Haiti on our minds! I will be flying to Florida on Thursday, for meetings on Friday (Jan.14) about the Bible curriculum project. Two leaders from New Tribes Mission, two leaders from Baptist Haiti Mission, the ANI Bible curriculum developer and I will be going over our mutual goals and time-lines
