Happy February!  “How we thank God for you! Because of you we have great joy in the presence of God… 12 And may the Lord make your love grow and overflow to each other and to everyone else, just as our love overflows toward you.” (1Thess. 3:9-12) We praise God for the wonderful time that […]

Happy Thanksgiving! First quarter is over, and it is already November. We are praising God that we are allowed to do face-to-face classes with our sports and fine arts programs. It is exciting to see everything running again! But we have discovered that starting all of our programs is exhausting, so please pray for strength […]

We are so thankful that Faith Academy (FA) was allowed to have face-to-face classes in February, and that there was no spike in COVID numbers, allowing us to continue to the end of school.

Proverbs 16:9, “A man’s heart plans his way, but the LORD directs his steps.” We had planned to return to the Philippines first semester, but with the travel restrictions due to the COVID-19, we were not allowed. Then things started opening up and we were approved to return in January, but with the new CoronaVirus […]

It is after the New Year, and we are still here in the US. We thought we might be done with surprises, but I guess not. Just a few days before we were to fly to the Philippines, the Philippine government put a travel ban until January 15 to foreigners traveling from or through certain […]

Luke 2:10-11 – But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid; for behold I bring you good news of great joy which will be for all the people; for today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.” It is exciting to be […]
