Unexpected Surgery

October 24, 2016

Last Saturday God ordained that I notice a change in my vision. So I changed my plans today and went to the eye clinic, one of the best in the Philippines. After seeing several people, the retina specialist told me that I have a small tear in my right retina which caused a portion of […]

Opportunities for Missionaries’ Kids

September 17, 2016

Our ministry here at Faith Academy is to missionaries’ children. We support missionaries by providing a good education to their children. This frees them to focus on their ministry, knowing their children’s educational needs are being met. We want to do more than provide them with an education academically. We want to see them grow […]

Whirlwind Ending and Summer

July 3, 2016

The school year ended in a whirlwind. We enjoyed the final banquets and award ceremonies. It is truly a bitter-sweet time. It is amazing how we quickly bond with one another, so when people leave, it is difficult. Several staff members are leaving for good and several on their home assignments. We will miss them […]

Student Ministry in December

January 2, 2016

Second quarter, the middle school students made hygiene packs as gifts to give out to people during their ministry outreach in December. (These are “shoe boxes” filled with soap, food, etc.) They had a contest between the four barkadas/groups to see who could bring the most. We collected over 1000 hygiene packs! Grade 6 ministered […]

Summer in the US

Our time in the US is going by quickly. We are so thankful for our time here. We see that it is God’s timing that we were able to be in the US this summer for a few weeks. We were greeted by some of our family and our grandson, Lucas. It has been fun […]

School has Begun

July 31, 2014

We have been in the Philippines now for two weeks. We arrived a day after the typhoon came. Our house was fine with the exception of a couple of small large bushes that were down and our phone line is still not working. We were fortunate to have power when we arrived. But the next […]

Final Days

July 15, 2014

Lamentations 3:22b-23, “…his compassions fail not. 23They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. As I write this, we are traveling back to Wichita. We had a great time visiting with friends and family on our way to Wisconsin. On Saturday, we enjoyed a God-honoring wedding, celebrating the union of our son, Paul, with […]

June Praises

June 24, 2014

Psalm 50:15, “Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify Me;” or another translation states: Trust me in your times of trouble, and I will rescue you, and you will give me glory.” Thank you for praying for us! We have had an exciting week. We have […]

Grace

June 5, 2014

2 Corinthians 9:8, “And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work.” While we are on our home assignment, we often hear from people: “I could never be a missionary!” But then after talking with them […]
