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 […]

My God shall supply

April 4, 2014

Phil. 4:19, “And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” We all know this is true, but sometimes our situation clouds our thinking. For example, it is easier to trust God when you have a healthy savings and pay role; but when both are small and […]

CHRISTMAS, CHAPELS, AND MORE

February 18, 2014

Christmas came and went way too quickly, but we thoroughly enjoyed our time with friends and family, especially with our adult children. Ben and Jessica were able to spend eight days with us, and our college-aged kids were with us for 24 days; we can’t express how thankful we are for those days. Plus our […]

Spicers’ Goals

October 4, 2013

Our home assignment is flying by, as we have been in the US for three months already. In our last letter we mentioned that we purchased a minivan and were looking at houses. After much prayer and asking advice, we are excited to say that we purchased a beautiful home near Wichita, KS. We are […]

In the US

July 24, 2013

We have been in the US for about 5 weeks now. It has been great to see family again and to reconnect with friends. Our first week was a whirlwind. I went to a Faith Academy reunion in Texas a few days after landing in Kansas. It was so good to see friends I had […]

The month of May is packed with several events on every weekend, and many other nights have something happening. The Middle School Arts Festival is tomorrow; Abby will be playing in the band. Cheryl, as a senior […]

March Happenings

April 5, 2013

We were hoping that the pace in March would slow down some, but the busy pace continued. When Walter returned from the basketball tournament, he prepared and taught two sessions to 21 staff at Faith Academy that are working on their Biblical Philosophy of Christian Education. Walter had not done this before, so it was stretching, […]

February at Faith Academy

March 17, 2013

February is past now and we are coming to the end of another quarter in one week. February was a busy month for us. The first week of February was the middle school week of Outdoor Education. We took the entire middle school plus several squads from outside schools to focus on World War II […]

O For A Thousand Tongues to Sing

January 28, 2013

A new year has begun and we are beginning a new semester. We enjoyed a break from school as a family and also attended our mission conference. It was wonderful to see our co-workers with New Tribes Mission and what is going on in their various works. It was also a good reminder of why […]
