Spring Break and Transitions

May 3, 2017

Third quarter ended the middle of March and we were able to get a much needed break. Hot season was beginning so what could be better than a trip to the mountains to see some friends. We were able to finally visit some long time friends, Rocky and Liz Niclasen, in their ministry amongst the […]

Finishing First Semester and Beginning Second

January 3, 2017

Thank you for continuing to pray for us! My eye continues to improve. As I said in my last email, I have not been in any pain and the retina healed fine. I am simply waiting for the gas in my eye to be replaced with its normal fluid, which is taking a little longer […]

Follow up on Walter’s Eye Surgery

November 13, 2016

Thank you so much for praying for us! We have talked with the doctor twice since the surgery. Walter’s surgery went well, talking about 45 minutes.

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 […]

Outdoor Education 2016

February 29, 2016

Thank you for praying for our week of Outdoor Education. There were some glitches but everything worked out well. Walter left the Saturday before with all the site leaders and seniors to get set up before all the students arrived. It was a little tricky getting onto Corregidor Island due to changes in the […]

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 […]

The last two days of last week was parent/teacher conferences. Walter had a few meetings with parents as well. Abby is also […]
