As our family continues down the road, I never cease to be amazed at those who tell us, “Oh, I could never do what you are doing!” Or, they may comment, “Lord bless you, but that type of work is definitely not for me!” Similar phrases normally revolve around the lack of amenities that are...

PA System & Solar Lights
We are so thankful to the Lord for technology. Many times we take things for granted here in America, but in many parts of the world things like electricity and lighting are not easy to come by. For awhile now, we have been looking for a PA speaker system that would enable outdoor evangelism as...
Living by Faith?
For those who have spent anytime reading mission stories and biographies, it will come as no surprise that things were much different not so long ago when it came to the way missions was done. Often I wonder if some of what we have done or are currently doing or even planning on doing is...

Day 4 – Pastors’ Conference in Duaita – Part 1
Shortly after going to bed, we were finally able to fall asleep even though it was quite warm. Ok, let’s be honest, it was hot! If we would have a fan to push the air around a little bit, it would have made sleeping a lot more tolerable. Now, if you have ever lived in...
