With this letter we want to wish you a very HAPPY & BLESSED NEW YEAR! Our new year has gotten off to a good start even though we don’t enjoy the cold and snow that seems to always come with January. We were hit with a 15” snow storm on December 29 so still aContinue reading January 2020
December 10, 2019 Greetings all, We trust you all are enjoying this Christmas season!

The government is in the process ofContinue reading December 2019
This letter finds me having just returned from Asia Pacific last week.

Thanks so much for your prayers while I wasContinue reading November 1, 2019

Greetings All Wow what a trip!, but “the eagle” did get landed and on schedule. Monday was an early start as Jeanne and I left the house at 4:30 a.m. to head for the airport in Kearney. All was on schedule. When I got to Denver it was time to eat breakfast and so IContinue reading End of September 2019

Greetings all! We trust you all have been enjoying this nice summer! We wanted to send you out another update on some of the recent “goings on” in the region of Asia Pacific where we minister.
Dear ones, Summer has finally arrived! As we were working out in the yard on Saturday and shirts soaked with sweat we felt like we back in Asia Pacific!

Dear friends, Wow, I left for Asia Pacific during a cold March but have returned home to a beautiful Spring!

Hello! We thought that at the writing of this letter we might be welcoming spring back into our lives but it doesn’t appear that is happening. We have had so many consecutive days of freezing cold weather that the sewer pipes at our church froze up leaving us with quite a dilema. We are hopingContinue reading February 2019
Greetings all, It has been awhile since we sent out an email update so thought maybe this morning I would bring you up to date.

Dear Ministry Partners, It is hard to believe that November is already here and with it the winter months closing in quickly. In our last letter we were making plans for my departure to Asia Pacific. Little did I know at that time what was in store for me on this trip.
Greetings all, I want to thank all of you who have been praying for those of us involved in the massive earthquake that hit the city of Palu nearly two weeks ago.
