Greetings all, Wow, what a trip! I want to thank each of you for your prayers while I was gone. It was a “packed full” time, to say the least, both spending time with our precious Wana brothers and sisters along with making numerous consultant visits with our missionary teams serving in the region.

Greetings all, In working on Judges drafts & lessons, I find in my study that some commentators/preachers like to point out all the weaknesses and negatives of these “Judges” of old, including Gideon. Yes, they surely had their weaknesses and faults, but I sometimes think the big picture of what God is trying to teachContinue reading Christmas greetings 2022

Dear Co-workers, It is hard to believe that we are already into the month of July! Since our last letter, we have had to say a difficult goodbye to our kids as they left back for Peru, South America on May 24. It was such a blessing to have them with us during their homeContinue reading July 2022
