June 3, 2026 Thank you again for your prayers and financial support! Here are some photos from the Student Ministry Showcase. The students and one staff member shared from what they learned in Creative Ministry Methods class (drama, sketchboard, storytelling, etc.) or...

Thank you for praying for the ministry trip. The students returned after spring break with very positive accounts of how God used them and about what He did in their lives. Thank God! The photo above is from the day native students and staff dressed in their...

This week the students are on their ministry immersion trip. From what we have heard, it has been a rough one with limited living accommodations, no hot water, wind, and blowing sand. Pray God would use this time in the lives of the students (and staff) who are...

I would like to introduce you to the two women I am life coaching this year. Tiyana comes from the east side of the Navajo Reservation and is a new believer. It is a joy to be the first one to introduce her to many of the Bible characters and stories. I also sometimes...

It’s not easy to write about the “failures” we experience in our ministries, but even Jesus saw one of His own twelve disciples chose Satan’s path over His. And he never returned. Three days before the end of the fall semester 2025, one of the IBC students decided to...

I hope you don’t mind if I take this opportunity to reflect on the past a bit. The highlight of 2025 for me was my trip east. It is such a privilege to be involved in so many of your lives over the course of the years! Thank you for your faithfulness to the Lord and...

Contentment. What does it mean to be content? Just coming off Black Friday, it’s worth contemplating. According to the December 2025 World Magazine, 31% of Americans who used credit for last Christmas’s gifts are still paying down that bill! Ouch! How many of them...

In the late afternoon sunlight, the barren knobs looked like long Navajo skirts with their many folds. Long shadows accented each dry rivulet. Subtle shades of grey, brown, and tan were accented by light crimson and purple. It was beautiful in its austerity. This part...

“I’m trying to respect my teachers by keeping up with my homework,” the student shared. What? Did I hear that right? I’ve never had a student express that before! How perceptive! Indeed, it can be seen as disrespect toward the instructor when a student waits till the...

If you prayed with us for ten new full-time students, THANK YOU! God answered! If I counted right, we now have 28 students fulltime on campus, including TEN new freshmen and two returning after a hiatus! We’re excited to start our new semester on Labor Day! I will not...

We were taking my car back to my sister-in-law’s house from the dealership where I got an oil change when suddenly we heard a siren. We both pulled over in our respective cars as a police car skidded to a stop on the other side of the road. Unbeknownst to me, my...

Today marks the halfway point for my summer travels. It seems like years ago that I left. My flu symptoms diminished as I drove east, and I am feeling quite well. God has blessed me with 15 opportunities to share updates or visit with individual supporters and 3,586...
