“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...

Six weeks of classes until Christmas break. I have been enjoying teaching North American History again. There are seven students in the class. Five are Navajo, one is San Carlos Apache, and one is Anglo. Years ago when Jason first asked me to teach the class I was...

Do you remember when I last wandered the country to visit you all I told you I was going to be the curator of the IBC museum? Well, you may recall that there wasn’t a museum at that point. I am happy to report that now there is! Three of us on staff formed the team...
