Dear friends and family, It’s such a satisfying experience to have worked so hard towards a goal, to struggle through the last stages, and then see the job completed. Hard work – be it with a sledge hammer, writing a book, or making a special dinner – requires so much energy and effort, one might […]
Dear friends and family, Thank the Lord for all His blessing and guidance in the month of July! So thankful for all the opportunities and travels. Very grateful for Genesis, such a wonderful woman who loves the Lord deeply. The Lord has been so good to us! With all the activities and this relationship […]
Dear friends and family, July in Bolivia is often cold and seems to happen slower because of it. July is when the Bible School students go on vacation, leaving the property empty after a bustling first semester. July is also a month of preparation, getting ready for the next semester, taking trips and relaxing […]
Dear friends and family, It is hard enough to do something good today that will matter in ten years’ time. The world is full of those who live day to day, more often living for oneself, endlessly chasing that next spark of happiness, that next glimmer of glory. What about us? What can we […]
I’m so thankful that I had the privilege of interviewing Michael Card, a great musician and songwriter, with the intent of translating and publishing the article in Spanish. Soon it will be available in print and hopefully online, but I wanted to make the English format available to you all as well. May it bless […]

The letter to the seventh church in Revelation 3 correlates well with our current era; there Christ warns us that many churches will be filled with the world’s […]
Missionaries from a third world country grow accustomed to its oddities when it comes to food, dress, culture, travel, and so on. Being a missionary kid makes it feel normal. When my family visited churches in the Western world, I was often asked: “So how is Bolivia?” To my kid brain, the question actually seemed […]
Dear friends and family, I’m so thankful to the Lord for such a wonderful trip – 4 continents in 4 weeks! I’m also so very thankful to be back home and back to work. I’d like to share with you some pictures from my trip, feel free to ask if you’d like some more detail. […]
Dear friends and family, Greetings from cold and cloudy New York City! Quite a change from the heat and humidity I was experiencing just last week. I was attempting to mentally prepare myself for the change, but it’s hard to adapt to a 70 degree (Fahrenheit) difference. I’m thankful for the opportunity to be in […]
Dear friends and family, The Lord blessed my January with struggle and suffering. I say “blessed” because it brought me to my knees and closer to our loving heavenly Father. Truly all things from the Lord are for our greater good and lead to maturity, greater faith, and a fuller joy. We should never be […]
