Dear friends and family, Most of this was written yesterday, as we were flying somewhere over Louisiana, at a cruising altitude of 39,000 thousand feet, on our way to Miami International Airport. I say we, because my parents were on the same flight. They got on the plane to Bolivia today and I will […]
Dear friends and family, Greetings from a chilly Lima, Peru, where I will be speaking over the weekend before continuing to Tarapoto to teach a couple weeks at the Bible School on Church History. Then it’s off to Miami and Seattle before returning home in mid-August. June was a month of great suffering for […]
Dear friends and family, What so many of us were praying for and hoping for (none more than myself!) has finally arrived. Genesis and I are officially engaged! We are so blessed and encouraged! Despite a ludicrously-busy month of May, one full of surprises, where we encountered great joy and sorrow, I was reminded […]
(Pictured above: Recording for TV, using the opportunity to promote my book. Santiago, who is next to me, is a well-known elder in the area) Dear friends and family, I’m currently on route back to Bolivia after a good few weeks in New York and New Jersey, preaching at a variety of Spanish- and English-speaking […]
(Pictured: promo made for Confesiones de un inquisidor; release date April 14, 2017) Dear friends and family, Reading through 2 Corinthians 6 a couple days ago, I was encouraged by the Apostle Paul’s tenacity and perseverance in the ministry. He speaks of the many challenges that faced his ministry: being persecuted by Jews and Gentiles, […]
(Pictured above: with Pastor Tonchy Oropeza who came with his band “Como Callar” to give a concert) Dear friends and family, Seeing as we are in the Southern Hemisphere, February and March tend to be busy months for all of us here, with the Bible School starting up, as things in general begin at school, university, […]
(Pictured above: Recording on national television channel “Solo Noticias”, speaking on Islam, radical terrorism, the Islamic Antichrist, and the GOSPEL!) Dear friends and family, This is likely the latest I’ve ever sent out a ministry update and there is good reason for it. I was awaiting confirmation of one of the most important and most-longed […]
Dear friends and family, How can we gauge if 2016 was a success? Perhaps we can do it this way: did your bank account grow? Did you get a raise? Were you healthy? How many messages did you preach? How many ministries did you get involved in? People in Bolivia think New Year is the […]
Dear friends and family, November was a month I will not soon forget, one full of learning and finding joy in the Lord. God is so very good to us, never allowing us to settle for mediocrity, but leading us on to become ever more useful to His glorious purposes. Life was not given us […]
Dear friends and family, (Had enough politics for a day? A year? A lifetime? Don’t worry, none here!) I remember several years ago when I was organizing a big missions event at Emmaus Bible College. Many people were working together to orchestrate it, everyone on our team pulling their weight. The awaited day arrived and […]
