~ Serving in Ecuador; South America ~ Dear Brethren and Family, A big hello from Ecuador! This first newsletter from our new little family in this new place represents a lot of big changes for us. After all the time and effort it has taken to move our new little household, we feel relieved to be in the place we’ve been talking about and headed for since before we were married. Our first week has had its challenges with Mary getting the stomach flu and us landing in a somewhat busy household, living in the same house as Jesse and […]
~ Serving in Ecuador; South America ~ Hello everyone! I keep waiting till I have time to write a proper update…. But that time just never comes so I will try to do a quick overview so you all know how to pray, because we really need it right now! God has been at work! It’s only by His grace that we can keep up with what He is doing! -Lyda came out of the jungle to live with us for a time, because her situation where she lives is definitely not conducive to spiritual growth. She has been doing […]
~ Making disciples in the city of Maguey, Jalisco Mexico ~ The Church is Growing Some will remember praying for Yesi. She lives at Rancho El Venado, ten minutes from Tototlán. She has 3 sons, and according to the last report we sent, her husband (Carlos) was in a rehabilitation center. During the time that Carlos was in rehabilitation, we baptized Yesi and her walk with the Lord is of great encouragement for the church here. One of Yesi’s greatest fears was that when time came for her husband to leave rehab, he would completely oppose her faith in Christ, […]
~ Itinerant ministry worldwide; Discipleship; Tribal work in Ivory Coast, Ghana, and Burkina Faso ~ Greetings all, Sharon and I arrived in Abidjan. We will be visiting Ed Enns during our stay here and start our flight home Sunday. We give the Lord glory for allowing us to accomplish the tasks we hoped to do. We were able to get over 20 tons of corn and rice to various Churches in the area, restock the school lunch programs and help with the widows and villagers needs. When things go well it’s because members of Christ’s body are all participating. Thank […]
~ Separated to the work in Columbia; South America ~ Dear family in Christ, Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord. 2 Pe 1:2 January and February have been busy but a fitting conclusion to our time here in the city. After returning to Medellín from a lovely trip to Ecuador over the New Year we settled back into our usual routines with our days mostly scheduled around language study. February 23was the end of our time at the language school. Many of the teachers and staff have become good […]
~ Serving in Loreto, Zacatecas ~ BALL BEARINGS Dear brothers in Christ, As you probably know, our plans to go to Ecuador fell through since there were so many visitors already with Jesse. Instead of leaving the 14th (of November) for Ecuador, we left the 15th for Zapotitlan, Puebla. We spent only a week there with the brethren as we had Lupita and Feilynn with us, and they had to get back to work. We were able to spend quality time with each of the brethren anyway. Since our return from there I have been busy with several studies a […]
~ Separated to the work in Ecuador, South America ~ Hello Saints, We wanted to give you all a quick update on what is going on down here and trust you will share this with the various congregations there in Oregon and Wyoming. It has been a super exciting time, because about two weeks ago now God added to the Church two new members!!! I know some of you have heard all about this, but I will tell the story anyway, because it is such a great story. Rudi and I have been getting together with Jesse and Tess as […]
~ Teaching and preaching in the USA and abroad; Conference speaker; Literature; Instructor and director of the SFMI Training Program ~ Greetings to you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, Our ministry here in Bend doesn’t seem to change too much. We are faithful to serve in the church with eldership responsibilities and to take part in the teaching ministry. We also continue to do street evangelism in downtown Bend almost every weekend. It is a time of much sowing without seeing much fruit of the harvest. We pray that others will be reaping a harvest from the […]
