We spent the weekend in Huntsville as guests of a very special church family. It is evident that the families care for one another, love the Lord, take their f...

When I get down and think our work in vain, and not worth the struggle, it helps to reflect back on the amazing things God has done in our past.

Luis had faithfully attended the training sessions for church planting. He lived across the river from Guayaquil in the neighboring city of Durán. In his local community, everyone knew the friendly Luis who operated a small business out of his home selling eggs, TP, bananas, rice, batteries, and ot...

Working on a missions team has its wonderful benefits and God has allowed my family to do just that for a little over eleven years now. Needless to say we have learned a lot. In fact when God helped me to realize that He was calling me to the mission field it was because a visiting missionary, durin...
