When we arrived 2 years ago, one of the things I noticed most, was that we always needed to watch our stuff because the local people were constantly looking what they could steal, and many times they did steal our stuff. If they didn’t come around to see what they could steal, they were coming […]

The world ends when one dies

My sister and I went to visit a man in the community that had questions about the Sabbath, but when we arrived at his house only his son, Jimmy, was there. A few weeks ago, I had given him a bible and told him to read it. I now asked […]

The number of factors that must have combined to make our meeting possible, not to mention successful, left me completely astounded. Yet, at the same time, it was nothing short of what I had asked for.

It was Sunday morning again, and that meant distributing materials to my colporteur teams and collecting my plastic-bag lunch from […]

“Hey, did you know your fuel tank cap is missing?” Mr. Enrique asked when I pulled up in “Ogre,” our dilapidated Nissan Condor truck, to give him a jump-start.

“What? Ooh no!”

It was a face-palm moment: yet another numbskull move to mark against my name!

“I must have forgotten to put it back on when I fueled […]

The Road Will Break Our Taxis

…came the repeated reply.

After four hours on a bus, two hours waiting for a taxi and a long ride down a bumpy, dusty road, we finally arrived at this semi-remote airstrip. After meeting with the village officials and taking a look at the runway, we asked to travel on.

The next […]

“Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think…” Ephesians 3:20

I often unintentionally underestimate God. Otherwise how could I be so surprised when He often answers my too-general, small-faith prayers in such flabbergasting ways?

This year, as usual, we began searching for tickets at least a month before […]

This past month has FLOWN by! We have been busy and God has been good. The treatment of our dear Muslim friend is continuing. She is slowly showing improvement. God is so good. Her husband is a very interesting person. Once several years ago, he tried to get us to argue about religion. We tried […]

Give and it shall be given unto you: good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over shall men give into your bosom…” Luke 6:38

Names in Scripture are an index to character. That’s why God often changed people’s names. For example, Jacob (which means the usurper or deceiver) became Israel the conquering prince. In […]

What a day Tuesday was! We had 60 moms and babes visit the nutrition center. It took six of us from 0900 to 1700 to assess all of them and then make formula up for each child that needed something to feed on for the next 7 days.

We were able to discharge or graduate 29 […]

We have finally planted ourselves here in Tchad, Africa. We are on the outskirts of a small village called Bendelay which is near a large village/town named Bere. –

(Search on a google map for Bere Adventist Hospital and you will be able to get a good idea of where we are in Tchad. I would […]
