Here are pictures from the big celebration that took place in Arequipa on the 3rd anniversary of getting the kids adopted. They became our children and we love them so much. God truly blessed. These are Chris and Andria’s kids and the others are Joy and Julio’s kids. Just a minute of grandparent boasting. Thank […]

It has been a great day at Vision! God gave us 102 in Sunday School and 141 in the AM service with 100 in the PM service. It was great to see David Lundy and all those who worked so hard in VBS tonight as they recognized the children, showed the short video and we […]

Well I want to invite you to read a post by Pastor Tim Fellure called A Fault in Fundamentalism! Let me give you a couple paragraphs to get you interested enough to click over and read it: But there is a fault among us that is doing much greater damage to our name and cause […]

Well God gave us a great week at VBS. All of you did such a great job and I know that you have expended large amounts of time, energy, prayer, and on the part of several of you large amounts of money. According to David Lundy we reached a total of 83 children, raised $375.08, […]

                              

As Tony Howeth and I rode home in the van tonight we talked about how you all have set your face like flint and risen to the challenge. You are a great church. I can not tell you how much I appreciate you. I have seen you step up and work and invite and teach […]

As far as I am concerned “Facing the Giants” is one of the best movies ever made. I especially like a conversation between the football coach and an older gentlemen in the hall way. I encourage you to watch the clip. Prepare for rain A week ago we challenged our teenagers to ask God for […]

Well I do not know what would have happened at this VBS if it had not of rained every day! I am so proud of each of you and grateful to God for what He has done. I am looking forward to what He is going to do tonight. It has already rained today so […]

           

Well here it is the third night of VBS and David and Anne Lundy are still tops. There was one saved tonight and another from last night that I heard about after I had already finished the post. There were 66 children and 42 workers. I am so proud of the way all of our […]

Well I want to challenge you to go ahead and get your calendar out and make some notes for upcoming events! There is a lot on the calendar and I have to look at it regularly just to keep up. That means that I figure that it is about that bad for you! First thing […]

I want to remind you that this Saturday there will be an AWANA training meeting here at the church. It will last from 9 am till 3 pm. I know that this has been a very busy week and so I know that you are going to have to summon that extra effort to be […]

Well this our second night of the VBS and David Lundy and his gang are doing a great job. It was raining cats and dogs tonight and they still had 67 children and 108 in total. As David left the office after I congratulated him he said well we might just have some saved tonight […]

Today is one year since Ronald, Asunta, and Surama arrived in Atlanta! They have been a wonderful blessing to our church and we love them very much. God has really used them to reach out to our Spanish Community. The foundation has been laid and I am sure that you are going to see much […]

We have several missionaries that we love and support in the city of Arequipa, Peru. Also our own staff member, Chris Gardner, is there serving as a missionary. One of the most important ministries that we support as a church is the Peru Bible College. I want to ask you to read the following Chris’ […]

Well I was so pleased tonight with our first VBS. David and Anne Lundy did a great job with all of their staff. There were in the neighborhood of 40 adults working there tonight and in total we had 100 in attendance. That is pretty good for our first night. I think that it will […]

I got the following in the morning’s email. I have known about the need now for sometime but had hoped that they would have more time to get things taken care of. I hope you will pray with me for Julio. He is married to our youngest daughter Joy and in real need of this […]

82 in the service and a look at the Day of Pentecost added up to an interesting evening. Our study through the book of Acts is going to be an exciting time in the Word of God. I was also excited to hear of people talking to others about their salvation because no decision or […]

Well next Sunday, July 22, 2007, will be the one year anniversary of the Spanish Ministry under Pastor Ronald Tubillas here at Vision Baptist. I am so very grateful to God for what He has done with our dear people and how God has worked in their lives. Thank you for being so friendly and […]

Well in spite of the summer months God has allowed or better said has caused our attendance to stay up. This morning in Sunday School we had 102 and for church we had 118. I thank God for each of you and how you are inviting and bringing new people on a regular basis. This […]

Well I just rated the blog again after making that post and it moved us to an R rating because it says that we use the word missionary 10 times. That word missionary must made it worse. Oh well I think we will continue being a blog that gets a bad rating for caring about […]

Well I saw several others rating their blog so I thought that I would see what they said about Vision News. I was certain that we would get a G rating but we didn’t. This blog is rated PG because it uses the “bad word” missionary three times. That means that to read this blog […]

This is our youngest daughter, Joy Soncco, with our grandson and Joy and Julio’s oldest child, Benjamin! I must say that they are beautiful. I love them very much and wanted you to know them. Mom and Dad are very proud as I guess you can tell by this posting. I must admit that I […]

I’ll be flying out of Ouagadougou in about 5 hours now but before I do I thought I’d let ya’ll know what’s been going on here.  On friday afternoon we drove out to Roungo (a small village).  There were a few men around the church building wanting to help so with their help we painted the […]
