Building Project Update: We praise the Lord once again for His blessings on our building project in Bolivia. It seems as if the momentum is building. One of the things that we have seen is that the Lord can bless in many ways and from many unexpected places. This past month we had some great […]

1) Preaching. We set a goal for me to attempt and preach for five minutes at the end of my sixth month of language school. So this being our sixth month, I preached my first sermon in Chinese for about 6 minutes! This doesn’t mean that I am close to where I need to be, […]

Dear Pastors and Praying Friends, I know that this letter is coming out just a little bit late, but I wanted to wait until the first surgery for Joshua was done. God has been so good to us, and he looks great. On the 4th of April, they did a repair on his cleft lip […]

First of all, thank you all so much for praying about our Missions Conference last month. We were able to see two young men surrender their lives to serve the Lord fully! Secondly, we were able to raise our first Faith Promise total to s/.12,780 (+/-$4500) per year, which exceeded my expectations! One of our […]

Dear Praying Friends, Thank you again for your prayers and support. Thank you for making this time in Peru all possible. I have now been in Peru for 5 months and the Lord really is using this time in my life. My Spanish is coming along slowly but I will be finished with my second […]

During some of my last posts I talked about some of our plans and projects for Burkina Faso. I was contacted by Pastor Wallace. He is the pastor of Calvary Baptist Church in Trenton, GA. He expressed an interest in helping one of the projects. I sent him a list of projects, and he chose […]

The last couple of months have been exciting to say the least. We have hosted another group and seen God do some incredible works! A mission’s team put together by my cousin, Mark Coffey, came over during the first part of March. Part of the team was from Victory Baptist Church and Vision Baptist Church […]

After months of prayer, God has led us to an ideal piece of property for one of the churches in Chile!! Here’s some information about the opportunity: 1. It’s located within walking distance from our second church’s current location. 2. It is just a few steps from the corner of two main avenues. 3. From […]

Dear Pastors, Partners, & Praying Friends, It is exciting to be on the field serving our great God! I am constantly humbled that God is allowing us to serve him in this capacity, overwhelmed by the millions that haven’t heard and yet joyful seeing God do a work! This month we had language school as […]

New Meeting Place As many of you know, we have been praying for God to guide us to a different meeting place for our church. This month, the Lord really opened up some doors for us. It has not been easy to find a new place to meet.  In the past three months, we have […]

God has given us a great month on deputation! We were in 9 great churches this month, which is lower than normal because we were in 3 missions conferences. Praise God for 4 new supporters in March! Our support has been rising steadily, and we are still well on track for our target date of […]

Dear Pastor and Church, You may have noticed some major changes in this month’s prayer letter design. On April 3, 2011 at my home church, we announced that we will no longer be stateside representing the Peru Baptist College, but are now raising support as church planting missionaries to the country of South Africa. The […]

  It is a pleasure to be able to speak with you again.  We thank God for your love for His work and Church.  We began the month with a visit to the city of Chiclayo from the 10th until the 13th of March to the Good News Baptist Church where they were having their […]
