DEAR PASTOR AND CHURCH, 43% is the support level we hit this month! Since we started full time deputation in April, God has placed us in some great churches to present the field of South Africa. Even during difficult economic times, we have seen churches give sacrificially to get us to the mission field. These…

God has been really blessing over the last couple weeks. We continue to have first-time visitors and visitors that are returning, so we are excited that the Lord is growing the church. Also, on this past Sunday, we had a man named James join the church. James has been coming since January, and it was…

Dear Praying Friends, I just finished writing “thank-you” notes to churches and individuals from the past few weeks, and two thoughts crossed my mind: “Is that pain carpal tunnel syndrome?”, and, “WOW. God and His people have truly been good to us.” It’s definitely a good problem to have to write so many thank you’s!…

While on furlough we are raising funds for three areas of ministry. Maybe God would have you to partner with us in one of the following areas: 1. Personal monthly support – In the last two years, we have lost 18% of our personal support due in large part to the financial downturn in the…

These past few weeks have been really exciting at Iglesia Bautista Omega. Two Sundays, ago we were able to see three men saved! Last Sunday, we had an awesome service and afterwards a church potluck, with 126 in attendance! We had more than 20 first time visitors last month, and one young couple joined our…

The summer holidays in Northern Ireland are only eight weeks long, so it makes for a busy two months with two camps, our VBS/Holiday Bible Club, and our personal holidays. Even though the summer was very busy, we really enjoyed all that God did through the various events. God blessed the teen camp in a…

Dear Pastors, Partners & Praying Friends, We have had an unbelievable past couple of months. At the end of July, we started a three week trip to the Northeast that took us through ten different states preaching and presenting our burden for the British Isles. Having just completed our eighth month of full time deputation,…

I thank God for another month of blessings, of which you have been a part by way of your prayers. May God fill you with wisdom as His work is being carried out. Hunter Baptist Church This month, we are encouraging the brethren in their service, and we have seen the fruits of several decisions…

It is impossible for me to say anything negative about what God is doing in our lives and the ministry here in South Africa. He is always good! He is faithfully at work and great things are being done for His name sake. Last night, we had our men’s fellowship meeting between the four independent…

Dear Praying Friends, I can’t believe its been a year! We quit our jobs and hit the road for full-time deputation one year ago, and we wouldn’t trade that time for anything. As with anything else, its been hard work (and after 55k miles sometimes you get tired of a car), but it has been…

Deputation Update We have had a good time lately traveling and preaching and want to praise the Lord for how He continues to raise our support. Our support level at 11 months is just over 40% and promised support is much higher. We have not been very far from home for extended periods of time…

We have had a great time on the deputation road these last two months. We’ve been all over Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama, North Carolina, and even up to New York City. Several churches have made verbal commitments of taking us on for support, and several have already sent in new support. I will let…

Off and Running: Our first month back here in Bolivia has been both a busy and exciting one. Only a few weeks after arriving, even before we found a house, we had ten visitors from Grace Baptist in Zachary LA come and visit us, along with Bro. Tony Howeth and his wife Mrs. Stacey, who…

Dear Brethren I thank God for the ability to present myself to you. It is a pleasure to be able to count on you and on your prayers. I ask that God would continue to use you and to pour out His blessings on you. Macedonia Baptist Seminary We finished the semester the second week…

Deputation Update After 10 months of deputation, we are now at 40% of our needed monthly support for Thailand! The first part of June, we spent up north in Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, and then we came back south to meetings in Tennessee, North Carolina, and Georgia. We have now traveled over 37,000 miles on deputation…

Dear Praying Friends, The last two months have been a little crazy: between May and June we were home a grand total of 3 days! You know you have been on the road too long when you pull up to a motel, and your daughter yells: “We’re home!” Though it’s nice to be home for…

As usual, we are staying very busy here. The last several weeks have been consumed with our Summer Celebration 4 Kids, summer interns, and finishing some classes for my masters course. Our Summer Celebration 4 Kids was held on 5-7 July. We had a high of 32, and God really blessed with some new children…

Getting Settled In: We have now been back in Bolivia for almost three weeks and it seems as if we haven’t stopped to breath since. We had a really smooth trip here with no problems, especially since Titus hadn’t traveled on an airplane since he was one and the fact that we were bringing eight…
