Itʼs been two months since I announced my ministry change from missionary representative to church planting missionary to the country of South Africa.

Dear Pastors and Praying Friends, It is quite shocking to think how much we have travelled since we have been back in the U.S.! We arrived the first part of November and since then we have driven about 25,000 miles around America. We have been as far west as Kansas City and Houston, as far…

Dear Praying Friends, Where to begin? It has been a full month, and as always, full of God’s blessings! One of my favorite verses in the Bible is Eph 3:8, which says: “Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the…

April was an incredibly busy month for us. In the three weeks leading up to Easter Sunday, April 24, we had to move out of our old church building, set up a new church office building, prepare for our big Easter service, and get out 30,000 pieces of literature! Thank you for praying for the…

Dear Praying Friends, I am writing this letter from a cabin in north GA, where we have spent the past week in Vision Baptist Missions orientation. It has been a great time of fellowship, but even more it has been a great time of instruction. I am so excited to be on the way to…

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…

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!

The last couple of months have been exciting to say the least. We have hosted another group and seen God do some incredible works!

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…

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…
