Outreach Update Since 10 February, our church has personally delivered gospel literature to over 6200 homes. Many of these are homes that we have never contacted before.

Dear Praying Friends, February has gone by faster than we could have believed possible: I actually had to stop and think about where I was writing this from! We are in snowy Detroit, by way of coal country in southern Ohio, the mountains of the Carolinas, and just two weeks ago, sunny Florida! Please keep…

Survey Trip Report The first couple of weeks of February we went on our survey trip and the Lord opened our eyes and opened doors as we traveled the country, talked with missionaries, and stood in the midst of darkness. Honestly, I felt overwhelmed at the enormous task of just the city of Bangkok. We…

Dear Pastors and Praying Friends, We had a very nice time over Christmas with Teri’s parents here for about ten days. We enjoyed spending time with them and having their help in the ministry as well.

Thank God! Those two words above say it all. We just want to take a little of your time and brag on how good God is. He is the one that led us to South Africa. We came with the wrong mindset. We came thinking we were going to do something great for God. But…

Dear Pastors, Partners & Praying Friends, The deputation trail has finally begun! We are very excited to tell you that we have now started full-time deputation. The Lord has allowed us to finish our training in Peru and we arrived back to the States in early September. Since that time, we have been working hard…

Hundreds of different language groups exist in this remote corner of the world, and many of these have not yet been reached with the Gospel. The Allens have been working for 5 years with the Kamea people, and they, with…

Happy New Year! The beginning of a new year always causes me to look back and see if anything is actually being accomplished. It is incredible when I think of all that God has done in the year and ten months that we have been here. I realize now more than ever that the God…

Investing in Eternity There is no greater investment than one that will last for eternity. Well, that is the type of investment that Christ gives us the opportunity to be a part of when we invest in the lives of people. From the time we arrived in Bolivia, our desire has been to plant indigenous,…
