Saul #4
This is our last day in Tennessee so we will be heading to Lake Charles Monday evening. The Lord has spoken so clearly to me about the transition and where we are headed as a ministry. We attended church this morning and they asked if I would take…
Saul #3
It finally feels like Fall. It rained yesterday and leafs were falling & the sound of the rain was soothing. We walked & saw deer and wild turkeys & spoke of returning home to Guatemala on Friday. Saul worked so hard to show God he cared but his…
Saul #2
It used to be when people bowed their heads in a restaurant they were praying. Now they are looking at their I-phone, texting or reading emails. The closer we come to ending our stay in the cabin the more we realize how important it is to have solitude…
Saul #1
This was a cold, windy day so Dottie and I ventured out for only a couple of hours to visit an antique mall that had 200 booths. That was a bunch of old stuff. Of course they ere things Dottie and I used when we first married. After…
SAMUEL #2
Yesterday was our son Chad’s 44th birthday. Sue, of Larry and Sue fame, had successful eye surgery yesterday. I miss them. Her sister, Connie, is in the hospital and needs prayer. Yesterday we unloaded a truck of firewood. Dottie & I walked through downtown and then visited a cave…
Samuel #1
Charlie Rogers, the evangelist who first brought me to Guatemala, has resigned from the WMF executive board after decades in order to continue training his 4,000 pastors in Africa. Yes, over 4,000 pastors! He has been a friend to us for over 40 years. His note made me…
Hannah #2
We were walking the nature trail today and passed the first mile marker when the heavens opened and it rained up a storm. The temperature dropped 31 degrees from yesterday. It si nice. Josue messed up his foot and is in a walking boot. Duke came in today…
Hannah #1
Last night our hosts took us riding through 350 acres of undeveloped land and we were able to spot at least 40 or more beautiful deer. We attended church in the nearest city. Some of the folks had been to Casa so they recognized us. In the evening…
Ruth #2
We had a wonderful blessing. We attended a Messianic Jewish church service. Karem, Adonai, The Vineyard of the Lord, and the Rabbi read many scriptures both in h e Old an New Testament and shared a wonderful message. Augustine & Dania grew up at Casa & he emailed…
Ruth #1
Dottie and I walked the railroad tracks and Dog hill and then we ate dinner with our hosts. I have read three books in their entirety and just filling myself with the Word. God has been speaking to us. I suppose one of my characters in the…
Samson #3
Dottie ate dinner with our hosts but I was not feeling well so I missed a great meal. In over 50 years of ministry I have never gone this long without preaching. It is a very strange and even empty feeling. Dottie did a little shopping today and…
Samson #2
Gabriella, Veronica and Jeny are the ones woeking the mechanical cow. As we saw yesterday Samson was taken captive by his own lust and pride. He was a prideful man in that he did not think that God was watching. Even if no one else ever sees your…
Samson #1
The children began making soy milk with the mechanical cow. The children have not taken to it yet but they will in time. Dottie and I pray, read, walk in the woods and rest seeking His will. Samson was not only the strongest man on earth he was…
Rahab #2
Sebastian’s mother is very ill and he has asked for prayer on her behalf. Tim said he counted 26 young people who were saved in Sunday’s service following Adam’s preaching. We are physically both feeling better. The down time has been good for us. Being forced to rest…
Rahab #1
Visited a long time with Thom. Then we did our walking and spent the evening in the Word. I am seeking direction as to the next phase of the transition. Pastor Dave says he has had little response for graduation rings so if you are sponsoring a graduate…
Caleb#2
We attended First Church of Bethlehem this morning. We are both feeling better physically. Dottie needs a miracle in her eyes. We are spending time seeking God’s will & trusting that he will send maintenance personnel and more house parents to Casa. Aroldo attended a conference on dialysis…
Caleb #1
Caesar and Victor are moving to Vencedores to help Lee & Candy. They are very good examples. Dottie went shopping while I read, walked and meditated as I seek the Lord and some answers. I have always had trouble being 'still' before the Lord. My mind is running…
Joshua #3
Our flights were delayed in Lake Charles & Dallas but we arrived almost on time. Thom & Shawna met us where we hooked up with their daughter for dinner and were at the cabin by 10pm. So it was a good day and I slept very well. Today…
Joshua #2
Dottie lost her Bible, I-Pad & books last Friday. As I was walking today a gentleman came to me & asked if I lost a Bible. He had found it in the grass while mowing. No damage at all even though the items were in the weather 5…
Joshua #1
This is Independence week in Guatemala so the children are involved in parades(our marching band), sports(soccer and basketball for both male and female) beauty pageant, etc. I do not want you to worry about my physical health. It is simply stress & mental pressure. The Holy Spirit will…
