Dear Pastors, Leaders and Supporters,  “But my heart’s passion is to preach the gospel where the name of Christ has not been spoken, lest I build on another’s foundation.” Romans 15:20 Happy New Year to all of you. I am thankful to God from the bottom of my heart that He is opening up villages…

For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps: 1 Peter 2:21 Guillain Barre Syndrome (GBS) has knocked me down (in many ways) since early December, but by God’s grace I’m getting back up!  One of my sisters recently sent me this quote from a book she…

The heart of man plans his ways, but the LORD establishes his steps. Proverbs 16:9 Dear Friends, Family, and Loved Ones, Happy New Year everyone!

I love January! I’m always looking for a fresh start, a blank slate. It excites me to think about all of the things the Lord may have for us in the year ahead! It’s been a great holiday season. October through December is a busy time for our church, with Halloween Front Yard Party Outreaches,…

“That which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us; and truly our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ. And these things we write to you that your joy may be full.” 1 John 1:3-4 Dear Friends and Family, Merry Christmas! I know that by the…
