I came across a file marked, “Old Newsletters” in my overly crowded file drawer. Inside were copies of letters and documents going back decades of LOGOI’s ministry.
The story of the “three fingered” pastor named Flavio jumped out at me.

October 2019 Prayer and Praise
September 30, 2019OH NO!!! You may remember our asking for prayer for some teenage LOGOI students in Santa Marta, Colombia last May. They are students at a privileged high school where the director signed up the 9th, 10th, and 11th graders for one of our Bible courses. They all failed and we thought we would never hear… Read More»
Ruth’s Great Grandson
September 17, 2019I noticed a lady arriving just as the message began on Sunday morning. I didn’t recognize her but am always happy to see someone new coming to church. There were plenty of places to sit where most of us had gathered in the middle, but she sat off to the side, alone.
September 2019 Praise and Prayer
August 30, 2019This Prayer and Praise fills me with much emotion of both joy and longing. Some of you know I married very handsome Les Thompson 58 years ago in August. We did not have the blessings of our parents and families. God gave us His blessing, though. This widowed and godly man who had three little… Read More»

August 2019 Praise and Prayer
July 30, 2019This past school year a teacher in a private elite high school in Santa Marta, Colombia, South America signed up her students to take one of our Bible courses. From the onset, it seemed clear the high schoolers didn’t take their Bible studies seriously. They all failed miserably. We thought, “Well, that’s that. She tried.” The… Read More»
“Why, God?”
July 6, 2019With the 75th Anniversary of D-Day I found myself watching a few war films and documentaries. It’s easy to forget how young so many soldiers were who fought in these great battles. In a WWI documentary, soldier after soldier said, “I was 16 years old when I volunteered,” with a few admitting they were barely… Read More»
July 2019 Praise and Prayer
June 30, 2019We have just finished updating a “magazine-ette” we did years ago called, ¿Por qué, Señor? [Why, God?]. It was first produced to help provide a biblical view of why God allows suffering. It has been used over the years in response to the many natural disasters that have occurred in Latin America. We were glad… Read More»
Happy Father’s Day!
June 14, 2019“When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.” —Mark Twain Father’s Day is fun for me. While I miss my Dad… Read More»
June 2019 Praise and Prayer
June 6, 2019PRAISE: We are always so grateful for your prayers for LOGOI – and even for me! Isn’t it amazing the Almighty God Himself hears and answers! It is so wonderful to keep telling about new students God sends us: from the Dominican Republic, the Amazon jungle in Peru, a children’s worker in Chile, a… Read More»
