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.

“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.

Happy Mother’s Day

2019 May Praise and Prayer
April 29, 2019PRAISE: Meet your new “cousin” and my “new grandson:” Julio Cesar Baeza Rodríguez. We’ll just call him Julius Caesar. I happily provided his scholarship because he had never studied before and was trying his best to preach. He’s moving right along in his first course (Predicación bíblica: Biblical Preaching). He lives in Mexicali Baja California,… Read More»
An Easter Message of Hope
April 12, 2019My oldest son, Matt, accepted an exciting new job in beautiful southern California, so I got a call to help him move. I also got the opportunity to explore the incredible Pacific Coast for most of a day as I walked around the coast line of the Laguna Beach area.
It was a gorgeous day and impossible to not marvel at God’s beauty and creativity.
2019 April Praise and Prayer
March 31, 2019PRAISE: When Norbert Martinez signed up to take our “How to Study the Bible” course, I took a second look: he lives in Germany and is an electrical engineer.
