Thirty Five Years!!!


July, 1978, Our First Prayer Card
On January 1, 2014 we complete 35 years of full-time missionary service!!

Over the past 35 years, God has done “exceedingly, abundantly beyond all we can ask or think.”  We’ve had the joy of ministering to the very rich in their mansions and to the very poor—we actually visited one family in a cave!  We’ve seen God do miracles of physical and spiritual healing, lives transformed, cultures impacted, many new Christ-followers and people raised up to go far beyond us in spreading the Good News of the Gospel that we celebrate this time of year!  
December 2013, Colorado
Sometimes we’ve been on the front lines of the battle ourselves.  Other times we facilitated operations, prayed, discipled, trained and empowered!  At all times, God has been faithful!  We’ve taught and shared with large crowds and seen Billy Graham Crusade-like responses, we also sat silently with individuals and wept.

This past year has been no different.  We’ve followed where God has led and once again, been astonished at the privilege of being His instruments!

Hello, sweet Shelly! How wonderful to find your blog here. ((hugs)) You have been in my prayers for years. How are your Mom and Dad?

Also, my husband had radical cancer surgery last December. This, along with losing my beloved Dad, made for a very difficult year.

But God is good. You two are in my prayers always.
