Home

Thank you again to everyone who followed my blog and prayed for my family while I was away the past two weeks. It was in answer to your prayers that God watched over Amy and the kids and kept them in great health during the entire time I was away. He also guided me and Marcia on our 7 plane flights and countless car rides in Burkina and Niger. We were encouraged, as usual, by our friends in those countries who are giving their lives to expand God's kingdom in increasingly difficult situations. Their love for the Lord and their faithfulness are quite a challenge to me. They live courageously and not in fear. They sacrifice and give when almost nothing is received in return. In one sense, they are not spiritual super heroes because they really are just like you and me. But in another sense they are heroes because of how they have decided to give their lives to the Lord and walk in step with the Spirit to be used by him no matter what he calls them to. I want to be like them. 

If you're ever interested in hearing more stories I would love to tell you some. Just ask.

Thank you again for your prayers and friendship.
