It’s so good to be back in the Chicago area with my fellow Bulls, Blackhawks, and Cubs fans (the Sox are purposely not included!). I’ve also enjoyed reconnecting with friends from the past. I’m at Calvary Baptist Church, pastored by Rick Weesner, and I’ve been able to fellowship with Jenni (Muth) Green, who went to [...]

Time Flies

I just realized it’s been almost a month since I posted something on my blog. Here I thought it was only a couple of weeks ago. Much has happened since my last update. I was able to finish well the linguistics courses I was taking at SIL-UND (I hope to share more of what I [...]
Learning More About Numbers
Posted in ministry, translation, Uncategorized, tagged statistics, Wycliffe on June 30, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
For those of you who read my previous post about the statistics that present the needs of Bible translation, you will want to read it again, because I’ve had to revise some of the things that I said, based on what I’ve learned recently. Sorry for presenting the information incorrectly last week. I really thought [...]
Discouraging and Encouraging News
Posted in ministry, Uncategorized, tagged Haiti, MSU on April 9, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I just found out recently that my trip to Haiti has been cancelled. Dr. Bernard is already down there, and he said certain developments in the country have kept people from being able to travel. This trip was primarily to meet with people. So if we can’t meet with them, then there’s no use going. [...]

Please check my “praise/prayer” page for updates. If you are linguistically inclined, you might want to check out my new post on the “Translator’s Page” where I discuss classifying the world’s languages. Even if you’re not linguistically inclined, you will gain an appreciation for how complex God made the world’s languages at the Tower of Babel [...]
A Winter’s Welcome
Posted in deputation, Uncategorized, tagged deputation on February 19, 2008 | 1 Comment »
This is my first winter back in the cold North after being away for basically 17 years, and I would say that I have been given a cold welcome back. Grand Rapids has been particularly “welcoming” because of the lake-effect snow. I hardly ever get into my car without having to clean the snow off [...]
A Taste of Linguistics
Posted in linguistics, pictures, Uncategorized, tagged linguistics, morphology, phonetics, pictures, syntax on February 1, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I’ve been wanting to give you (well, at least the interested ones) a taste of the linguistics courses that I’m taking. I could have put this post in my “Translator’s Page,” but I decided to go ahead and put it here. Linguistics is the science of language. Consequently, it uses very scientific terms to describe [...]
Unplanned Meeting
Posted in deputation, Uncategorized, tagged deputation on November 22, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
I forgot to mention in my last post (re: visiting churches in eastern MI) that the Lord did a wonderful thing for me in a very unplanned way. I was driving toward eastern MI on the Saturday evening before the week of appointments when I got a call from my pastor here in Grand Rapids. He [...]
