(Note: The title of this post was originally “The Last $100″, but I just realized that Singaporean dollars are less in value than US dollars. Plus, I wasn’t doing some other calculations correctly. So I need slightly more than I thought earlier!) I’m down to the last $100/month to raise for my missionary support. I [...]

Rhythm of Routine
Posted in deputation, ministry, translation, tagged Danville, Faith Baptist Church, Songhai on January 13, 2012 | 1 Comment »
The rhythm of routine has been resonating in my spirit. I’ve been able to enjoy routine since January 1 and will get another week’s dose of it next week before I embark on my trip for Asia. Yesterday when the cold rain was falling, I rejoiced in the privilege I had to return to a [...]

My meetings in Minnesota have gotten off to a good start. Pastor Groschel and the believers at Prior Lake Baptist Church in Prior Lake, MN, received me well last Wednesday. Though the group was fairly small (20-30), they were all attentive and inquisitive. We had a great time of fellowship. I also enjoyed extending my [...]

Faith Baptist Church, pastored by Tim Collard, in Pekin, IL, voted last week to take me on for support, bringing my support level up to 75%! I look forward to many years of partnership with this solid church. The people encouraged me greatly when I was there for a second visit on March 27, evidencing [...]
Aren’t you already full-time?

Sometimes I wonder about the answer to this question. Others also seem to wonder–a lady at my sending church forgot to include me among the missionaries on deputation, because she thought I was already finished. She knew that I was already quite active in the ministry, so she assumed I had finished deputation. But, o [...]
Decreasing Michigan Population
Posted in deputation, ministry, tagged Faith Baptist Church on March 25, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
The 2010 census figures show that Michigan is the only state that has experienced a decrease in population over the past 10 years. Though I gained residence in 2007 to counter that decrease (by 1!), I’m hardly ever here to maintain my presence in the state. I arrived on Sunday evening and will leave tomorrow [...]
Illinois

I’ve been enjoying my time in northern Illinois, but something unexpected took place in my heart when I was driving into the area a week and a half ago. Normally, I’m always so thankful to be back in “my home area,” after living here for 14 years (1984-1998). In 2007 when I first returned back [...]
Losses and Gain

A number of posts ago I announced that both of my sisters were pregnant and were due around the turn of the new year. Well, my middle sister Lori realized on Thursday morning that it was already time to take the trip to the hospital, though it was over 5 weeks early. Since a recent [...]
