Impact Is God’s Problem
Verse of the Week “I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow. So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow.” 1 Corinthians 3:6-7 I recently returned from ten days in the Dominican Republic, where I was flown…

WOW! You may know by now that our friends and missionaries, Byron, Shelley, Sue, and those who were serving with them from the States are safe. It was covered in a news report here. If you watch closely, you will see them at 29-31 seconds in. But that is only part of the story. Below…

Did God Leave Haiti?
Ro 12:15 (NIV2011) Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn. This blog I wrote for the church just last Friday, but I thought it wise to shoot it out here as well. Above is one of my favorite Haiti pictures, with my daughter Megan and one of the school kids. Can you…
