Dear Friends, Pastors and Faithful Supporters,
Psalms 35:18a – I will praise thee among much people.
We are now entering our 6th month of deputation, and in that time we have been in 40 churches and have presented our [...]

The Blessings from above…
We are now in our 6 month of deputation and God truly has been blessing, but as you know blessings do not come without tests and trials.
We were recently given a trailer from a church in Arizona and they installed a whole new suspension just so we would not have a problem [...]

I believed by faith, God had our family step out into deputation with only a skeleton schedule five months ago, and with zero supporting churches at the time.

This month we were looking for a game to play with friends and chose Gestures, a game where you use gestures so people can guess words, when Drew said, “Wouldn’t it be fun to play Gestures after you inhale helium?” we laughed as one of our friends told Drew, “You do not speak, you gesture”!

Dear Friends, Pastors and Faithful Supporters,
Phil 4:10a: But I rejoice in the Lord greatly…
Last month was one of the busiest yet. Again we were in the frigid cold of the North and in [...]

Our theme for 2012 is “Follow On.” Hosea 6:3 “Then shall we know, IF we follow on to know the LORD…”
By God’s grace our people here in Wipim will understand more about their great Saviour as we “Follow on to know the LORD…” Our two church plants are also following this theme, and we anticipate some Real Growth as we “Follow On” together.

This month as we were traveling and looking for places to eat on the go, we leave the deciding factor up to the kids. “What would you all like to eat?” when from the back of the car one of the kids said, “No Asian food and no Chinese food!”

We left Ohio and traveled to Marion, North Carolina, where the kids got to visit one of their favorite preachers, Pastor Tony Shirley. We enjoyed going out to lunch with Pastor and Mrs. Shirley and be able to sit under his preaching for that Sunday where God ministered to us.

Dear Friends and Supporters,
Ezra 8:18a: And by the good hand of our God upon us.
As we have now started Full Time Deputation, we have been in two missions conferences and two scheduled meetings. I was able to preach and [...]

I arrived at my car for my 40 mile drive home (yes, I commute 40 miles) and turned on the radio to check traffic. Ahhh! Radio my communication to the world for the next 8 hours, 2 of which were spent driving that 40 miles home.

God has abundantly blessed us with people all around us who are extremely talented and gifted in the areas of helps. They have all been a great asset in the foundational phase and we thank God for putting them in our lives. God has used them to help build and edit our web site, make our video presentation, design our prayer cards and they have stood behind us in assisting us to get to this point.

Dear Friends and Family,
Educational Building – Wipim
The building project is now visible. For the past several months we have been cutting timber, mostly unseen by our church family, but now the foundation is done and the walls are beginning to go up this week. By God’s grace the building will be usable within the [...]

Dear Friends and Family,
“…take root downward, and bear fruit upward.” 2 Kings 19:30
Brethren, this year is going to be the year of “Real Growth”. I’m not being arrogant This is our theme for the year and our focus for 2011. Not just growth but “Real Growth”. Growth that focuses on the root and a root [...]
