So much has happened in these last two weeks!  God has amazed me time and time again, orchestrating each day of the week so that he would get all the glory.  I’ll do my best to point out some of the highlights.  On Sunday, March 13th, Mt. Stewart Baptist Church had a special Sunday Service called “Taxi Driver Sunday”, during which they focused specifically on local taxi drivers.  Many of them are invited each week but that particular Sunday they ...

We’ve officially entered the month of March and my perception of the length of my stay has greatly changed. During my first week in January, eleven weeks seemed like a long time; but as March begins, I realize that eleven weeks is just long enough to “scratch the surface.” I almost feel as if my relationships here have just started and yet it is nearly time to return home. One of the joys, though, that I have been able ...

It has been a busy week, to say the least, but it has been a good week. As I mentioned last week, I have had a number of opportunities to share God’s Word and encourage believers at Fairview Baptist Bible College and Mt. Stewart Baptist Church this week. This past Sunday was Youth Sunday at Mt. Stewart meaning the youth group was in charge of the singing and the message. “Representing” the youth, I spoke on how the salvation of ...

Slowly but surely Pastor Llewellyn and I have returned to what you might call our “weekly” routine, though no two weeks have looked exactly the same.  Early in the week he was still battling headaches and stomach aches but, praise the Lord, he has been well enough to spend the majority of the week visiting and praying with various people in the community.  I know that being down with the chicken pox weighed heavily on him because there are so ...

I’m sorry for letting two weeks slip by without sending any more updates! I had ready access to the internet all weekend but I think that I was too shocked by that fact to make much sensible use of it. I’m going to attempt to sum up the last two weeks in this one update; so, here we go. When I talk about “last week”, I’m talking about the last week in January. When I talk about “this week”, I’m ...

I can hardly believe that another week has already come and gone but I am thanking the Lord for all that he has done in this last week. He has provided me with the strength, energy, and the desire to pour myself into each and every day. One specific source of energy and encouragement has been a small team from Michigan, here to help with the construction of the girls’ dorm. I met them when I first ...

Dear Indiana, It sounds like I got out just in time. I hear we are having a snowy beginning to the year! While I can’t honestly say I’m missing the snow, know that I am definitely missing all of you. As I thought about the trip last week, I was nervous, excited, and apprehensive all at the same time. BUT, I also knew that, from the trip’s very conception, every part of it had been bathed in prayer. ...
