What a Journey…

Well, after awhile of not adding anything to this site since before we left in the Summer of 2011 to begin our itineration process, we’re back. We’ve been busy beyond busy and yet not in the way you’d think.

God has a way of doing things that upsets our ebbs and flows, eh? We’ve had a tough time this past while, yet it’s been wonderful. Philosophy would call it, “sublime.”

Since February, we’ve been the senior pastors in a small, Upstate New York Assembly of God church and it’s unlike anything we’ve done before. “Tough” doesn’t quite seem to cover it, yet how we got here is the point. We were willing to do what God directed. He wanted Filipinos to take over the work He started through us and didn’t want us getting too attached to the work, as it seems. It was a hard, hard time this past winter as we struggled with hearing His voice clearly.

There’s a lot to say about it all and maybe I’ll talk about it on my personal log someday, but for now, let it be known that although we are in the States, we are continuing to minister and support in a new way, the work God continues by His Grace in Cebu among the Deaf.

A newsletter has just been published and after taking a look at the pictures, you can e-mail us for a PDF copy of it. Just visit the “Contact” above for the link. You can join us on the church’s social network very soon, as we’re getting everything online. Stay tuned. Truly, we’ll be updating at least once-a-week and we’ll put the links up as soon as we get them.

Deaf Camp II – Thank you Lord – Where’s the pillow!?

12 April 2011

“Confounding the Wise & Mighty” themed Deaf Camp II is now in the history books.

The food prepared by Carmen and Romy was fantastic… the organization by Mindy was superb… the support provided by Rohda and Joseph as well as Reah and Mildred was amazing. Everyone working together to minister in Christ to the Deaf was something to see.

We’ll post pictures and provide a recap of the stories that happened at camp. BOY ARE WE TIRED! Pardon us while we rest a bit and continue getting packed up to leave in two weeks. We plan to have pictures uploaded and some words about camp by Wednesday.

Confounding the Wise & Mighty…

7 April 2011

Deaf Summer Camp begins on Saturday morning.

The theme is from I Corinthians 1:27-29, “Confounding the Wise & Mighty.” We’ve been preparing in earnest this past week while getting everything ready and packed and sorted out for furlough. It’s been an interesting month so far.

We are looking forward to what the Lord will do among the deaf this weekend and thank Him. We also thank you for your prayers.

We’ll post pictures from the camp here next week.
