And I still love you and your children more than you can ever imagine. You are Mine. How could IContinue reading “One Way Through This”

Strength to Overcome

In what ways have you felt like a failure lately? Like you’ve missed the mark? Or don’t measure up? Is there an area of your life where you keep messing up, even when you know what you should be doing and actually want to do what is right? “I have the desire to do whatContinue reading “Strength to Overcome”

Peace in the Midst of Danger

As missionaries raising our children in one of the most dangerous countries in the world, we are often asked, “Aren’t you afraid?” At first, yes; very, in fact. But then, through heavy trials and spiritual warfare, the Lord cast out fear with His perfect love. 1 John 4:18. Not only did He carry us throughContinue reading “Peace in the Midst of Danger”

Deadly Landslides in Brazil

Thousands of people from the favelas (hillside shacks) in Pernambuco, Brazil, have been displaced; about 100 have died, and at least 14 are still missing after landslides Friday.

Fires in Texas

 At least 175 fires in the past week have burned nearly 95,000 acres across the state of Texas. Lord, please stop the fires. Dowse the land with rain today and bring relief. Be a Shield around every firefighter and give them wisdom to know how to contain the fires. Comfort families who have lost homesContinue reading “Fires in Texas”

Do Not Fear

I awoke from a dream where a little girl worriedly tugged on her mother’s skirt, saying “Mommy, Mommy! I don’t want to go bye-bye.” Her face still haunts me as I write this. What devastation. So many mothers and children in Ukraine have been injured and killed, especially after Russia bombed a maternity and children’sContinue reading “Do Not Fear”

The Battle for Life

We’ve been praying for Ukraine and the world, but is your family or someone you know also facing a battle of their own at this time? We have a real enemy (Ephesians 6:12, 1 Peter 5:8) who operates a lot like the one Ukraine is facing now. Lies, justifying sin, stepping over boundaries, wearing usContinue reading “The Battle for Life”
