The Hands of the Lord

Hello family and friends,

But after five years, some of the same supporters as well as new are taking part in the Lord’s work in Cris Ann’s and my work in the Philippines.[...]

Unity

I would really like this blog to bring some unity into what the Lord is doing here and the directions He is moving in. This has been a year defined by change and changes that are all gifts of God.[...]
