Baptism
On November 11th, (11/11/11) Evan had the honor of baptizing two of the boys that he and April had been ministering to throughout the year. For the previous few weeks Evan and April had been talking to Pablo (pictured) and Gus (not pictured) about the reasons for baptism and had been asking the boys to pray to [...]
15,000 Gallons!!
Mission Encounters runs a drinking water program from their clinic. On most days if you walk along the main road you can see Horman dispensing water from the desalination water purifier on the front porch of the clinic. On an average week, Horman dispenses 250 gallons of water, on hot summer weeks, that number can [...]
Life as a teenager
April and I have spend a lot of our time on the island ministering to a group of boys. Four of them were able to visit our new place last night. They rode their bikes 3 hours to get there. (Our truck is in the shop, they wanted to see us so bad and got [...]
Ava's Party and Whites Eat First
So today was Ava’s birthday party. We had previously invited our island boy friends to come. Since they live on the other side of the island, I told them that I would pick them up. I had no idea how many would come, one boy called and asked if he could bring a friend. On [...]

Back to Helene

There and Back Again
Family Picture, Mazomanie, WI Here on Helene, there’s a song very popular with the church-going islanders with the chorus: “God is good”. It’s catchy and upbeat, but when I sing it I always feel like the word “good” falls so short of describing Him! After all, in just one word, how can we? Recently I [...]

Recently, I met with a couple ladies from my bible study group at a coffee shop to talk about fundraising. While waiting for them to arrive, I noticed a gentleman setting his bible down on the table next to me, so I asked him if he was having a bible study. I know, I violated [...]
