Do you ever feel like you can only see as far ahead as the day you are living in even though you know there is so much more to do than can be accomplished in many days? We have been feeling that way as we juggle home, school, church, work, and training responsibilities. I am [...]
We had a visit from an inspector that works for the aviation administration here in Nicaragua. It’s been a struggle to get traction with permission to fly the AWA plane here in Nicaragua. Some changes had taken place since the last time permission to fly had been sought. Mainly, renewal of this permission needs to [...]

We led the worship experience from 9:30 am until after 12 [...]
I’m sitting here in the mission truck in front of a hospital in a little town called Waspan, Nicaragua. I took a lady and two girls to see the doctor. We’re about 35 minutes from the AWA base. It’s nice to have the faithful Hilux pickup for these short trips. It has served the base [...]
It is always exciting to see people make decisions for Christ. To see them baptized is such a happy moment! But when the work of the evangelist is done, when the dust settles, then the hard work begins. Nurturing the newly-baptized can be tireless, and sometimes disappointing if they are the seeds that took root [...]
