Coming to America

We are coming to America!

We will be there on August 12, we will be in-country for just four nights. So to our American friends and family, we will be in your country soon. So if you want to meet up with us, let us know. You will need to go to Guam to meet us.

Yes, the Territory of Guam is officially part of of the United States. And this little bit of America is just three hours away. We have two more short term teams coming, and then after that we will take some family vacation time in Guam. We are looking forward to getting away and having fun, and also for Chris and the kids, they need to get out of the country for visa purposes. We are told that being in Guam is like being in Florida or Southern California, it is a modern American place. It even has the world's biggest K-Mart. Chip, a brother and friend of mine asked, "Is that a reason to visit Guam, or is that a reason to stay away?"

So to all our American friends and family, we look forward to being in the same country as you, if just for a few nights.

Looking for the Blue Light Specials.

In a single day I (Dave) had meetings "in" the Philippines, Nepal, the Ukraine, Poland, Guyana, AND the United States, all while sitting at my desk. In February we were promoted as the Vice Presidents of Equipp...

Empowering the Next Generation

A big step in becoming a missionary with Go To Nations is the Timothy Internship Program . This is a 10 week boot camp that prepares you for full time missionary service in a foreign country. I call it a missionary factory. Chris and I were directors of this internship in the Philippines, Thailand, and the US. Recently I traveled to the Philippines to equip and empower Jeff Weimert  and Ryan Hull  to be the directors of the ...

Departing

Leaping off the Leadership Development post, I have some somewhat sad news. Chris and the kids will be leaving for the States this Saturday. They leave for Manila on Friday, and then fly onward to the States on Saturday, arriving in Baltimore around midnight (Maryland time) Saturday evening. Why is this sad? My responsibilities with the internship require me to say in Iloilo until the internship is completed. I will be returning to the States March 23. We have never been apart as a family for so long. Honestly I am very much not looking forward to being away from my family. I am not looking at this as a "break" from my kids so I can finally do some "real ministry." I am willing to fulfill my responsibilities here in Iloilo, especially as it involves training future full-time missionaries. However, I am not at all looking forward to being apart from my most favorite people in the world. The reason why Chris needs to leave for the States at this time is beca...
