Timothy Internship Program 2009

It is over. We have successfully completed our first Timothy Internship Program here in Iloilo. We had eight interns, five of them were students from Christ for the Nations Institute, a Bible school in Texas.

It was an incredible ten and a half weeks. We did prison ministry, medical ministry, children's ministry, and we even met a child who was raised from the dead. And we ate waaaaay to much pizza.

I am glad I can say this without a shred of doubt. This is my purpose. Equipping people, giving them the tools and the skills to help them succeed is my purpose. It was truly an honor and a privilege to have these incredible men and women of God here with us for these ten and a half weeks. These are lives who will make history, who will change nations.

The First Day of the Rest of Her Life

After seven nights in NICU, Gabriella is finally with us. Today is the first day of the rest of her life. To all who held us so tightly in prayer during this very difficult time, we want to express our extreme gratitude and appreciation. Thank you for standing with us in prayer, seeking God for health and healing for our newest child. Your prayers are powerful and effective, so don't stop. If you happen to be in the Maryland area, please feel free to contact us if you want to come see the newest missionary in the family.

There are times . . .

when I really miss being in the States. Right now in Maryland the weather is getting very cold, and there might be snow in the forecast. I miss the smells of winter and the cool crisp air. I also miss the first world comforts that I have taken for granted for so many years. In that regard, I miss how most first world countries are usually much cleaner. I also miss living and working in a temperature controlled environment, where I am hardly every sticky with sweat or humidity. Also the Filipino way of doing things is different--not necessarily better or worse, just different. I guess I will go through this all throughout my missionary career. While Iloilo is my home, I still feel like a foreigner. While I love my life here, I am still a citizen of two worlds, calling two VERY different places home.
