Her Name is Angel, an Update, From Chris.

A few weeks ago I wrote a post about a little girl that I had met named Angel. At the end of that post I wrote that I will some day see her laughing and dancing. For Angel the day for dancing and laughing has come.

Sadly the day for me to see her dancing and smiling will not come for a while. On July 12, Angel went to be with the Lord.

It was a hard day, but a meaningful one because I was able to spend the entire day with Angel's older sister and brother, Geraldine and Gerald. A few other missionaries and I were able to be with them, sit with them, cry with them on this difficult day. We have built a relationship with this family that I believe is eternal and it is worth all the tears.

Truly- "Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted."

In February we were promoted as the Vice Presidents of Equipp...

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 ...
