Adventures and Encounters

“Never pity missionaries; envy them. They are where the real action is
– where life and death, sin and grace, Heaven and Hell converge.” – Robert C. Shannon

What you see in this picture is 5-year-old Keren basking in the Presence of Jesus. What you don’t see is her heritage. Her legacy is that of witchcraft. Her grandmother was a witch. That was passed on to her mother, who at 8 years old was literally ordained to be a witch by the ritual

Super Blue

Just getting a few things checked out on ‘Super Blue’ before I head back out into the jungle with it. So very thankful to have been Blessed with this truck by my parents and older brother, Jerry Jr, 16 years ago. It would be impossible to do everything on foot now, like we did in

HAPPY 81ST BIRTHDAY, DAD!

January 8, 1944 was the day the Lord chose to gift the world with this incredible man, my Dad, Jerry Paul Templet. Today is his 81st birthday. Many times I only get to ‘attend’ the family celebrations via video calls (which I am so thankful to have available to me!). But what I know is

Helping Others in Ministry

I was moved so deeply by the words of Evangelist Cordova that I want to share with you all. (He lives about 7 hours away from me.) God’s plan is so beautiful! I’m honored to be on the field in Ecuador. (English: “I want to share something of my heart with you in this poster,
