Adventures and Encounters

“Never pity missionaries; envy them. They are where the real action is

Color Blind

I love this photo! The beautiful Waorani children put their hands together with mine. Several kept saying how white I was! 😀 Some even said they’d never seen a white person before! But it didn’t matter the color of our skin. The love of Jesus went beyond that, because it has no boundaries and no preferences. It

My Brother

When the Lord called me to Ecuador many years ago, I was more than willing to go. I wasn’t sure exactly all the details of God’s plan, so I just started preparing myself to be the missionary He had called me to be. As those years of preparation went by, the Lord sent me on

Jungle Life

Jungle life. With people that I love. Telling them about the One I love the most! ❤️🙌 It don’t get any better than this! (In this photo beautiful Pirish and Aja; yes, she’s wearing a sloth!)

A Love Undeserved

After an emotional meeting of giving counsel and guidance in the Lord to this precious lady, we embraced and she said to me some of the most beautiful words I’ve ever been told as a Missionary. She hugged me with tears running down her cheeks,  and she said, “Thank you for giving us a love
