“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

A Family in ‘Need’

A family in ‘need’ has a very different meaning in third world countries. I have written about it before, but will share it again. I cannot count the times I have delivered a bag of rice to a family in their home and they literally had nothing else to eat. Here, it’s never a case

Looks Who Is Here!!

After many delays and even some ‘doubts’, look who made it here, my brother, Charles! He was the one that was brave enough and bold enough to start this work with me almost 19 years ago. He is here for a couple of weeks to provide me some much needed help. From playing the drums,
