He still heals the blind

“What gauge measures miracles?” -Conor Oberst I have read about miracles. There are quite a number of them recorded in the Bible and a large number documented in countless other ways. I have read about them, scratched my head, and moved on. You see they just do not fit into my western, rational mind-set. Turns […]

Fully Funded & On Fire For Jesus!

Katie stood in front of me, looking at the young lady about 10 yards in front of her. “Daddy, I’m nervous” She said. “I’ll be right here” is all I said and she was off. I watched as she asked the young lady if she could make use of the $10 phone card we’d prayerfully […]

exile

While the western church is struggling to know how to empower the women within her ranks the culture around her is throwing its arms open wide and celebrating their liberation. Meanwhile, half way around the world, as a huge bureaucratic government disenfranchises the common man, the underground church is setting them free at an alarming […]

Freedom!!

I met a homeless man named Joseph on a busy street corner in downtown Kailua Kona. His sign said “Ask me about God”. When I did he told me how we were all god. He said he had an internal combustion engine that produced life. He tried to babble on but I confronted him. Looking […]

Lava Tubes

This picture is of William visiting a lava tube on his school field trip. Lava tubes are long conduits that carry molten rock away from an eruption. They often exist far beneath the surface. There is a current in the world, running beneath the surface, where the Gospel is being taken to places you wouldn’t […]

A walk on the weekend

Our family is excited about what we are embarking on! We’d like to thank everyone who has prayed, crafted, encouraged and […]

The Fields Need Workers

I just left a parent-teachers conference with Will & Katie’s teachers and the other parents. Our children are settling in and they are in for a wonderful quarter! Again, the international flavor of this campus and its deep spiritual roots provide fertile soil in which to plant their young minds and hearts. We met the […]
