Thank You for sending Us!
We are returning from a month of speaking in WY, NE, and SD. It has been a fruitful time of teaching and fellowship. While we were at Frontier School of the Bible in WY, we had the privilege of enjoying an Austrian breakfast at the home of Harald and Helga. They had come to the U.S. several years ago in order to thank Christians for sending missionaries to their country, which resulted in their salvation. Their hearts were filled with gratitude. While here, they heard...

I was glad I was able to be there for the first 18 of those days before heading to the scheduled university speaking times. (My dad was emphatic about me not cancelling anything!) Anyhow, not having MJ right alongside me as my...
Read MoreGreat on the Frontier
We had a great week at Frontier School of the Bible. I taught Monday through Friday during their chapel time. Many of the students had questions, so there were plenty of discussions after chapel, at breaktime, and also during meals. Some of the students desired extra creation information – so the afternoon proved a good time to teach on other creation topics. The students and staff were very encouraged by the information and talks. We also had the pleasure of...
