On October 24th at 8 am we heard a loud voice outside our front door, “The Jubilee school is on fire! Jubilee’s on fire!”  We looked outside and thick, black billowing smoke filled the sky. Jumping on a motorcycle, we followed the smoke towards the school and prayed that God would place His holy shield of angels around Jubilee.…

Two weeks ago we encountered a fire that took place about 300 feet from our home. Fortunately, no one was hurt. Unfortunately, it was a deliberate act of destruction, a targeted “burn out” of the Ati chieftain’s home. Some people are trying to discourage the Ati  tribe from returning to the land that once was theirs. Our first reaction was to find…

Hebrews 13: 3  tells us to “share the sorrow of those being mistreated, as though you feel their pain in your own bodies.” Wow, that’s really heavy. We’ve asked God to show us how to love the Ati. We’ve witnessed this indigenous group, worn and calloused,  isolated and mistreated.  At some of our feedings Filipino children comment to each…

Hi Friends! We are starting our third month here on Boracay.  It’s been a season of transition and wonder, of fatigue and blessing. Sometime in the near future we’ll feel like we’ve landed on this island, but perhaps, we haven’t had enough moments of a solace day to reflect on the dramatic new season of our lives. God has revealed His…

Our dear friends and family, The first day we arrived on Boracay we stopped to kneel on the sand.  A quiet prayer.  In awe of God’s grace to us. This transition has been beautiful but not without challenges.  Beautiful in the sense that we’ve already jumped in and are working alongside the Filipinos.  Building relationships with…

Our dear family and friends, We’re here at the ATL airport waiting to board our plane, and our feelings are mixed.  An excitement to finally be ready to do the work God has called us to do, yet there’s this heaviness in our hearts and an inability to take a deep breath.  We knew it would…

GATHERING COCONUTS “If I ride the wings of the morning, if I dwell by the farthest oceans, everywhere your hand will guide me and your strength will support me.” Psalm 139:9,10  It was early in the morning on the Island of Boracay, my favorite time to walk the beach. The locals are setting up their stores for the…

Dear Friends, We are so grateful that after a year of much prayer and support raising, our plane tickets are purchased and we are heading to the Philippines on April 9th! Looking forward to living among these beautiful children and bringing the light and hope of Jesus to them. We recently heard that ISIS claimed responsibility…

It’s good to connect with all of you and share what God is doing in our lives.  For the last thirty years we have served in churches in Arizona and Georgia, and now God has asked us to take a radical step. But would God call us to the other side of the world? We…
