What is it that Christ has done?
God is perfect and holy. Adam willfully sinned against God and that sin separated man from God. All from Adam’s line have a sin nature which the flesh has no ability to undo. Christ came into the world to save for Himself a chosen people, the elect. God had a plan from before the foundation … Continue reading What is it that Christ has done?
2023 Recap for the Readers
Every year I write up a brief recap to send to those who give in support of the ministry labors of #letmeintroduceyou. As it is landing on a receipt, it always needs to be fit to one page which is already including other details. That feels quite prohibitive!

Helping that didn’t help.

More Sweet Memories!
Here is another window into the corner of the world we call home. We are thankful for the time in the USA: cool weather, old friends and dear family, familiar foods, good visits with local congregations, and many daily conveniences…but the excitement of getting back to our labors in Africa is growing as the time … Continue reading More Sweet Memories!

12 Miles—One Way—for Bible Study? Any Takers? Brother Richard is All In.
Richard rides his bicycle faithfully, Monday by Monday, about 12 miles one way, to come to our men’s Bible Study.
