“Never So Seen”
“It was never so seen in Israel” Matthew 9:33 Jesus commanded control of nature, touched the lepers, embraced the unclean, called the outcasts to know and serve Him, and offered forgiveness to sinners.

Technology and Your Family and the Uninvited Guest

New Mailing List
On January 27th, 2019, Bedford Bible Church met and voted to invite me to be their pastor. This was my final step away from my role as a missionary. For that reason, I am sending out a final prayer letter and deleting the associated mailing list. If you would like to continue hearing from us,…
