We want to wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! This year we are thankful to be back in the Philippines. We felt blessed to be at North Cebu Baptist Church and celebrate this special season at home.  We certainly miss our family and friends (that is something that will never go away) but there is such joy in knowing that you are in the place God wants you.  2017 was a year full of activity and change. At times it was overwhelming but throughout the year, God kept bringing us to this simple truth: He is everything we need and more. So this holiday season I found myself thanking God for Who He Is and what He has done! I am excited (and terrified) about what 2018 has to bring but no matter what, I know God is with me…and that is more than enough.

We’re Back!

We’re back in Cebu! We want to thank everyone who prayed for us as we made the long trek home. Elizabeth was a trooper and we’re extremely thankful that Philip didn’t make a surprise appearance on the plane! :)  Please continue to pray for us as we’re still feeling the effects of jet lag. The kids were up bright and early this morning around 3:30…hopefully that will go away soon! :)  The greatest feeling though is being home! It is so good to be back in Cebu; we can’t wait to jump back in the ministry and work with God’s people!

8 Years!

So I made a mistake! :) I’ve been telling churches that Elizabeth and I were celebrating our 9th anniversary but it’s actually our 8th. I told Elizabeth that it felt like 9 and that was a good thing! Somehow, I was still in trouble. But looking back at the years, one word comes to mind: Thankful. I am so thankful for the wife God has given me. I am thankful for the years we’ve had together. I’m thankful for the haven our home has become. Are there difficult times? Absolutely. Are there times I get in trouble? YES! Like when I forget how many years we’ve been married. :) But I love what God has given us and I pray for many many more moments and years together!

As Faith Increases!

Again, we have watched God increase the faith of His people! It was that time of year again…missions month! This year North Cebu Baptist Church needed to come together to support their missionaries like never before-with no American help!  Pastor Elbern and I were praying for about Ph25,000. That would cover all the missionaries they already support and give them a little room to increase their giving. But when the time came, God did a miracle! The people raised Ph32,000 for missions!  Our hearts rejoice to see God continue to increase the faith of His people!
