Missions Conferences


We have been in some great Missions Conferences the past few weeks. In the photo we are wearing T-shirts from the Global Impact Conference at West Park Baptist Church in Knoxville. Teddy is looking a little bit worn out, and really we were all tired by the end of the week-long event, but it was an amazing week! The theme was Multiply: Disciple to Disciple. It was encouraging to share with the church family and the other missionaries who were there. The next stop was Palm Springs Drive Baptist Church in Altamonte Springs, FL where the theme was "o-BE-dient". It was cool to be with two brand new missionary families, and with a church that has cared for our family since Joy and I were just starting out. Now Teddy and I are in East Longmeadow, MA at First Baptist Church, yet another of the churches that has supported our ministry over the years. Thanks for your prayers as we travel.

Iglesia Bíblica Bautista de Manta 2014


In February the church we began planting in 2005 celebrated its 9th anniversary. God has done amazing things in this congregation! We're so proud of the leadership team, all of the membership, and the many people who attend and serve week-in and week-out because of the way they live as a vibrant, church family of growing disciples. Our basic goals of "knowing, growing, walking, and working" with Jesus Christ to glorify God are still the basic recipe for our church life and ministry. We are thankful for the hundreds of people who have partnered with us in prayer and support through the years, and the USA churches who are behind us as support partners. The best is yet to come!
