At Boston Baptist College



Both Joy and I graduated from Boston Baptist College, then called Baptist Bible College East, in 1983. Currently it is my privilege to serve as a trustee of the college, and I was able to attend meetings in Boston prior to this year's graduation. The ceremony is held at historic Faneuil Hall in the center of the city. Boston Baptist College is a unique institution, in a unique place, with a unique mission. I was impressed with the students' commitment to Christian ministry and to intense study of the Bible. The relationship between students, faculty, and administration is close and spiritual. Now I'm back in Ecuador and ready to focus on our ministry here, but I will be also be serving on behalf of my school with a new appreciation.

Prayer Report May 2016


These Moms attended the Mother's Day service at Iglesia Bíblica Bautista de Manta. We were meeting on the porch, so the group photo was taken in the street. We are having damaged walls removed from the auditorium building and new walls are going up!

You can download and read our May 2016 prayer report:

There is a photo page that accompanies the prayer report:

Serving Those in Need


Our church has been very active since the earthquake in getting food, water, clothing, and other needs to those who are suffering in Manta. We are cooperating with local and international missions organizations to put God's love in action around us. Please help with your prayers and with generous donations as God provides you with funds and directs your heart. Thank you!

Post-earthquake Praise and Prayer Service


Since our church building was damaged in the earthquake, we met outside on the front porch of the church with some extra improvised shade. The emphasis was praise and prayer. A group of well over 120 people participated in a time of worship that moved our hearts. Service is our church DNA so we are already mobilized to provide assistance and care to those around us who need it. So far we learned that 15 church families have been forced to abandon their homes because they are totally or partially destroyed and deemed unsafe. Pray for those who are in need and for those who serve. Remember that you can help by donating through Baptist Bible Fellowship International either online or by mail (PO Box 191 Springfield, MO 65801 or bbfimissions.com). Contact us if you need more information.
