Don't think that God can't use you. Because if He can use me, He can use anyone!
How We Became Missionaries
Mileage Miracle
God doesn't need to give you more gas money to get there, He can just increase your gas mileage!
Never Talk To Satan
Talking to Satan is a bad idea, challenging him is worse. Don't be a knucklehead like me.
The Miracle Pond Story
After our first child was born, we moved to Eden Prairie, Minnesota. One of the reasons we picked that location for our house was the pond that bordered our property in the back. The pond was about one and a half acres. We liked being on the water in the summer, and it made a …
The Kid With Long Hair
The Mexico mission trips were always a blessing, and an adventure. We were always careful to send mission trip information to the churches prior to all trips.

The money was sent to a Christian organization that collected the money for the month, and deposited it into our account on the first …

The First Two Summers $500
This particular story occurred early in my ministry – because God wanted to teach me about Him, money, and needs. My family and I went on our first mission trip in May of 1996. God changed our lives that week. I came back to work on Monday following that trip, gave my two-week notice, left …
