This fall, we’re looking forward to returning to the United States on furlough. One of the things we value most about this time is the opportunity to reconnect personally with family, friends, and ministry partners who have faithfully stood with us in the work. Ministry often stretches across miles, but furlough gives us a chance to sit down face-to-face, strengthen those relationships, and be reminded again of how the Lord uses His people together in the work of the Gospel.

We also see this as a great opportunity to encourage churches in their own part of the Great Commission. Our desire is not simply to talk about ministry abroad, but to challenge and strengthen believers to be faithful witnesses and disciple-makers right where God has placed them. We would appreciate your prayers as we begin making plans for the months ahead. Feel free to ask about our schedule and when we’ll be in your area!

God measures the health of His church differently than we often do. It’s easy to look at a full building and assume it must be a healthy church. Numbers and attendance can be a blessing, but they do not automatically mean spiritual maturity. God’s measure is deeper. He is looking for lives that are being transformed, for disciples who not only profess faith but consistently walk with Him in their everyday lives…

Greetings from the city of Chipata! We’re excited to share how God is working through Hope Bible Baptist Church as we step into a new year filled with opportunities to grow, serve, and reach our community with the Gospel. 

Discipleship has always been the heartbeat of our ministry, and God is doing something truly special here. Over the years, we’ve seen how one-on-one discipleship creates life-changing relationships, where a believer walks alongside another, opening God’s Word together and growing in faith. It’s personal. It’s intentional. And it’s transformative.
