Adventures and Encounters

“Never pity missionaries; envy them. They are where the real action is
– where life and death, sin and grace, Heaven and Hell converge.” – Robert C. Shannon

Nothing more Beautiful

There is nothing more beautiful to me than children praying and crying in the presence of the Lord. Tonight’s service at Puyo was just that! Esmeralda is only 6, and her family does not come to church, but every chance she gets, she is here and she always weeps in His presence. Mayde is 10.

Willing to Leave it all Behind

At church in Talin today, the message the Lord gave me to preach was about brothers who, when Jesus passed by and called them, left everything to go and follow Him. The question is: How many are willing to give it all up, to leave behind everything, if so be necessary, to follow the Lord?

The Harvest is Plenty!

Today we worked in the garden at our Puyupungo church. I love getting my hands dirty and searching for beautiful yucca that have grown underneath the ground.  Our sugar cane are enormous (many about 11 feet tall), our banana trees are gigantic (about 20-25 feet tall, but they take about 9 months to produce one
While picking up folks for church at Talin on Saturday, I saw a huge brown tarantula crawling on the ground outside. (They are common and we have seen many, especially in Talin, but still, it’s a tarantula! So each time we see one, we still get all excited, and yell “Tarantula”!:-) But this time, I

Of such is the Kingdom of Heaven

After a long day and church in the afternoon at Puyupungo, I arrived to my home tonight, very tired and ready to relax. But as soon as I sat down, I heard 3 sweet voices calling out my name at my door, “Hermana Susana”. It was 8PM at night, and they had walked here (30

Jesus gave power unto His disciples to go and preach and heal the sick and cast out devils. He has given us that same power, the power of the Holy Ghost! And we are using that power for His glory! Hallelujah!! Tonight, in our Puyo service, we prayed in the power of the Holy Ghost

The Wages of Sin is Death

What a great message Charles preached at Talin yesterday, Romans 6:23, “The wages of sin is death….” He taught the people to realize that even the smallest sin could be hindering their walk with God, and slowly bring them to a spiritual death, and eventually an eternity in Hell, a lake of fire. What a

They that have not Heard

This past Tuesday, I had to do a few tasks around the church yard, so I asked Jenny to teach the children at our Yantana church. As I worked outside, I could hear the children singing, repeating Scriptures they had learned and listening to the Bible lesson Jenny was teaching. My heart couldn’t help but

The Thief Cometh Not But…

We were up until midnight last night praying and casting devils out of a young woman. Hundreds came out of her. We praise Jesus for what He’s doing here!! If you have never seen devils being cast out before, it’s heartbreaking the torment that the devil puts them through, how their bodies are literally twisted
