As I write to you, I am here in Romania. I am so thankful that my adult kids help my wife while I'm away. I am so blessed to have my family. Penny, I love you.

This was my second trip to Haiti in 2015. The first was to the Southern part where I did training for 33 pastors with Mission Starfish. This trip was in November to Northern Haiti under the direction of Project Hope (Springfield, Missouri).

I accompanied a team from Westwind Church (Waukee, Iowa), to "Mission Starfish", Gonaives, Haiti. The Team’s primary role was to minister to the Haitian people, engaging in relationships while working on building projects inside the mission itself and the surrounding community.

My role was to teach, coach, and encourage the Haitian pastors.

Hello, my friends! I hope this letter finds you well. Penny and I are feeling very blessed these days enjoying our kids, grandkids, and the incredible privilege of serving our Lord. Along with developing my ministry here of discipling men, coaching pastors, and churches, I spent the last half of January teaching with my friend Mark Albright at the International Bible College of Zambia.

What an ADVENTURE! My ministry continues to develop in unexpected yet exciting ways as I spent the last two and a half weeks of November in the Philippines, teaching at The Word of Life Bible Institute.

I was put in contact with the Academic Dean of the Institute via the recommendation from my lifelong friend Terry Alexander. For that, I am so grateful as I found it a great blessing teaching and spending time with the students and staff.
