I am now home from my missions trip. I had to have a nearly four hours drive after I landed!
Thank you all for your prayers.
I took twelve flights to travel to two countries at four different locations for ministry.
The people spiritually was a spectrum: it range from super biblical and in some parts the people attending that I am not even sure are Christians. In all things it’s a privilege to minister. There are discussions for future trip for me to minister ranging from teaching a course for Greek students for an underground seminary to teaching the Basic Gospel.
It is never one way the learning. I was moved to hear stories of believers who had their church bombed, or physically beaten and mutilated. These stories always move me.
Welcome home! May the seeds you planted and the fruit of your labor produce 30, 60, or even 100 times what you planted! In Jesus’s name, amen!
I pray for that! Thank you for your prayers
Glad you are back! Look forward to speaking to you soon and to a visit! You have been much in our hearts and prayers!
I am excited to meet you soon
Praise God for your faithful service and the souls you ministered to; may there be much fruit Lord! 🙏
Rest up and enjoy your family time brother, you deserve it. 🙏
Thanks for your encouragement sister!!

So sorry! Brother I mean!! I’m drowsy lol
No problem 😊
Glad you’ve returned and glad for your ministry overseas!
Thanks! I got back at 3 Am! How goes your day so far?
Ach. That’s late! Hope you adjust to your jet lag quickly! I have a few errands to run, most importantly getting my CPAP machine fixed.
Glad you are home again and that you had safe travels.
Thank you so so much for all your prayers, guest posts, comments and sharing of my posts on social media!
So glad you made it home safely! May your trip have been fruitful–and I feel certain it was.
I think it was fruitful! Even setbacks were fruitful as it brought clarity! Thanks Craig! Blessings to you
Praise God! 🙌🙌🙌 Thank you for your service unto the Lord!
You are welcome sister! Thank you for your prayers!
Welcome back brother.
TY! How are yoU?
Apparently, there was some complication with the surgery on Tuesday. I have fractures in the 4th and 5th metacarpal bones in my hand. He was able to put a plate on the 5th metacarpal. He was not able, at that time, to do anything with the 4th metacarpal fracture as it is up near my joint. He needs to assess whether to attempt another surgical intervention or not. Hence the urgency of a return assessment next week on Wednesday.
God is good and in a good mood. I am learning a lot through all of this.
Praise the Lord! Get some rest. Enjoy your family.
TY! How are you recovering?
Recovering well. I need wisdom, though concerning recovery and return to work so I don’t do something that makes things worse. Thank you for your concern.
Welcome home!
Thanks!!! I look forward to weekend reading blogs including yours
