Beyond our Expectations

Our incredibly busy schedule and the lack of consistent Internet connectivity has simply not allowed enough time for me to sort through and post pictures of each day. But it´s just miraculous what God has accomplished in the last two days. It seems like whatever we have asked God for in prayer, He gives! Thursday […]

Health Day

Looking back over the events of the day, there was a definite theme of “health.” In the morning, we attended the final ceremony of a health conference where, along with other speakers, a doctor who used to work for NASA, spoke on the importance of preventive medicine versus simply treating disease.

Character Blitz

Up until about 10 years ago, chalk drawing was a dying art, but through the diligent efforts of Eternity Arts, this very effective means of communication […]
