The Power of Music

Narrow and Few

Much more serious is the general agnostic atmosphere pervading everything and deadening all convictions, those as to sin and truth included. . . .

Better is the Ending . . .

It happens that on his way through a chapter of Ecclesiastes, James is engrafting the famous verse: “Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof …” (Ecclesiastes 7:8a). Here in Korea, the past two months have been very profitable and all of us on the team appreciate your prayers very much. A […]

The Christiansens come to visit!

We are so grateful for the important place Donald has in our family, for his heart for missions and for his example of walking by faith. God is doing great things through you, […]

Remember Foreign Missionaries

Being in Korea on Memorial Day is a little different than being in the States. Though it is not a recognized holiday here, Donald and I took the opportunity to recognize with honor a special group of great men and women from the past during a recent fieldtrip to Yanghwajin Foreign Missionary Cemetery in Seoul.
