Bienvenido!

After a full day of travel, I was grateful to be in Mexico! Robert and I are here with a mission team from IBLP, who will be encouraging pastors who are attending a major conference in Mexico City. We were all hungry when we arrived, but we couldn’t find a place to eat because it […]

What to do for it’s 25th Birthday?

For the past years we have always looked forward to a fall Apple Butter Festival. In years past we have participate in “Greased pig contest” and other little activities. But this year sadly we were all too old to join in. What could we do this year that would make this 25th anniversary special. A […]

This Week’s Family Night is …

Pic of the Month: October ’09

Clouds of Morning It was an opportunity not to be missed! During the IBLP Staff Retreat, a young man flew up to the Northwoods with a little four-seater aircraft to spend the weekend with the team. When it was announced that he was more than willing to give rides free of charge on the […]

“It is now becoming clear that everything can – and probably did – come from nothing.” – Physicist at Ashton University, England “Even if we don’t have a precise idea of exactly what took place at the beginning, we can at least see that the origin of the universe from nothing need not be unlawful […]
