This weekend we travel to Williamsburg Virginia to again be an advocate for the Bibleless people of the world. We’ll be spending time with our partners at King of Glory church, trying to build vision and stir new people to become involved with us for the sake of those still waiting to receive the Good News in a language they can really comprehend.

While Ruth and I are intimately involved with Bible translation work, we don’t believe that the role of advocate “belongs” to us. We want to share that honor with everyone on our team. Each of us can speak out on behalf of those still waiting. Get involved. Go. Pray. Financially support your favorite missionary involved in Bible translation.

Busy, busy, busy.  But fun, fun, fun!

Early February was busy planning and celebrating my mother’s 80th birthday. It was a wonderful event – lots of family and friends. My sister from Montana even flew down – leaving beautiful Montana for flat Florida for a week. (That is hardship in her book!)

Two weeks later I was “officiating” at my brother’s “wedding”. Why the quotes? Well, I am not licensed to marry. And they were actually married about eight months ago. But his wife’s parents only now were able to travel from Russia to America. So while the wedding was last summer, the re-enactment of the vows and reception was just last weekend.

Again, it was a fun event. A healthy family is a true gift, isn’t it?
