We are off and running as we enter what is already a tiring week. Sunday night Rev. Evan Drake, president of our mission, began a three-night series of meetings about the biblical family. Families are just as dysfunctional here as they are in the U. S. Each night’s meetings were very well attended and he [...]

Tomorrow is the big day! Well, it’s another big day, anyway. We have lots of them here. We’re getting ready for a visit from our founding president of Bible Basics International, Dr. Eugene Priddy; our current president, Rev. Evan Drake; the vice president of International Ministries, Rev. Herman Meister; and BBI’s Spanish director, Rev. Samuel [...]

No, I’m not going to school, unless you count the school of hard knocks. “Phd” stands for “Piled higher and deeper.” That’s what it feels like so far this week. As you probably know, if you’ve been keeping up with our blog, we got the computer changes made for the updated FM broadcast computer. That [...]

In the early years of modern missions, the philosophy seemed to be that, when entering a new mission field, the first task was to westernize the local population before focusing on sharing the actual Gospel. Thankfully, we have grown a little wiser over the years in that regard. But the loss of heritage in any [...]

This week, as Peter and I sat down to record the HRGS Update, we wondered what we would talk about. We felt like last week was such an uneventful week that we would not have much in the way of news for our listeners. Having been slowed down with some kind of bug that showed [...]

We had a mostly glorious week this past week with one major exception. You’ll remember Travis and Emily Mitten who had to return to the U.S. because of Emily’s incredibly difficult pregnancy. We learned last Wednesday that they lost the baby. She is still carrying it and and we are all praying that her body [...]

Yes, indeed, we are now on the air all day in English and all day in Spanish. The liftoff was this morning and went off without a hitch. We go on the air at 5:00 AM, so Peter and I both got there a little ahead of time to move the AM feed to the [...]

There’s never a dull moment around here – if you haven’t already figured that out. But I’m excited to be able to get this audio update to you so early in the week in spite of the busyness around here. Peter is over in San Pedro Sula today, tomorrow, and Wednesday doing some video work [...]

The good news is that we went to yet another funeral yesterday. Read on and you’ll understand why I call it good news. We’d been expecting this one for a while. Cora Wood was “Aunt Cora” to everyone who knew her. She had a special affinity for the teens of Oak Ridge and taught a [...]

We have visitors! A team from a church in Livonia, Michigan is here to help with the painting. It’s a group of young people from a church that supports the Silseths, and they are some great workers. They just started on Monday and as of the end of today, they did some finish painting on [...]

I guess that’s what you call it when you both get two intestinal viruses and an intestinal bacterial infection, all at the same time. When Dr. Raymond brought our medicines here to the house, he asked, “Where did you get all this stuff?!” referring, of course, to the bugs, not the meds he’d just brought [...]

It’s been a bit of a wild and woolly week so far. We lost electricity for about 12 hours the other day and night and for the better part of a week the power has been off and on like the lights in a room where a 3-year old just discovered the light switch. I [...]
