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 [...]

Peter and I were hard at work after midnight this morning. Yesterday was the day we’d set for installing the “new” refurbished FM computer. It would have been much easier if we actually could have installed it. I use the term “‘new’ refurbished” because none of the computers for our dual language project are new. [...]

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 [...]

Tegus — that’s short for Tegucigalpa, the capital city of Honduras. It’s pronounced Te-goose. The trip last Wednesday to Tegus went very well. I got all our business done with the lawyers and at the immigration office. The flights over and back were spectacular. When you’re cruising at an altitude of only 10-11,000 feet and [...]

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 [...]

I had some fun throwing together this little video of my trip to Utila. I left Friday afternoon right after finishing Request & Dedication. I got to Utila at about supper time. The first order of business, of course, was transportation. My friend Lance Bodden helped me out as always with an ATV. Then I [...]

Remember the old Gene Kelly song, “Singin’ in the Rain?” If so, you’re kind of showing your age. I have always enjoyed being out in the rain, as long as I can stay reasonably dry, but I admit that I liked it better when I was a kid. Of course, when you have work to [...]

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 [...]

On Wednesday, when Mildred changed the hummingbird feeder, I happened to have the camera ready. I was really hoping that one of them would land on her finger again, but it didn’t happen. One of them was thinking about it, though! Later in the week, I changed the feeder and had the camera in one [...]

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 [...]

Our “dual language” project is moving right along. It began with rebuilding an almost new computer to feed audio to the AM transmitter. (Right now we have one computer that feeds both transmitters.) The broadcast software we use now has been discontinued, so we had to get a new version. Sadly, the new version does [...]

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 [...]
