Vas writes: My sister (who is joining our team in Guad) and Joni and I, are presently up in San Antonio. We are stuck here for about a week more because someone hit our car while driving on the freeway. Thank the Lord we’re OK and there was absolutely no injuries whatsoever. The van however [...]
So, I went to see The Da Vinci Code the other night. Seemed I was the only person in the world who hadn’t yet read the book, and the three other friends I was with were glad for that because they wanted another opinion on the film from someone who had no clue what the [...]
Nyx blogs about watching “The Da Vinci Code” and shares her thoughts on the movie. The novel “The Da Vinci Code” sold in the millions, and was recently made into a summer blockbuster starring Tom Hanks and Audrey Tatou. The controversy surrounding the plot of the story (which I won’t reveal in case you are [...]
Every now and then I get enlisted to help work on The Family International’s publications—mostly illustrating comic series for teenagers. I love this work, but of course, the work comes with other things, things that aren’t always the”fun” part.

Needless to say, we were a [...]

What an amazing experience it was to be up in the mountains with 25 teenagers and a couple of us staff. This was really just supposed to be a small event, but it turned out to be a camp! We started the drive with lots of desperate prayer, as the roads in India are dangerous [...]
Since there wasn’t a phone in the house in the mountains, we would drive into the town of Tapalpa every day to communicate with our house hunting team Vas and Godfrey. So we were so excited when the day came that they told us “I think we found the house!†They came “home†that night [...]
