I arrived home from Mexico late last Monday. Tuesday morning I had time to supervise a plumbing repair job and some other work on the house before I set out for New Jersey. I had an excellent meeting with a pastor regarding our interest in starting RUF at Rowan University, then headed toward State College,… Continue reading September 18, 2016 — Penn State and Pittsburgh

I'm in the airport waiting to board for the flight home. It's been a wonderful week in Mexico. This is the highlights report. The next post will be more detailed. I arrived last Monday, having mostly finished the sermon I was to give to the students on Tuesday. Tuesday morning I finished my sermon, then… Continue reading September 12, 2016 — Visit to RUF in Mexico

You can find a shorter version of this report, called "A Visit to RUF in Mexico" I flew to Mexico last Monday. I had been focused on the sermon for my church, Lehigh Valley Presbyterian, in the previous week. So on the flight I launched into preparing for my sermon at the university on Tuesday… Continue reading September 12, 2016 — A Week in Mexico

I preached at Lehigh Valley Presbyterian Church this morning, and no one ran out. My sermon was "A People Loved by God," Deuteronomy 7:6-10. Tomorrow I fly to Mexico for a week. It's going to be an exciting trip, and I'm eager to see everyone there, but it means the beginning of travel season. The… Continue reading September 4, 2016 — The Calm Before the Storm

How time flies! A week from today I'll be in Mexico, and then on the road for much of the time until Thanksgiving. Only a few days left to get everything in order before I leave. So that's what I'm doing last week and this week. I still have some dates to nail down, meetings… Continue reading August 30, 2016 — Starting New RUF Ministries

We had a profitable week in the D.C. area. We worshiped at Grace Evangelical Presbyterian Church (PCA) on Sunday and were given an… Continue reading August 24, 2016 — Fundraising and Family

Ruth and I had a very good week at staff training in Atlanta. I flew down last Saturday, arriving at 8:30 AM. I spent the next four hours preparing for staff training, and then picked up Monse at the airport. We checked in at the hotel and each took a nap to refresh from the… Continue reading July 29, 2016 — Staff Training

I'm waiting in the Lehigh Valley Airport, about to embark on a two week trip. Next week is staff training, and then a week of fundraising with Barush Sanchez, our Mexican staff. This was a good week. I met with Scott Mitchell to go over his summer report, but otherwise it was filled with email… Continue reading July 23, 2016 — Preparation

I am sitting here facing a week with only two appointments. It should be a relaxing week, but I have a feeling it won't be. Last week Ruth and I flew to Atlanta on Sunday evening, and the week never slowed down. The previous week (July 4-9) was a solid week of preparing for RUF… Continue reading July 18, 2016 — RUF Assessment

On Tuesday I caught an early flight to Mexico City. Along the way I read applications for RUF assessment and listened to sermons. I got some exercise to work the kinks out of my body before dinner, which was with Barush and Lanu, and Monse. I spent most of Wednesday with Barush and two local… Continue reading July 2, 2016 — Mexico again
