​:) WOW! :)

I must admit, I am so overjoyed in my heart today. Many don't know this, but 2 years ago, I developed a step by step training manual on how to build an aquaponics system. To this date, this training manual has reached 75 countries around the world.

One of my students in the Philippines just emailed photos of their beautiful system that they built by using the materials that were developed!

It really feels good to see this! God is GOOD!

Our daughter stopped in with our grandson, Alexander.  It's sure a blessing to see them periodically.  The hotel we bring teams to allows us to use the pool.  Pretty cool!

Getting some work done on the ol' girl!  A welded connection on the frame snapped.  These are issues you deal with when a vehicle you have is predominantly used in the mountains.  Doesn't matter how slow you go, just nature of the beast!

​WOW! How would you like driving this when it crashed? Looks like the driver had just enough room to get out! I say a miracle!

Water is such a precious gift and I think many of us take it for granted.  We simply just go to the sink in our homes and flip on the faucet.  What is shocking, 780 million worldwide are without an improved water source and an estimated 2.5 billion are without clean or sanitized water!

I wanted to share with you about a community here in the mountains of Guatemala, San Jose.  They are a community without clean running water.  Their only source is a small creek about a mile away from their home.  Can you image carrying water daily in a 2-gallon jug container?  Especially, from a creek where people are bathing, washing their clothes, motor vehicles driving through, and cattle stomping through there; doing what cows do (poop - YUCK!).

Well, we can fix that!  This community has already laid all the plumbing throughout the village.  They are ready to hook up to the water source, but there is one problem.  To hook up, they must pay a small fee of $1,369.  Then another $1,369 the following year; in total $2,738.

Thank You,

Preacher, is doing some serious acrobatics; installing grid and ceiling tiles.

Had a great time ministering with my friend Pastor Oscar! Ministered on, "Do You Really Trust God?"

My lovely bride, Nancy, snuck into the children's ministry to check on the teacher to see how she was doing!

Love helping men and women of God in ministry!

PRAISE THE LORD! We are breaking ground for a new church in San Jose, Guatemala. It's a tiny village through the mountains along the river bed.
