For the next three months, I intend to use this blog space to discuss something that I know if you are reading this blog is very important to you and to me -- The Mission of God. This is often referred to as the MISSIO DEI. Here is what it will look like:

Greetings,

By God’s grace, we (Bob and Kristi) are doing well. Bob performed a wedding in St. Louis for a dear friend in late October. Later that week he was hospitalized with acute renal failure.

Have you ever needed a reminder...no, a wake-up call, that everything happening around you might not be as bad as it seems? In this day of living through a world pandemic, it can be a tremendous challenge to see things as positive!

Greetings,

It goes without saying, especially to those of you who are reading this AOHE newsletter blog. However, I am going to say it anyway, “The Power of Prayer WORKS!” To those five words I would like to say, “THANK YOU!”

What never gets old, you ask? The privilege that God has given to me over the 40+ years I have served Him in ministry, of baptizing those the Holy Spirit has brought to faith.

Here is how I began last month’s newsletter article: “As I reflect on my life having recently reached the age of 68, and within those 68 years having reached the 40th anniversary of my ordination as a missionary, mission executive, pastor, and currently as a Bible Teacher to Israel, it amazes me at how much of that time I have spent battling Satan and the spiritual warfare he has attempted to inflict on my life and career.”
