Nepal – A Nation in Crisis
Dear Friends, As the winter season is finally beginning to come to an end, I can feel a shift in the air. But it's not a change of natural seasons that is stirring these days; it is a stirring of the political climate here in Nepal. This month I want to fill you in on…
February support letter
Dear friends, I want to take this opportunity to say thank you for supporting me and apologize for not being in touch for so long. With some of you, I know this is my first time communicating with you even though you have supported me financially and prayerfully. I really appreciate all for you prayers…

The best-laid schemes
Thanks to all of you who prayed for my family and I over Christmas. They slipped through the new visa process without a hitch, and we spent the next two and a half weeks in a lovely daze of Dutch Blitz and Euchre, touristy romps through island ruins, colonial towns, and prehistoric dinosaur tracks.

Let it snow.
Hi friends, I had a snowy welcome back to Romania when I flew into Bucharest on January 6, 2008. Not as much snow as we had in New Hampshire over Christmas, but certainly enough to keep me happy.
