 A little background to this story.  I have been a fan of The Waltons from the beginning of the series.  In 2017 I attended the 45th anniversary celebration of the show in Schuyler, Virginia, the small hamlet where the series' creator Earl Hamner, Jr., was born and raised.  Perhaps I can share a bit more about that in a future post. During that weekend in March 2017 I met Reen Christie Bula (a/k/a Tammi Bula), who played John-Boy's love interest Marcia Woolery in the early seasons. Here is a shot of Reen and me, As well as a shot of all the cast member in attendance at the reunion with the exception of Michael Learned who went to bed early due to a play appearance the following day.

 Everyone likes good news.  Ned's Bible Institute class on the Occult is going well.  He and his almost 30 students meet every Thursday evening from 7:30-8:30 pm through Zoom.  Last week we had a special guest: Marcia Montenegro, founder of Christian Answers for the New Age (CANA).  Marcia was a professional astrologer for over 8 years before becoming a Christian.  She shared her testimony with the class, relating how a Christian man and his church were praying for her for a year before Marcia gave her life to Christ.  Now she works with people who struggle with some of the same questions and situations that she was involved in prior to coming to faith.  Marcia took time to answer the students questions for a good hour.  We appreciate her time and expertise.  Please pray that God would use her in her many online interactions with people seeking the truth. More GOOD NEWS to come in the coming days.  Thanks for your patience and inter...

 Ministry has been a struggle during COVID-19 for us here and for many of you in different places in the world.  Recently we have been encouraged with higher numbers in our online GO ENGLISH CLUB.  We have averaged around 25 children in the last couple weeks.  Thanks for your prayers, and please keep them coming.  We appreciate the kind help of our friends Marybeth, Michelle, Faith, and Dayana. We give God the glory for what He is doing in us and through us.  We pray that the children that we are working with can know God personally.  Their families, too!!

Celebrating our new Liebenzell Mission friends who have arrived within the last year.  This includes Marcel and Faith Friess with their two daughters and Andreas and Maren Gauss with their two sons. We've enjoyed spending time with them at our house and also in meetings and on outings, such as this one to the Peguche waterfall near our house in Otavalo. WELCOME AND GOD BLESS YOUR SERVICE IN OTAVALO FOR HIS GLORY!!
