6mar15 GOOD MORNING (Para leer esta traducción en español, por favor, desplácese hacia abajo) I heard someone once say to a child, CHANGE YOU ATTITUDE! YOU HAVE 3 SECONDS TO DO SO. A little harsh, but for me it was on of those AHA moments. We choose our mood. Being told to do so is […]

Hurt Feelings
20feb15 Hurt Feelings (Desplácese hacia abajo para la traducción en español.) A little 3 year girl has not spoken to me in a week. I pray that I just hurt her feelings some how and that it is not a sign of something bad happening in her home. Even so, if I had indeed hurt […]
Taste (Espanol ajabo)
13FEB15 and Taste (Espanol ajabo) We try to encourage the children to pray before they eat. Once a little boy prayed,*** “LORD, HELP DEAN TO BEHAVE HIMSELF, AND MAKE THE FOOD TASTE GOOD!” I dont know about the first request, but the food tasted great. The Bible teaches us to taste and see that the […]

Daily Bread
29jan15 Daily Bread Give us this day our daily bread…. Jesus Always thought this was about food. But it is much more than that. It is about constant sustenance, Things we need daily that God so willingly supplies. Jesus supplied us salvation through His sacrifice on the Cross. He provides air, water, everything we need. […]
Togetherness
23jan15 Togetherness Sometimes I look at the children in the Chureca happily playing together when they are alone, and I think to myself, they do surprisingly well without our help. But it isn’t true if you are consider ALL the people helping them. Each one of us have our own extremely important function, even though […]

Our Ministry
Our Ministry Psalm 37 in a lot of translations says to -dwell in the land to cultivate faithfullness-. I always assumed being faithful to God meant going all over the place, like chasing after an unattainable goal. Some well traveled people have very little fruit to show for all their faithful globe trotting. Although […]
Praise
9jan15 Praise Some ‘christianisms’ make me wonder. One is praise reports. The fact is everything around us is a reason for praise. There is reason for praise in all things, even bad things. Even non believers praise God when good things happen and curse Him when bad things happen. As psycho as that may be. […]
Power
1Jan14 Power Happy New Years, well, at least I can say one thing for it, it made all of us stronger (those of us who survived it anyway) We all need to improve this year. I want to be more orderly and considerate. IF you are getting these emails, and want off, let me know.. […]

(see attachment) They are electric heaters built at the end of shower nozzles because the water is freezing in the morning, as is the morning temperatures…. so these things heat up the water […]
recipe
12dec14 recipe Recipe for STARTING a missionary work…. (lots of people ask, feel free to copyright, plagiarize or whatever.. if it means one kid getting into heaven it is worth it.) first off this works for me… NO ONE KNOWS THE SITUATION THAT YOU ARE IN… do what God tells you to do, not man, […]

NOTE!!! NOTICIA!!! No olviden nuestra fiesta de Navidad el 13 en nuestra casa. HOY en ocho- Abajo esta traducido en español, Also do not forget our Christmas party next week. Fe = Iron Fe also is the Spanish word for Faith. Faith is a strong substance as well was a whimsical idea. In hispanic countries […]
Enemies
27nov14 Enemies Enemies are good. They are GREAT TEACHERS, if you let them be. Plus they teach you more about Jesus. I have always been a bleeding heart. When I was a kid, and they came out with BLACK Friday, I assumed it in honor of what happened to the good and kind indians AFTER […]
Righteousness
21nov14 Righteousness Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world. James 1-27 I think THAT is the definition of righteousness as well. Most everyone in the world think they are the only ones right, So […]
Exercise
IF you want to send care packages for the kids, send them to my wife through normal mail (NOT THROUGH NICABOX!) The address is; Wikknelia Peters Aptdo PA #455 Telcor Central Managua Nicaragua Central America 14nov14 Exercise Contrary to popular opinion, I do not think I should be this fat, I DO try to eat […]
Coincidence
Coincidence +-Co is the key part of the word coincidences. Without a co,, usually incidents don’t happen. If someone isn’t with you, it’s a long row to hoe, with few results. Good things happen in life because God is with you, and your friends are with you. Bad things usually happen because you bumped into […]
Worry.
31oct14, Worry. Matthew 6:25-34New King James Version (NKJV) Worry is sin. *imho, if you do something that Jesus says not to do, i think that’s sin.* 25 “Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. […]
Empowerment
24oct14 Empowerment ´WHAT YOU FEAR, YOU EMPOWER High school bullies, armies, spoiled kids, terrorists, punk rockers, moms, leaders (religious and political) etc have capitalized on this theory for centuries. I have friends terrified by danger (perceived or real) Such as stuff on fox news, satan, demons, crime, etc has turned them into blithering cowards. […]
Job
17Oct14 Job I often wonder if the word Job has any connection to the oldest book in the Bible, the book of Job, Both definitely have their pros and cons. Job had both great and horrible occurrences in his life. Jobs bring both as well. While men all around the world worry about their […]
Packages
10oct14 Packages We love getting packages by mail, both for our own children and for the kids we serve who live in squawler . It’s about 50 dollars to get a box but it is well worth it. By the way we have a po box to get packages and Mail here. We are getting […]
Happy
3Sept14 Happy A few years ago I had a christian ‘brother’ in a hotel pick up van with me. I have known the christian guy a long time. The taxi driver was a new acquaintance, so him and I were making small talk, mostly about the type of car he drove. I said, ‘as long […]
Borders, Part 2, THE SEQUEL!
1 Oct14 Borders Part 2, THE SEQUEL! God has blessed us with renewed acquaintances, meeting family members for the first time (my children that is), donations, a vehicle, and a renewed vigor, purpose and vision for the Jim Winner Home. God MIRACULOUSLY provided for more times than we can count, AND ALWAYS AT THE LAST […]
Borders
26Sept14 Borders Borders are really tough to cross, ESPECIALLY when they have already been estabilished. A border is even harder after it has been established for along time. It is so much easier to cross a border when people before you have not abused it yet. Once people begin to pay bribes, and corrupt the […]
America
19Sept14 America ‘I cant see the forest for the trees’ really applies to me wherever I live. God continues to command us in His Word TO LOOK around us. As we do, we have to PRAISE HIM. As my family and I have seen a great deal of America this past month, we have to […]
Forgiveness
Million Friends and Forgiveness For some reason people LOVE to NOT forgive. It’s amazing. And when they decide to forgive someone, they are almost apologetic about it. Like they aren’t good to their WORD or something. The fact is that none of us are GOOD to our WORD, except for God. And God is not […]
‘Someday’
8Sept14 ‘Someday’ I am 57, there were tons of things that I always wanted to do ‘someday’. After being in my home town for a week, I have found out that a lot of my old buddies have slipped off to eternity. Time is a vapor, it’s here and then gone. If I want to […]
Will
Will Not my will, but Thy Will be done…. Jesus Wow, that’s the toughest prayer in the world,, It’s really hard for me to even say that. You have to just do it,, will power! Will power is under rated in the Christian walk. (Or overrated depending on your point of view). We always see […]
Timing
Timing God’s things happen in God’s timing. I tend to push Him, and it doesn’t work very well. Relationships,equipment, objectives are always destroyed when you either move ahead of God’s precise timing, or behind it. It’s a very fine line… for me it’s always best to plod along. That being said, plodding is what we […]
Danger
Danger The most dangerous occupation in the world is… #1. being a poor toddler in a third world country. and that doesn´t even fall into the at-risk category. At-Risk children means that they are at risk of being forced into prostitution. Most dangerous weapon in the world….#1. that poor toddler 18 years later. I am […]
