EVENTS vs LIFESTYLE I think of events as sales ploys and lies. I always cringe when I see religious groups hold EVENTS. I cringe even more when individuals present EVENTS. Almost always it´s to ´impress others´ which has disastrous results for the victims of the events. The problem with EVENTS are that they are not […]
The Name
My 9 year old daughter (Winnie Joy) is now a ´proud grandma´. Must her inner ´slovak studda bubbah´ coming through. Her little weener dog had 9 puppies. (seeing how ´dad´ is our german sheppard watch dog, it´s a small miracle) She has all 9 puppies named, and she actually expects me to remember their names. […]
Opinions
Opinions Opinions are important. Everyone has one. I have learned over the years that MY OPINION isn´t necesarily the RIGHT opinion. It took a while for that to sink in. Jesus seemed to ALWAYS heard the person out when they came to Him. He LISTENED to them, not just HEARD them. He did that because […]
LOVE not charity.
LOVE not charity LOVE not Charity. I´m not a big fan of discussions (arguments) of which denominations, dogmas nor Bible translation is the best. We´re all wrong (in my opinion) on one thing or another. 1 Corinthians 13:2 in the New International Version, it replaces the word Charity with a better translation, the word LOVE. […]
GRACE
January 3, 1977 I enlisted in the US Army,,, man! That was a long time ago. I always have been amazed at God´s grace in my life, and I want that to be the image that our ministry portrays to ´OTHERS´. We are all flaberghasted at what the Lord has done for us and our […]
Attacked and Loving it.
I’ve been told that IF you are doing what God wants you to do, you will get attacked by the enemy. All though we don´t have a “fish” on our business card, we are believers in the Risen Lord. We are doing what we feel the Lord wants us to do. Therefore we are […]
Genesis is the instigator. She learned it…
Genesis is the instigator. She learned it from her mom. Man, NO ONE MESSES WITH GENESIS!… when someone does, her Mom puts on make up (?) and marches over the couple of blocks away that they live from where we feed. In my delirious, dehydrated state,, and through the heat waves, when Genisis´mom comes over […]

Thanks to everyone who gave to our ministry and the Jim Winner Home making […]

Summer Days- School Daze!
Missionaries who live here, and actually care enough about they serve to learn their language and cultures, know that SCHOOL IS OUT FOR SUMMER! I know, Christmas Season for us North Americans is NOT summer. In Nicaragua, it is, signifying ´dry season´. I guess rain is like snow to them or something cause they […]
