WE DARE TO BELIEVE !
AREN'T 48 YEARS ON THE MISSION FIELD ENOUGH?
It is true it has been a long journey from January 1963 to today. It has been a hard journey. It has been a glorious journey. And at times it has been a very lonely one. But in it all God has been with us, guiding, loving and encouraging us on. He gave us a work to do and told us we would complete it. We dare to believe what God has said to us, and what he has promised. If we were to leave the boat, who would come and get in the boat to carry on? Would you? .... Or you?
When we came to the field we learned by trial and error. The more we prayed, the more we trusted God, the more He seemed to give us to do. In our
younger years there was no time to slow down. We ran. We led so many to Christ, or to growth in their walk with the Lord. We passed out clothing, Bibles, Tracts, food, & school supplies for the children. We established many churches wherever we were invited. We, by the power of the Holy Spirit, cast out devils, healed the sick, and comforted those in need. We paid for many young to go to college. We labored hard whether there was money to do the job or not.
We are not young anymore. Isn't 48 years enough?
GOD HAS A WORK TO BE DONE & HE CALLED US TO DO IT!
When we said, "Here am I, Lord send me," it was not as long as all goes well, or if we don't have to go through persecution, or as long as the money holds out. No! God called. We said yes. Then, God proceeded to tell us what He would do. And what He expected of us. "This is the land I have given you. You will rebuild the old waste places. The latter will be more glorious than the first. Your portion shall be a daily ration from the King. I will be with you to the end."
The Missionary Training School will be in the Rancho. No turning back. So be it!

Gen. 8: 22
While the earth remaineth, seedtime & harvest, cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.

IS SUMMER STILL AROUND?
Summer is about over, fall will bring those beautiful colors as the leaves begin to change; and as it always does, fall will give way to the cold and for some the snow of winter; until winter melts into spring with all its beauty of new birth. It happens every year. We know that this will be, just as we know that night will follow day. The sun, moon and stars are a part of our every day life. It is one of those sureties of life that continues until Christ returns.
Yes, summer is still around in its season. Our Creator God sees to that. He planned it from the very beginning.
