Spring Highlights

Hallelujah – Jesus is Alive!

Hello everybody!

Thanks for coming to visit our brand-new website and blog. We hope you take time to look around . . . and please feel free to share your feedback (as we’re eager to see this new “comment” feature and blog utilized to to encourage back-and-forth communication).

This spring, we’re preparing our hearts and focusing our thoughts on Jon’s upcoming Harvest Ministry Mission to Apac, in Northern Uganda (he leaves in less than a week, on Monday, April 13th, the day after Easter). We’re praying for many souls to be saved, and believing for the Lord to move mightily in that spiritually needy area. Just today we sent out a ministry newsletter (in the mail) to share with our partners, and we appreciate all of you who are standing with us in prayer.

Yesterday, Ann had an encouraging radio interview on KTLF 90.5 FM, a Christian station based in Colorado Springs (broadcast on 39 translators in Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming, as well as around the world on the internet).  The host, Jerry King, was very gracious as we conducted our first “Quarterly Missions-Minder” – to encourage families about the current need for world missions.

Along with the upcoming Africa outreach, we’re excited about upcoming ministry here in the U.S. throughout the next two months, including:  two days of encouraging missions at a family-oriented church in Portland, Oregon; traveling to ORU in Tulsa, Oklahoma for our son Joshua’s college graduation; ministering at a mother-daughter retreat in Silverton, Oregon; speaking at a statewide homeschooling conference in Michigan; and traveling to Little Rock, Arkansas for two live studio interviews (with Family Life Today and Revive Our Hearts ministries). Please see our Upcoming-Recent Events page for more information and links.

In our family’s homeschooling, we are focusing on the Passover, the Cross, and the Resurrection, along with mission-need highlights from throughout the world. We are also in the process of attempting to transfer the entire FREE Teaching With God’s Heart for the World curriculum from our old website, so it can be accessed here, although we’re having some technical difficulties (as the files are large and need to be compressed). We’re learning.

Please keep us in your prayers, as we seek Jesus . . . and souls (especially for the outreach in Apac). And have a wonderful Easter Week, as we focus on our Lord’s atoning death and His glorious resurrection!

A few mission-minded quotes for this week:

“Cool casual Christianity will accomplish nothing. Our most urgent need is the flaming message of the Cross–now and now at our leisure.” -- Evangelist Reinhart Bonnke

“Don’t leave Jesus in the manger, or on the cross, or in the tomb. He is alive, and even now wants to walk beside you every day.” --Evangelist Billy Graham

In His Harvest,

Jon & Ann & all
