Still Alive and Kicking

Sorry for the delay between posts. We're still not accustomed to blogging. Anyway, we're doing well. We had a great Easter weekend. Nancy went to St. Louis to visit with Chris and Eleanor the weekend prior, then on Easter Eve we had a super fun celebration with 0ur monthly small group, followed by worship with John and Tara at their church on Easter Sunday. Dan's classwork is still consuming all his time, but we are thankful that he continues to learn. Concerning Nancy's year-long program on Advanced Prayer Healing, she is at the stage of writing reading reports on some of the 10 books she has been reading. She is learning a lot too. Dan has especially enjoyed his Inductive Bible Study class this semester on the gospel of Mark. This has really helped him learn to dig deep into the Word in a different way, and he is grateful. He will eventually teach a course on Mark in the Wesleyan Seminary of Venezuela. This June he will teach an evangelism course, then stay in VZ an extra two weeks to check out some dissertation research possibilities. Thanks for your love and support! Much Love, Dan and Nancy

Global Jesus


March 22nd we had the fun of kicking off the Global Missions Emphasis Week at the Nicholasville UMC in Kentucky. Dan preached, encouraging the congregation to be globally focused. The following Sunday the senior pastor (Mike Snyder) preached on the need for Christians to share the good news of forgiveness with non-Christians all over the world. It was a helpful week of planting seeds that we pray the Holy Spirit will water and bring to fruition, as this congregation grows in their passion for the nations. We appreciate the opportunity to be a part of that seed-planting, and thank our supporters for making that possible. Much Love, Dan and Nancy
