• Bible College: Seven Letters to all the Churches

  Posted on January 6, 2017 by Andrew in By Andrew

  I am officially a college professor.  Over the last couple years, we reorganized our Bible Institute to empower our satellite branches, simplify our structure, and make it cheaper to run.

  A common question we get while on the road here in the States is, “How does it feel to be home? I bet your loving it.” It is an interesting question, because the person asking it almost always includes the answer, but it also makes a very big assumption—that America is still home. It is […]

  Posted on November 28, 2015 by Andrew in Uncategorized

  I just posted a blog called difficult. It was a small glimpse into one of the darkest and most challenging times of my life. If you haven’t read it, you can read it here. I figured it might be worthwhile to talk about what helped me to get out of these challenging times and overcome […]

  Posted on November 12, 2015 by Andrew in Uncategorized

  It has been a long time since I wrote a blog. Not because I have not had anything to say, but because nothing I wanted to say felt completely honest. There have been so many great things going on here in Kenya, but it has been hard trying to write anything while knowing that I […]

  A Spiritual World

  Posted on April 2, 2015 by Andrew in Uncategorized

  10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.

  We Went on an Adventure

  Posted on December 27, 2014 by Andrew in Uncategorized

  (This is a post I wrote back in April. I just never got around to organizing all the pictures and putting it up.) Three nights in the past week I have fallen asleep exhausted on the couch before 8 o’clock. I have been extremely busy trying to work on some leadership adjustments at the school […]
