• 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.

  Posted on December 24, 2011 by Andrew in By Andrew

A missionary friend of ours is back in the states, so we are staying at their house and watching over things, especially Paco, their beloved Chihuahua. Paco is a peculiar little dog.
