Many of you know that our first plan was to go and pioneer Titus Project in South Africa! The great news is that our wonderful friends Marysol and Dewet pioneered it before we could get there and they have done a tremendous job! They have an amazing website www.blomerus.org so feel free to check it out! Anyways,…

Where to begin? I think the first place to start is to thank Jesus! On Thursday, Angela’s mom had a successful surgery, removing hopefully all the dead cancer cells from her body. What a huge blessing. Thank you to those that prayed for her, we truly believe she is doing so well because of your prayers! On another note, Ben has successfully…

On the road, once again. Ben will be heading to Montana to staff the training time there. He leaves on Sep 16 and returns just in time for his cousin Brent’s wedding on Oct 9. Actually, this will be their first time working with Titus Project at a base other than in Taiwan. We have…

"Remember the fish we used to eat in Egypt for nothing, the cucumbers, the melons, the leeks, the onions, and the garlic; but now our strength is dried up, and there is nothing at all but this manna to look at." (Numbers 11:6) As I read through Numbers 10 and 11 today I could…

How about Bono. Bono? Yeah, Bono… maybe he’ll be a big star! Yeah, we always have to name the little one in womb. The last one was ‘Beaner’ and this one is ‘Bono’ :) It is very exciting to have a little sibling on the way for Cassie! We are due on April 17th, so…

Ugly words…food poisoning. I was tempted to describe each and every moment of my ordeal but I figure that most of you have gone through it yourself. And besides, though texture and color are important attributes, we usually only like to see them in beautiful things like art. But it hurts like crazy!…

Yesterday was a frustrating day all around. Expectations not being met are one of the biggest causes for anger and disappointment. On saturday night we found we had been exposed to chicken pox. Expectation #1: This friday we were going to go on a road trip with my parents to visit my brother and his…

The men’s group at our church meets every Wednesday evening. We chat for a bit, get up to date on each others’ lives and spend the last hour reading from a consecutive passage in the Bible and talking about it. We just recently started Exodus and some of the guys have never read it before, which…

"So…um… what are you guys going to be actually doing while you are home?" It’s a common question and a good one! What exactly will we be doing? Because officially we are missionaries that are sent out by Kilcona, and because we really have a heart for this, we will be investing time into raising…

We sure do miss Taiwan and all of our friends, but it is good to be home. Ben and I really haven’t seen many people yet because we have been spending most of our time with my parents. I’ve been to my mom’s chemotherapy with her. We’ve gone to a support group and met some…

We made it safe and sound back home to Winnipeg, Canada! It was wonderful to be picked up at the airport by our family! This week we will be resting and spending time with our immediate family. We are really excited to get to church this sunday and then we will start spending time…

The difference between addition and multiplication. Ben and I love to teach the bible. BUT we are only two people. That is why we love Titus Project. Because then we get to train more people to do what we do and it makes more of a difference. Today we sent out 4 people to…

Our time has been full with giving our cousins a taste of missions, teaching and mentoring 10 new teachers, planning a teaching schedule for them in Taiwan, and packing up our apartment! Whew! I’m tired just reading that last sentence. To be honest this past month has been really tiring, I’ll even use the word…

Well I’ll start off by saying Hi, my name is Carter Chavez and I am Ben’s cousin. God has allowed me the amazing opportunity to come over to Taiwan and serve with Ben and Ang. It’s been really cool to come over here and see how God is using them to further his Kingdom. They…

It was such a pleasure to go and teach in the Philippines two weeks back! I had two full mornings to teach through Joshua. It was probably more a treasure for me as I watched Joshua conquer the land that God had given the Israelites. In a similar way, we are praying about our future…

As I was walking home today from our office I contemplated this blog. What am I going to write about? I need to write…but????? So I decided to give you some glimpses of my walk home. First I saw an old man on a scooter getting ready to park. He stopped the scooter, moved a sandbag that he…

For those who are praying for my mom, I just wanted to let you all know that she is back at home and still just waiting on more tests. But she is feeling okay and glad to be at home. Please keep praying for her, my dad and the whole family as we play the waiting…

God has said, Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.?? 6?So we say with confidence, The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid… Heb 13:5-6 (Also found in: Deut 31:6,8; Jos 1:5) This is true, I have found this to be very true the past few days in…

As we flew into the Ukraine I looked around at all the people. After observing the size of their noses I said to Ben ‘these are my people’ :) This was the last stop on our trip to Europe. It was really exciting to see all that is happening in the largest country in Europe! We…

Question and Answer with the ABC Family Q: What was your impressions of Sweden? A: Wow! Did we just fly into Lake of the Woods? What a gorgeous place. YWAM has a large campus (over 50 acres) with Trees, Horses, Flowers and many buildings. It is a 5 minute walk from a salt water…
