Even without the snow and cold Christmas is still in the air here on campus. If you stay on this page for a minute or two a video will start that highlights our Christmas celebration here last week. It ranged from upbeat Christmas carols, classical music, a commissioning by Lorne Cunningham (founder of YWAM) for a group of DTS teams leaving for…

Frank Abagnale Jr had a very unique life even before he turned 19. This movie by Spielberg starring Tom Hanks is quite a story, basically a true story (watch the extras). Obviously his is not a life we should aim for but it is a reminder that good things can still come from something broken, we…

Just imagine a stagnant pool…can you see it? Algae growing on top, no movement, the water begins to stink because it has no oxygen flowing… Now imagine a fresh bubbling brook, moving, dancing, laughing! Can you picture it in your mind? We have just finished studying the wonderful book of Philippians where the main…

There has to be a first for everyone – today was ours. We finally had the opportunity to travel around a little. A couple graciously loaned us a car this weekend and on sunday we took her up north through Kohala, hiked this cool trail down like 500ft to a secluded black sand beach.…

Always wanted to go to Broadway? This is a big weekend at our home church Kilcona as they present their annual Christmas Musical. This year they have taken a different twist and it is a broadway style, with singing, dancing, acting and everything! My best friend Liza May is directing it and I know that…

This week we have had two experiences that have been awesome! 1) We got together with Colin and Tasha Doerksen (Ben’s cousins) who were here in Hawaii on vacation. They came and picked us up in their car on sunday morning and we went to church together. Afterwards we went to ‘Bubba Gump’s’ for…

Actually Ben didn’t have any booties on because he was in the shower, but let me tell you he sure got out fast! In case you hadn’t heard, we got rocked again! Just a little earthquake (5.0) but enough to make my legs jelly. It was a great way to start Thanksgiving day…

When Kyle and Marilyn were here they shared a super cool song with us. It should automatically start playing when you get to our webpage, but depending on your internet connection speed might need sometime to load. Hope you like it as much as we do!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Well, at least to our U.S readers, because while we may have missed Thanksgiving at home, this week we get to have it here in Hawaii!

Do you ever think, what in the world does the bible have to say to my life? I mean, let’s face it, it is an OLD book! Well, this week we studied the book of Galatians and I want you to see just how much there is that can apply! Here are some of the timeless truths…

It’s Time for … For interest sake, Winnipeg has a rich history in the Grey Cup! We were the first team from the west to ever win in 1935 – at that time named the Winnipeg Winnipeg’s (see cfl.ca) – Who knew the Labatt Blue commercial was right? They changed the name the next…

We bought ourselves a hair trimming kit the other day. Ben’s hair was getting a little long and we figured for the same price of a haricut we could buy a trimmer and then all future haircuts would be free. Good idea? We thought so. Inside the haircutting kit was also a pair of scissors.…

Isn’t that a question we all ask? Am I good enough? Did I do enough good things this week? Does God really love me for who I am or who I try to be? He does. Really love you I mean. We were studying Acts this week- great book that Acts. Crazy adventures, Paul, Peter, stoning,…

I know what you’re thinking. This doesn’t sound like Ben. Doesn’t sound too much like Angela either. Then who could it be!? Who has usurped one of the best blogs on the internet? Well none other than the same man who shares the exact same birthday as our dear friend Ben. No this is not…

Well the time is flying by, a month has passed already. We got our first letter this week as well as Angela’s first birthday card! Thanx. We spent this week studying the book of Luke. Luke wrote it to a Roman official, Theophilus to give him an accurate account of all that transpired concerning…

I wish I could type more each day, but it is really difficult with one hand. Please continue to pray for recovery, it is really swollen which hurts quite a bit. One thing I’ve been trying to learn is to be a little less independent. Anyone who knows me well knows that I can be…

"Right now doc?" Well I didn’t actually call him doc, but he did take me by surprise. I have to tell you this story. My wrist has really been bothering me since I got here and I noticed a bump (turned out to be a ganglion cyst- not dangerous) on the top of my…
