My First Bible

When did you get your first Bible? Was it special to you? I remember my first Bible. I think I was 6 or 7 and mostly remember looking at the pictures inside it. My older sister has written my name in calligraphy on the dedication page. If I remember right, I received it as a […]
The Power of the Word

Two questions: during the last five years, what has had the largest spiritual impact in your life? Got it? Now think about the last five weeks. What was a major spiritual influence in your life during this time? The answers will vary: a book, a sermon, or an interaction with a good friend may be some […]
What Is That Sound?

When you hear a certain sound, you associate it with “something”. The basement door at the office makes a certain “thump” when it closes. If you thought you were the only one at the office, it lets you know that is no longer the case. When I hear a grinding, rumbling sound in the garage. […]
HOPE Products: Daniel’s God

The biblical character, Daniel, is held in high esteem by the Scriptures. In fact, he is one of the only biblical characters about which nothing negative is written! The stories of Daniel’s life, contained in the first six chapters, are familiar and uncontroversial. They reveal much about God’s purposes and providence for Daniel. But the […]
The WORD Goes Out

For the last year and a half you have been getting updates on the varying progress of our Bible projects. The beginning was a conversation with the printer. We gave the go ahead and we were given a spot on the waiting list. Then we decided amounts and languages. After that we had many conversations […]

The Beauty of Prayer

Recently, on a long plane flight to Africa with Heralds of hope, I was working through a book I had read years ago and didn’t remember much of the details anymore. It is called Fresh Wind, Fresh Fire, and is the story of how the Brooklyn Tabernacle in New York City came to be. I […]
Living Hope

Jim Springer and Jim Lewis were the twin sons of a fourteen-year-old girl. She gave birth to them and immediately disappeared. The boys were adopted into two different loving families, but for 39 years they never met each other. But they each knew they had a twin sibling somewhere. Through the probate court, they finally […]

HOPE in Bemba

Since 2020, we realize the insufficiency of zoom calls and online meetings. We are thankful for this technology and ability to connect, but it is not a substitute for in person connection. We value the chance to meet our partners and thank God for the opportunity we had to travel to Eldoret, Kenya and meet […]
What Part of the Great Commission Don’t We Understand?

This past summer, Heralds of Hope held their annual picnic at a park in Shippensburg, PA. It was a lovely time, and the board, staff, spouses, and children enjoyed great food, frisbee, corn hole, spikeball, the playground, and good old-fashioned chatter. As people were arriving, Christian walked up to a circle wearing a T-shirt that […]
Good Things Take Time

Heralds of Hope has been working on new language broadcasts over the past several months. Some of these broadcasts have been taking quite a bit of time to develop. I thought it would be good to give a short update on our next languages. Bemba Bemba is a tribal language in Zambia. There are about […]
HOPE Products: God in Choice

Is God central to the choices you make? Do other things come first? Who gave you those things? For what purpose? An oversimplified view of the life of Abraham does little to address these questions. Yes, he walked by faith. But what choices did he have to make? Did he always act in perfect faith? […]
Travelling to Africa

We are in the planning stage for 2 international trips. Please pray for us as we plan the travel. Pray for the many details of a trip like this and that we’d be able to build good relationships so God’s Word can go forth effectively and efficiently. The first trip will be leaving near the […]
My Family

Last weekend, everyone came home. I find myself in a new phase of life where our children have become quite mobile. Our oldest daughter is married, and our son is dating; what used to be a family of 8 has now become 10. It is an event when they all manage to be in-house at […]
