Tyler surrendered in Jan 12 to be a foreign church planter Regina, Tyler and I organized everything it seemed 10 times, ran errands, met Tyler's roommate and went all over getting those last minute to do's done. 7:00 P.M. came around and it was time to head to the Presidents ice cream social. As we walked out of Tyler's dorm, Tyler spied all the new students on the lawn in groups and said "Mom, Dad - stay back until I figure out what is going on" - those were...

Game Time at IBB Tamboril's 5th annual VBS The Baptist Bible Church of Tamboril is doing GREAT - again - without us!

We are here in the U.S. on furlough so we could not be there but have been planning and praying for this activity for some time and God really blessed! They memorized verses, played games, sang and on Sunday morning presented to their parents what...

Don Pedro continues to grow and needs new facilities The majority of third world countries Regina and I have lived in and visited suffer from the same problem, masses of people who live on relativity small pieces of real estate. This makes buying land and building buildings difficult and expensive. Our national association members feel purchasing the property for the Bible Baptist Church in Don Pedro for $28,000 a few years ago was an incredible blessing. Moving closer...

Ingrid (11) & Frandy (7) received Christ as their personal Savior Not sure what an extra $74 could do on the mission field? Pastor Nestor Ojito who trained with us in Cuba before we were forced to leave, recently informed us about an incredible opportunity to start a new work in the central province of Villa Clara. This is approximately 270 kilometers east of the last church we started in Havana in 2005. Last year, the churches in Cuba began giving so that several men and women could travel to the province of Matanzas each...

The man on the left in this picture is Pastor Freddy Centeno. He grew up in my father-n-law's ministry and started a church in a now annexed (used to be a part of Nicaragua) part of Costa Rica called Liberia. When Regina and I went to...

The day that I accepted Jesus as my Savior was the day I began experiencing the joy that comes with His presence, guidance and purpose. I have joy because He has been faithful in never leaving me or forsaking me in our family’s travels through Costa Rica, Cuba, Haiti and the Dominican Republic. Now that He has led me to be a foreign church planter I have peace and joy in knowing that He has a plan to prepare me for His...

Enjoying Father, Son time at the Houston Museum My mom and dad has been a tremendous blessing over the years to our ministry.

Loved by his students, its hard to go anywhere with my Dad in Lubbock, without running into someone who hasn't passed through one of his classes. Dad is also a writer and is just about finished with - "Love Among The Derricks" which is filled with...
