Today I am traveling to Dallas on behalf of Baxter Institute, attending a meeting of the Presidential Search Committee. The work of the committee will help determine the future of Baxter, but today I am reflecting upon the past. What we know today as Baxter became a reality in Mexico in 1963 as Brother Harris …

Good Wednesday morning! Well, we finally arrived home yesterday (Tuesday) about mid-morning. With a slight flight delay and problems with severe weather which we had to fly around, it was later than expected when we arrived in Tulsa Monday night. After a long day (we had awakened about 4 a.m.), we decided it would be …

Today we travel! The time in Honduras has been too short, filled with many memorable experiences and opportunities to make a difference in the lives of God’s people and others. Accept my apologies for failing to post yesterday, despite the best of my intentions and plans. The problem was that we did not have electricity …
Good morning! It seems that our Internet service has perhaps stabilized, so I hope to accomplish a lot this Saturday morning. I am working in the cafeteria since we still do not have Internet at the apartment. Our final weekend in Honduras will be filled with checking lists to make certain we have gotten everything …
Wow, am I ever glad I had a couple of blogs pre-set to post. We have basically been without internet access for the past two days–trying to get in a few words before we lose internet again. Great days. Last night to Los Pinos–growing church, 49 present for Thursday night Bible study (very few kids, …
The absence of an internet connection in the apartment made blogging impossible over the weekend, so this update has to cover a few days of activities. Attendance at the combined worship service on Sunday was excellent—I do not know the exact number but it was probably near 1000. On Sunday Jan and I accompanied Erik Tryggestad to the airport to …
Friday is almost always the climax of seminario with good crowds, excellent fellowship, and exciting classes. Yesterday was no exception. Dr. Bob Hooper, history professor at Lipscomb University, is presenting excellent synopses of the lives of various Restoration leaders. The classes are well-attended, a couple of them with overflow crowds. Jan and I have had …
Good morning from Honduras, The best laid of plans go awry. With heavy rains a couple of days ago, the internet connection for our apartment went down due to an antenna problem, so my access is limited. The first day of seminario yesterday was very good. Today is the day I teach my class. We …
Today guests from all over Central America (and some from other Latin American countries) will begin arriving for seminario. We have already enjoyed a couple of brief visits with Juan Jose Flores from Ecuador, a Baxter alumnus involved in local church work in Ibarra and also involved at Quito SBS. Yesterday, we visited briefly with …
The morning began as expected–the treed-campus means that the birds begin singing very early–some by 3:30 or 4:00 a.m. Such is a delightful way to awaken–and I lay awake in the darkness praying and thinking about the marvelous ways God has provided for his people. There is a work group here this week, staying on …
