Just a quick update before I head out on Thursday for our annual trout-fishing weekend on the great Popple River (really a small but beautiful stream in NE Wisconsin:) and lots of quality father/son time. . . . PRAISES: *Jesus’s presence with us at every moment and His love that compels us to live transformed [...]

Being Prepared

Thursday, April 19th, 2012 by Clive

We laughed hysterically as we watched the video clips we had just shot during the Campus Target minicamp scavenger hunt. A few dozen young adults descended on the Lima, NY, area to earn points by doing such crazy things as shopping cart races, acting out scenes from Disney movies, hunting pretend buffalo, and asking marital [...]

We See Only in Part…

Friday, March 23rd, 2012 by Clive

Earthquakes in the midwest?! This week, we were astounded to hear from our relatives downstate (near Green Bay, WI) that they were awakened several nights in a row with loud explosion-like booming and shaking houses. The cause remained a mystery for days, and on the news you could sense people’s fright and confusion over the [...]

Greetings from Montana!

Saturday, March 10th, 2012 by Clive

I hope you are all well, standing firm on our Rock, who is Christ, and the only unchanging, unfading, eternally perfect One. He makes the greatest mountain seem small, the greatest beauty look dull. I’m so blessed to know my Lord in this way as things around me (and all of us) seemingly swirl around [...]

Missing Asia

Thursday, February 23rd, 2012 by Clive

Though I am definitely missing Asia during this season, I am continually amazed at the ways in which the Father of all good things sustains and delights my soul. Sometimes its rest and quiet times with Him; sometimes its experiencing Him in the magnificance of HIs creation; sometimes its in fellowship with brothers and sisters [...]

Here’s what my summer looks like:

Wednesday, July 20th, 2011 by Clive

    A few days vacation after finishing our first year at an Asian University (Halelujah!), I took a quick trip to a province to our south with my German bro Jeremiah, and then I started more language study 3 days/wk with a local brother who is a pastor. Another 3 days/wk, I’m doing self-study [...]

Mural on our Campus

Wednesday, June 1st, 2011 by Clive

I wanted to share with you that I’m currently writing up a proposal to do a mural on our campus with a picture that the Lord has given me together with the words “Love One Another”  in all the different languages of our university’s students (already have 16 translations!) . Please ask that: Permission is [...]

When God Breathes

Saturday, May 21st, 2011 by Clive

Happy Spring, everyone!     I have to share about something really special and beautiful that the Lord is doing in our midst recently. Here’s a glimpse:    The four middle-aged gentlemen stopped to have a look at the scene transpiring under a gazebo-like structure in the middle of a small park area on our university, [...]
