March 2022Dear Friends in Christ, The winter months are often a bit slower and let us get caught up with things that we have had to put off, as well as prepare lessons and messages that will be used in the months ahead. However, spring has officially started and things are picking up and the […]
Once again, this year, we won’t be sending out a separate letter for the month of November s we won’t be home but spending some time with our family for Thanksgiving (and of course, some deer hunting with the kids and grandkids!) We would appreciate your prayers as we travel. This year, we will not be flying but […]
Less than 2 weeks ago, we returned from travels to spend Thanksgiving with our family. It was a good trip. Not counting potholes, the roads were clear and the weather dry. 4 times we had traffic slow and even stop because of accidents ahead. Once we drove past an accident that occurred only moments before that had severe injuries, It […]
Dear Friends in Christ In the fall of 1972, we packed up our 3 girls (later God gave us 2 more daughters and a son) and left Maryland, where we were on staff at a Christian camp. We had a tent for a home on the road and were headed for Arizona to minister to […]
Dear Friends in Christ, Each year, we try to visit our children, grandchildren and now great grandchildren that live along the east coast for Thanksgiving. Therefore , we seldom send out a letter during the month of November but combine it with our December letter. You haven’t been forgotten! Recently we both lost a family […]
Dear Friends in Christ, Early this month, we spent 4 days on the Hopi Reservation, filling in for a missionary that had to be away. No adults showed up but we had 3 teens for the teen night on Thurs. and 13 kids come to the “Kid’s Church” on Sunday afternoon. During that time, Sam […]
Dear Friends in Christ, When we sent out last month’s letter, we didn’t have any pictures to share with you from the Alaska Radio Station Project in Thorne Bay. Janet is the “family photographer” and since she wasn’t on this trip, we had to wait to get some pictures from others that were there and […]
August 2021Dear Friends in Christ, This is the last day of August so by the time you get this letter, it will be the month of September! Sorry for being so late this month, but August has been a busy time. As we mentioned in our last letter, Sam made 2 trips to Thorne Bay, […]
Dear Friends in Christ, Last month, we told you about the wild fires in our area that put us in the national news. After 2 very dry winters with little snowfall and then the lack of our annual rainy season last summer, we were in a record drought. Well, this summer, our monsoon season arrived […]
Dear Friends in Christ,Some of you that keep up with the news, have read about the forest fires in Arizona and have contacted us to ask about our safety. There is a fire southwest of Flagstaff that has several communities on standby for evacuation. However, our home is about 5 miles northeast of town and […]
May 2021Dear Friends in Christ, This past month has been a busy time around our house. We’ve had several visits in our home and even some over-nighters. There weren’t a lot of teaching or preaching engagements this month but June will make up for it. We were able to be with the Living Waters Baptist […]

To avoid skipping anyone, I am re-sending our letter so you may well get copies. Sorry-Sam & JanetApril 2021Dear Friends in Christ, This week is the final class […]
