We cannot begin to explain how much we miss each and every one of you and your presence on campus! It has been a learning process for all of us as we adjust to a new normal in light of COVID-19.

Through the twists and turns of life, one of my favorite truths is found in Isaiah 26. You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in You. (v. 3) The reason we like this verse is that it offers something that we are looking for. Peace. Perfect peace. Those words grab us and we …
Harold was born on April 27, 1926, in the small town of Mountain Lake, Minnesota, the sixth of seven children. He had godly Mennonite parents who were farmers but often struggled to make ends meet. Throughout her pregnancy, his mother prayed earnestly that the child she was expecting would someday become a missionary, something she didn’t share with him until …
My wife’s cell phone vibrated with an emergency alert at 6:39 PM last night. The urgent message began with two unexpected words, “Be kind.” Wow!

I’m the third of four children (I have an older brother, an older sister, and a younger sister) and the only one of my siblings that has a relationship with Christ. Tell us a …
One of the best things about working with students at the Bible Institute is seeing a student recognize a need and an opportunity and watching them take the initiative to meet it. In recent weeks, a 2nd-year student, Asher Thompson, approached me with the idea of teaching a discipleship seminar to other 2nd year students interested both in growing in …
Dear Friends: 1 Peter 3:15 challenges us to be primed and ready to explain the hope that only comes through Jesus Christ. “But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear.” Darla and I are …
