Whats New?

Posted on October 28, 2022October 28, 2022 by bfadmin

Hello to all. So sorry its been so long that we have blogged. Between 10-12 hour days as a UXO Tech travelling all over the country, we have been kept very busy. We spent last November through February in Mojave, CA working a job.

Then a brief job in Flagstaff AZ at Maroon Crater, an old army artillery range.

Then, where we are now at UTTR Utah Test and Training Range. Has been an adventure here as the weather was hot until just a few weeks ago. It went from summer to winter with no fall. Glad I brought my Alaska gear. Long days and lots of miles every day.

Deborah and I celebrated our 17th anniversary 09-17-2022. Its amazing to think we have been married that long, seems like just yesterday we were shoving cake in each others face at

Community Bible Church in Jackson Hole, WY.

Also on our anniversary something else happened. I started having what felt like heartburn, accompanied with shortness of breath. It lasted about 15 minutes, and stopped. The next day after getting to do worship at our little fellowship here in W Wendover NV, I started having the same “heartburn” sensation with shortness of breath. Although this time it didn’t go away. Deborah drove me to Tooele UT Medical Center, and they admitted me quickly. They did an ultrasound of my heart, and some blood tests and very quickly determined that I had recently had a heart attack. They sent me by ambulance me to University of Utah Medical Center which has a cardio unit. They determined by ultrasound that my Central Artery in my heart was 95%-99% blocked. 3 hours later they had me in surgery getting 2 stents put in. I woke up in my room with the biggest headache I have ever had. I was released the following Thursday with a really good prognosis. At my age my heart is supposed to be pumping at 55% volume, and it was pumping at 53%, stents, valves everything working. So I was ordered to be off work for a month, and to get my P/T by walking. Starting small and working up. Towards about 2 weeks I was going 3 miles and my BP and Pulse were better than they have been in many many years. One day I went 5 miles, and my legs felt like they we bruised. Remember I am expected to be able to walk on rough terrain for about 10 miles a day for my job, which has never been a problem. So 10/24/2022 I was released back to work and we walked 5.5 miles through some pretty amazing sand dunes on the border of Dugway Range. My BP / Pulse were great, no shortness of breath, but my legs burned to the point I could hardly walk. Next day we only went about 3 miles, and by the time I got home I was hunched over and felt 100 years old. Next morning I couldn’t stand and my legs, hips and knees were completely weakened. I made an appointment with my PCP here in Wendover and she got me in that afternoon. That’s one advantage of living in a tiny town 🙂

She decided my hearts fine but one of the meds, a statin, was causing Myalgia. Extreme pain in joints below the waist and lower spine. She did some blood tests to see if its short term, mid term, or forever term. The results are not back yet but as of today I can barely walk a mile without pain.

Seems like God is saying my UXO Days are coming to a close. We have been praying fervently about whats next and God seems to be saying Luke 10.

LUKE 10:1

After this the Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them two by two ahead of him to every town and place where he was about to go. 2 He told them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field. 3 Go! I am sending you out like lambs among wolves. 4 Do not take a purse or bag or sandals; and do not greet anyone on the road.

5 “When you enter a house, first say, ‘Peace to this house.’ 6 If someone who promotes peace is there, your peace will rest on them; if not, it will return to you. 7 Stay there, eating and drinking whatever they give you, for the worker deserves his wages. Do not move around from house to house.

8 “When you enter a town and are welcomed, eat what is offered to you. 9 Heal the sick who are there and tell them, ‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.’ 10 But when you enter a town and are not welcomed, go into its streets and say, 11 ‘Even the dust of your town we wipe from our feet as a warning to you. Yet be sure of this: The kingdom of God has come near.’ 12 I tell you, it will be more bearable on that day for Sodom than for that town.

The Lord said this to me yesterday in my morning reading:

1 Thessalonians 4:11

And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you;

12 That ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that ye may have lack of nothing.

We are not sure where to start with those Words, but it seems like we must. Also a while ago Deborah was struggling with the Lord over her Spiritual Gifting. The Lord said plainly to her and me that He gave us Beautiful Feet! Made me giggle …

Isaiah 52:7

How beautiful upon the mountains Are the feet of him who brings good news, Who proclaims peace, Who brings glad tidings of good things, Who proclaims salvation, Who says to Zion, “Your God reigns!”

Seems like the verses all fit, but we are still not sure how to start, unless we just start. So it seems that we may be starting a new season soon. God told us when we got back to America in 2014 that He was going to do a new new thing in our lives. It has taken us a while to get here. I am grateful for UXO, there were many techs that would never have heard about Jesus. Please join us in continuous prayer for them that we see their smiling faces in heaven. Also we put the bus on the market to try and get something larger that we can actually live in, please pray for that to take place.

Pray for us that we have clear direction from the Lord about all that he has been saying.

We love you all and are blessed to have you praying for us.

Covid and beyond …

Posted on October 15, 2020October 15, 2020 by bfadmin

October 2020

Both Deborah and I apologize for not blogging sooner. As you will see from the miles traveled and God’s work in our lives, that the time it takes to write a blog post has been consumed in events. It is amazing that the directive God gave us in the beginning of this “mission trip” painted on the rock that was left on our doorstep in Oregon (A lost world needs to see our God …) is manifesting itself in everyday life. Looking back to that day when God said GO! We didn’t know where we were going to end up, or whether we would have a roof over our heads, or where the next meal was coming from, etc, etc… But we were, and are resolute to follow the Lord wherever He leads in whatever he commands. From our perspective we are now able to see Gods direction in our lives, the ministry He has given us in these difficult times, and by following the breadcrumbs He has left us we are on the right track. That doesn’t mean that we know any more than 24 hours in advance, 1 or 2 months at a time where we will be or end up. But that seems to be God’s will for Craig and Deborah.

Mathew 6:34

³⁴Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof4

We are missionaries. God has called us to that. We follow Him. We are tent-maker-folk, providing for this ministry by what God gives us through work, and blessings from you all. In the stories of events in our lives since covid, I hope you will see God moving in our lives, we are encouraged and hope you will be too.

Tulik Mt. Umnak Island, AK Home for 2 months.

Covid entered our lives in March of 2020 when my job as a UXO Tech I in AZ ended with a text “because of covid-19 we are discontinuing work at Barry M Goldwater Range”. We had 24 hours notice. Both Deborah and I took it as God giving us the time to replace not repair the bus engine, but because of the timing we were not initially prepared to get it done. After much prayer, I got the engine ordered and with the help of everyone in our campground in AZ, got it installed..

new-bus-engine — Brand new 1776 VW bus engine installed in AZ.

(Thanks to all of you who helped with the cost of a new engine, we could not have done it without you). After the work in AZ was closed, I signed on with a new company and my first assignment was Umnak Island AK. Deborah could not go as Umnak is remote, so after 15 years of marriage and working together, God had given me an assignment separate from my wife. It was a difficult thing to depart from my proverbs 31 wife for several months as we have always worked side by side, in everything. I realized that we were still side by side, working forward to what God has called us to, only separated by 3 time zones! It was a difficult endeavor, but with God’s help we persevered. We learned that being tentmaker-folk, I could go gather funds to pay for the tent, and my wife could stay home and manage the tent. After all, we are still partners in tent-making. Praise The LORD!

On Umnak, separated from my wife, civilization, internet, and living with only about 40 people on a remote Aluetion island, I learned that I was one of only 3 Christian men in that group. A brand new Christian, an older brother in the Lord, and me, somewhere in the middle. Lifelong relationships were developed on the remote island. God used me as witness to a captive audience (literally captive), with me having to speak few words. Just as the word says in 2 Corinthians 2:14-17, it is the way ministry in America works at present, as it is in other countries that are persecuting Christians.

2 Corinthians 2:14-17
Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place. For we are to God the fragrance of Christ among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing. To the one we are the aroma of death leading to death, and to the other the aroma of life leading to life. And who is sufficient for these things? For we are not, as so many, peddling the word of God; but as of sincerity, but as from God, we speak in the sight of God in Christ.

50-cal — .50 Caliber machine gun from WW2 on Umnak Island, AK.

Please pray for my coworkers on Umnak Island, there are those who heard the WORD and may listen, and there are those who heard the WORD and won’t listen

When Umnak was complete, we were shipped off to Virgina beach VA. Not someplace I would choose to go, but God is faithful to work in and through us as we follow His direction. Like Umnak there are those who would hear God’s word and act on it, and those who hear and choose to ignore it. The work here is hot, muddy, filled with ticks mosquitoes and lots of stuff in the ground that goes boom, but this is what God has given us to do. To be faithful witnesses in the world. It is a very unusual thing to see a 61 year old man digging up things that go boom next to 20 + year olds. Lots of them ask, why are you smiling, what is the joy in you? (why are you happy all the time?).

KJB 2 Corintians 4:1-7
Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not; But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God. But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake. For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;

So as we venture forth in the day to day joy of following the Lord, please pray for us as the next job is Indianhead MD. It will be cold, wet, full of surprises, but no matter how I feel, how hard it may be to continue, we are following Him. The Joy of the Lord is our strength!

NKJV Nehemiah 8:10
Then he said to them, “Go your way, eat the fat, drink the sweet, and send portions to those for whom nothing is prepared; for this day is holy to our Lord. Do not sorrow, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.”

God Bless You, and thanks for praying.

Its working!

Where are we now ?

Posted on March 30, 2020 by bfadmin

Grace and Peace to You From The Lord Jesus Christ.

As we move deeper in the the Covid-19 crisis, I am compelled to write down some observations. I look around me and I see fear; fear of sickness, fear of the unknown, fear of people that have seasonal allergies, fear of hugs and friendships, fear of joblessness.

If you are a Christian and you are reading this I hope that you will be encouraged in Christ. This will be a lot of scripture but we need to be reminded that our help is from the Lord, not the government and not the medical community.

In Christ we are Groaning but Hopeful!

Romans 8:18-39
18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. 19 For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God. 20 For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope; 21 because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of [f]corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. 22 For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now. 23 Not only that, but we also who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body. 24 For we were saved in this hope, but hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one still hope for what he sees? 25 But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance.
26 Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession [g]for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. 27 Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God.
28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. 29 For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified.
Suffering yet LOVED!
31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? 33 Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. 34 Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us. 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it is written:
“For Your sake we are killed all day long;
We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.”
37 Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. 38 For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, 39 nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Given what we need by the One that OWNS ALL THINGS!

Matthew 6:24-34
24 “No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and [i]mammon.
25 “Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? 27 Which of you by worrying can add one [j]cubit to his [k]stature?
28 “So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; 29 and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not [l]arrayed like one of these. 30 Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
31 “Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
Therefore we can be content and thankful knowing that God is caring for us.

Philippians 4:6-20

6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
8 Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things. 9 The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you.
10 But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now at last your[c] care for me has flourished again; though you surely did care, but you lacked opportunity. 11 Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content: 12 I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. 13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
14 Nevertheless you have done well that you shared in my distress. 15 Now you Philippians know also that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church shared with me concerning giving and receiving but you only. 16 For even in Thessalonica you sent aid once and again for my necessities. 17 Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the fruit that abounds to your account. 18 Indeed I [g]have all and abound. I am full, having received from Epaphroditus the things sent from you, a sweet-smelling aroma, an acceptable sacrifice, well pleasing to God. 19 And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. 20 Now to our God and Father be glory forever and ever. Amen.
Know that God is with us even if we lose everything and that He is working for our good, we need to remember to give Him glory.

This is for my encouragement as well. All this being said I also believe that Satan is trying to use the virus to his advantage, measures have been put in place to prohibit the gathering of believers and the corporate worship of God, we must not stop worshiping God just because we are unable to meet. Satan looses ground every time someone is in prayer and worship.

We Are God’s Witnesses….
I have been impressed by the fact that a witness is a person that has seen something and is asked to testify in court. Now we are God’s witnesses, that means that God will put you (if you are a Christian) in places and situations so that you can see and testify to the work that He has done. Over the years we have been led down a road to see things that God has done. Most of the time we like to focus on the things we see as good or exciting, but God also does things that seem hard to us.

We were in Japan on 03/11/2011, the day the earthquake, the tsunami and the Fukushima reactors blew up. Being in the 2nd or 3rd largest earthquake that has ever happened, the earthquake made us more aware of the increase of earthquakes around the world. We got to see China move back to a closed nation, as the government has become more and more hostile to Christianity and other religions. We moved to the west coast of America and got to see the death that came to the sea life, do to radiation from Fukushima. We saw the lack of concern for the Laws of God; legal drugs, cross dressing, homelessness on the rise, no love for people, and an evil obsession with comfort and entertainment that leads to murder, abortion, extra marital relations, divorce, and the list goes on….

All of these things and more have led me to believe that the world is under the judgment of God and we are in the last days. I’m not surprised that we are here. But how should we live in this time? If God is judging, how can we stand? The Bible is clear God always judges his people first, as Christians we need to humble ourselves and repent of our sinful ways, our friendship with the world, our love for things that we know don’t please God. We can’t walk in sin and expect God to give us a free pass just for believing in Jesus, God believes in spanking His kids, just read Hebrews 12. We don’t get the Willy Wonka Golden Ticket out of here just because we think we are good enough. STUDY TO SHOW THYSELF APPROVED, and the answers for this time will make themselves apparent.

The Fight is On!
I know that many of you that will read this, will disagree with what I’m about to say, but please listen. We are told of the beast system in Revelation, and in Daniel, and it does say that at the end Satan and his angels will be cast down to the earth and that they will have great wrath as they know that their time is short. I believe that the Covid-19 virus maybe used as a means to implement that global system. All of the technology is in place , the sinfulness of mankind is at a high level. They can implant a chip under the skin to track everything we do based on a vaccine that you may need to fight COVID-19, and are ready to do so. On September 23, 2017 the sign of Revelation 12 happened. Plagues are happening all over the earth; grasshoppers, hail, flooding, asteroids, earthquakes, wars, rumors of wars, waters turning to blood, and meteors are on the rise. Jesus told us that this time would come, but many in the church are not ready to face this world with the beast on the rise, we have been told that the rapture will happen first and that we should not fear what Satan can do. Now part of that is true, Jesus told us not to fear the one that could kill the body and then could not send us to hell, but we are not to underestimate the power that Satan has over this world. I believe that God would not have told us of the mark if we didn’t have to face it at sometime. It is important for us to consider a world where as Christians we will not be able to function without denying Christ. Our HOPE is in Christ. We know how this ends, Christ has already won the battle at the Cross, but these last times are going to be hard.

Here are some links to things you should read. Don’t be surprised …

Why is this happening?

Daily World ACCURATE numbers of COVID-19.

NYC Mayor to synagogues and churches: Close for coronavirus or be shut down permanently.

The Mark of the Beast …

How did we get here, (FAKE NEWS?!?)

Revelation 12 sign. If you haven’t see this, you need to.

Pray Hard,

Dependence or Independence?

Posted on March 10, 2020 by bfadmin

If you ask most Americans if they rather would be dependent or independent, I think you will find the most popular answer to be independent. Independence means that I am able to to take care of myself, I want to not need help in anything I do. I can do it alone. The “American Dream?” is centered around starting at the bottom, working your way up, and having enough money to buy something to live in and retire. (Kind of like pride?)

I may be showing my age here, (that’s OK, Almost 61) but that is what my parents instilled in me for 40 Years. That is what I was raised upon. However my grandparents escaped the Hitler youth, and communism, and met on a boat that they happened to stow away on, by chance? Together, fleeing WW2, they came to America with great hope in freedom, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Both of my grandparents were hardcore believers in Christ, and left all to follow what they believed was His will. That they were dependent upon Christ for their outcome, completely, and totally.

Depending on Christ for our outcome will always get us to the right place. Being independent of Christ will always get us to the wrong place. Thank GOD they prayed for me!

Think about that for a second. Are you dependent on Christ or are you independent of Him? I must confess that at least my tendencies lately, wrongly lead toward independence. When Deborah and I left for China, we thought we had everything we needed for a year (So much for our planning.). We were there for 4 months, and realized that we were going to be broke in about 3 weeks. We sat down outside our 380 square foot apartment in Hong Kong, and started to cry. GOD, why did you bring us here, are you just going to abandon us 7000 miles from where we were?

OF COURSE NOT! The Lord said …

The very next day, all of the funds we needed for everything (rent, food, utilities) showed up in our mail box. I knew God knew we needed it, they must have been sent weeks earlier to get there on the day we cried out. BUT THEY GOT THERE! God showed His faithfulness, by giving us everything we needed for 8 years in China. What an amazing God we serve …

Since we returned from China, 10-14-2014, we struggled in a country we did not know anymore, trying to take care of homeless folks who didn’t want dependence upon Christ, but independence from Him. Not just homeless folks, but most people in America these days seem to want to be independent from the Lord. That Idea was so totally foreign to us it took a while for it to set in. There is only freedom in Christ. If the Son sets you free you are free indeed!

After the Mission closed in 2018, we fervently prayed for directions and a plan from the Lord that wast just what we wanted to do. God gave me a vision during my quiet time in the morning that we were to come to Arizona, there was a church praying for us to come. It was real, WE didn’t question it, (although some of our church brethren did). So we put all of our important things in storage, gave everything else away, and piled into the bus, and headed south.

There have been so many times when the bus broke down on the way to Arizona, and I always reverted, to (I Know Why, I can fix it), that I became complacent that I could always fix it. Isn’t that the truth, that we become so dependent on ourselves instead of God, that we think we can do it all by ourselves?

There were times back in the day, homeless in the bus when a spring would blow on the distributor, and I had a quarter in my pocket, and would cry out to the Lord and He would TELL me what to do. I was completely dependent on Him. In my tears walking miles to the hardware store, trying or find a spring for my distributor for a quarter. Well, after 4 or so miles, there was a hardware store (a really old one) that had springs of all sizes, and I bought one for 24 cents. I even got a penny change. Walking back, not knowing if the spring would work, if it was the right size, just crying out to God in helplessness, I got back to the bus. The spring fit, and lasted at least 5 more years!

There are many more blogs to find out the sequence of events after Oregon, but now after school, many attacks have come from the enemy on us and the bus, and we are here, and we know we are going the right way.

The bus has issues I cant fix without being dependent upon the LORD. (This is a new reason for the Lord to blow up the bus!) My work that we came for is going to be over before it was supposed to be (April, incited of May) which won’t allow us to pay off all of our debt from school.

I think the Lord has us right where He wants us to be, DEPENDENT on Him. It’s His bus, car, job, whatever. What do we have that He has not given us. Naked we came into the world, and naked we shall leave it. PRAISE THE LORD, Please pray that we are able to become more dependent upon the LORD, and not become independent of Him. I would rather be without a bus, or a car, or anything, but I will endeavor never to become independent from HIM, again, ever…

AMEN …

Tent-Maker Folk

Posted on February 8, 2020February 9, 2020 by bfadmin

So Sorry it has been so long since we have blogged. School at Texas A&M Engineering Extension (TEEX) was brutal. Classes were 10 hours a day for 4 weeks, plus I had to get home eat dinner (THANKS to Deborah), wake up at 2:30AM (Thanks to Deborah) to do the homework and leave for school at 6:30AM the next day. On top of that the bus threw a valve the moment we arrived in Bryan TX. Through the LORDS provision I had 2 classmates staying where we were so I didn’t need to worry about trying to fix the bus while in school, I just rode with them. Praise HIM who provides for all of our needs.

So just for clarity’s sake, here are some of the finer point of our mission summed up in a few comments. There seems to be a pattern forming.

If you start at the beginning of the blogs, in 2018, you will see that the LORD had given us a vision/calling after the OGM closed to come to Southern AZ. (ROCK SOLID – The world needs to see our God). With no real idea why, we packed up, stored stuff, and piled in the bus and left Oregon. Trials and tribulations started immediately (please read previous blogs), but that is really how it goes when you are following Christ isn’t it?. I seemed to have forgotten that.

After many failed attempts to look for JUST jobs, GOD reminded us that we are missionaries, and we are to perform that work wherever we are, or whatever we are doing. So here we are, missionaries to the lost in the UXO Profession. Mostly military folk that have been dishonorably discharged, or honorably discharged and/or retired Military folk. Being a missionary in USA government services is exactly like when we were in Mongolia, you cant evangelize until you are asked why do you live like this, or why don’t you talk like this, or why can’t you do you have to tell the truth about something we saw or did or whatever….? Once someone asks though, I am free to speak. That is my queue to be able to talk about our LORD of Lords , KING of kings, JESUS…

Matthew 10

“Whatever I tell you in the dark,speak in the light; and what you hear in the ear, preach on the housetops. And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. Are not two sparrows sold for a copper coin? And not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father’s will. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.

Confess Christ Before Men “Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven. But whoever denies Me before men, him I will also deny before My Father who is in heaven.

People remember from last years work that I am a Christian, and some folks ridicule that, and some folks come in private and ask me for prayer for something in their lives. Praise GOD FOR BOTH. There will always be folks who ridicule us for being Christians, and there will always be the ones who recognize that there is something different about us, thanks to the HOLY SPIRIT.

So we have become truly tent-maker folk,

I get paid for the work I do, and through the Body of Christ we are able to get what we don’t have. UXO work is mostly short term, and I could work at 1 location for a month, or for a year, and not really know where the LORD is sending us next. But it is the LORD who is Truly sending us. God has called us back to the USA to be missionaries to a lost country. We believe time is short, and we will do whatever GOD calls us to do, or go wherever HE sends, with whatever means He gives us in pursuit of helping lost folks enter HIS Kingdom. I pray every day for all the folks I work with that I will get to see their smiling face in heaven.

Please Pray for;

Funds to put a new engine in the Bus. (not just fix it).

Jobs to happen where God would have us be there for Him.

Safety from the hazards of walking through the Sonora National Monument, one foot at a time. (2 milion acres of Snakes, Cartel folk, smugglers, and whatever else may come up..)

That we would be faithful to God’s calling wherever it is. (America, Middle East, or ?…)

Blessings
