Kenya School Update – Dec 2014
Yesterday’s message “Our Spiritual Walls” talked about the time when Nehemiah returned to Jerusalem to rebuild the city walls. In the process he realized the great need to also mend and strengthen the spiritual walls of the people. This is the perfect message to lead us into an update on our work in Kenya. Two […]

Kenya School Needs
We have made great progress on our school in Kenya. The wood trusses for the roof are almost complete and we have the funds to purchase about 25% of the necessary iron sheets. We are lacking about $5000 to see this project through to completion. Please pray about how you might join us in this […]
Ministry Updates – March
The big news from Kenya this month is that we were finally able to begin construction of the school in the fishing village of Gudwa, on the shore of Lake Victoria. This is very exciting as we have been waiting until the land transfer could be completed. God’s Daily Word – Kenya is now an […]
Ministry Update – Gudwa
In the last two Ministry Update messages, I have focused on the work being done in the area of Mathare, outside of Nairobi, Kenya. Those messages can be found at: http://gdwm.org/index.php/category/end-of-year-2013/ In this message I want to give an update on our work in the small fishing village of Gudwa, on the shore of Lake […]
Ministry Update – Active Love
In the message “Active Love” we considered our call to love with more than just words. Our words are certainly important, and we are to “encourage one another daily, as long as it is called ‘Today,’ so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness” (Hebrews 3:13). But we are being called to […]
Ministry Updates
During the month of December I will be sending out several messages which will highlight what you, through your prayers and financial support of this ministry, have been doing in 2013. God’s Daily Word Ministries is focused in two main areas of ministry. One area is internet based through email and web site devotions as […]
Dance of Thanksgiving
Today is Thanksgiving in the United States. I know this isn’t a global holiday, but perhaps you will forgive me if I use this day to write a special Thanksgiving message. This has been a difficult year for our family. In fact, the first five months were the most difficult of my life. Many of […]
Running for Cancer
On December 7th, five members of our family will be running to raise money for St. Jude Children’s Cancer Research Hospital in Memphis Tennessee. Many thanks to those who have already supported this cause! We are very near our fund raising goal, but your help would push us over the top. Our thirteen year old […]
Cancer Update
Wow! What a difference six months can make. Six months ago our 13 year old daughter, Kaylee, had been diagnosed with an advanced stage of ovarian cancer and we were struggling through surgeries and several rounds of chemotherapy. We shaved her head on her birthday in March, she rarely smiled, and it was a struggle […]
Riding For Cancer – Update
This week was my best, and last difficult, bike training week. I was able to ride 300 miles in four consecutive days which is only 28 miles less than the actual American Cancer Society ride in Ohio, beginning in two and a half weeks. My legs are quite sore but I’m pleased I was able […]
Complete Restoration – Stacey Update
Many years ago I wrote a series of messages from the parable of the prodigal son. In this series we saw a rebellious son who took his inheritance, squandered it on wild living, and ended up eating with the pigs. But when the son returned home, the father met him with open arms: “Bring the […]
