Happy Thanksgiving to all our readers. In America we have been celebrating Thanksgiving since 1863 when President Lincoln’s issued a proclamation establishing Thanksgiving Day.
At AGMK we do have much to be thankful for this year. We give thanks for the WI-Vim group who was our first mission team of 2009. We also are so thankful [...]

I’m back. Tomorrow is three weeks since my knee replacement surgery. Recovery has been pretty rigorous, with some hilltops and some valleys. Little by little I can assume daily life skills that other folks have been doing for me as I have been working on my recovery. No, my work is not finished, this is [...]

The sun is out in the Keweenaw. Despite the fact that it is about 16 degrees out, we are getting ready for the summer mission season.
How is that? Obviously we can’t work outside because of the cold and the 28 inches of snow on the ground (athough Mike did just that recently). [...]

Oh my (I thought — dismayed) as I looked at the date of our last entry. It has seemed like the world is swirling around us. I do apologize for not coming alongside you and keeping you up-to-date about the ministry. We have not been standing still, but we are in our quiet season. And [...]

On this day we are sitting at the end of this year — one more day to go — and ready to welcome 2009. I have been spending time with my photos and reliving so many of the activities we undertook. Looking back I am overwhelmed by the generosity of folks, the joy of [...]

ADVENT SCHEDULE
We are officially in Advent. Forget the wrapping paper that has been in the stores for weeks, or the Christmas Music that has been coming out of the store sound systems for many days. Now we can have the great anticipation of the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. As the song [...]
