A man's heart plans his way, But the LORD directs his steps. Ps. 16:9

As we reflect on 2025, we are reminded that while seasons change, the Lord does not (Hebrews 13:8). Through challenges and adjustments, He strengthens our faith, refines our trust, and reaffirms
 that He is always at work - in us, through us, and ahead of us. Reminisce with us.
January
  • MissioSERVE Alliance began the year by participating in CrossCon, an annual mission conference designed for college-aged individuals.
  • Though slated to attend, I did not due to being hospitalized with an infection. I was released after 4 days.  
February 
  • Opa time- playing with our grandkids and dog.
  • Sharing our ministry and missions.
  • Redeemed the date night Christmas present, Andrea Bocelli Concert.
March
  • Debby was invited to Togo for some missionary care opportunities.
  • Joel & Bill are at the Hope Radio station in Mango,Togo for the first time.
  • We visited the churches that have been planted.
April
  • We took the opportunity to visit Tory (sister in Christ from our church), who was in Paris at a language school in preparation for serving in Mango, Togo.
  • We wanted to be an encouragement to Tory and Mallorie (Tory's future housemate in Togo)
  • Enjoyed walks in the park together, had coffee with a view of Notre Dame, and a boat trip on the River Seine.
May
  • Simon surprised us with a visit from Virginia, He was investigating the possibilities of returning to Florida to live.
  • We enjoyed the opportunity to spend time with our grandchildren.
June
  • We were delighted to share about missions at a local church's missions conference.
  • SonRise church was invited to come to Cusco, Peru. Many opportunities to minister include a church family and marriage conference, a girls' orphanage, and after-school Bible clubs. Being at 10,000 ft and above is no joke.
July
  • The year was 1992, and friendships began on Merritt Island, Florida.
  • These many years later, we were able to be together again. We talked, we prayed, we laughed, we cried (it moved me, Bob). How grateful we are that God brings people into our lives to share life and our identity in Christ as family.
August
  • Indeed, man shall not live by bread alone, but making sourdough bread is fun and tasty.
  • These girls have been getting together for many years now.
  • Sharing time and coffee with a fellow missionary care classmate and family

  • Friends serving in Paraguay stopped by for a time of debriefing, visit, and encouragement.
October
  • The MissioSERVE Alliance Board of Directors begins investigating the potential merger/acquisition/dissolution of the ministry, and the property is subsequently put on the market.
  • Bronia and Ethan enjoy traveling.
November
  • I helped Simon move back to Florida and introduce him to Buc-ee's.
December
  • God is faithful! We've been married for 30 years. By His Grace and for His glory we pray for many more. 
  • Our whole family is together for Christmas.
  • Tory is commissioned to serve in Togo.
We are excited that you are our partners in life and ministry. Stay tuned for what God has in store for 2026! God promises to bring glory to His name!

At some point in our lifetime, you told us that you would like to follow our ministry. You told us that you would pray for us as we "GO ye......" and that you would rejoice with us as GOD moves in ways that will leave us all, in amazement at HIS greatness. Thank you for being part of our team!
