When we rely on organization, we get what organization can do. When we rely upon education, we get what education can do. When we rely on eloquence, we get what eloquence can do. But when we rely on the Holy Spirit, we get what God can do. A. C. Dixon We are learning the lesson […]

Your Calling is Yours. My Calling is Mine. All Glory to God!
From time to time I have had people tell me, “ I could never do what you do.” Whether the obstacle for that person is leaving family, travelling by plane for over 24 hours, doing so with young kids, living in a place without “such and such,” evangelism, or something else, the point is well […]
Creative Solutions
I know many of you enjoy The Chosen series as I do. The scene depicted below is one I love because it weaves all the characters together. This is one of my favorite bible stories because it teaches us that there is often a way around obstacles stopping us from introducing people to Jesus! Nothing […]
Oh My Word!?
Another word (besides “technoclete”) has been coined under Para Tech! Except in this case, it all took place in the dream of one of our close friends. So, in actuality, it is really her word. The word? Re-biding! In my friend’s dream she was asking what I am doing upon leaving Guam. Apparently, I cleverly […]
Missionary Resources
I am happy to share a few resources for missionaries that have been very helpful to us over the last year! Maybe you, or someone you know, can benefit from one of these ministries: There wouldn’t be adequate words to share how helpful the Alongside retreat center (Richland, MI) is for those who are processing […]
Dooby Dooby Do
During the Alongside retreat we attended in Michigan, there was one presentation with a very catchy title: Dooby Dooby Do. We had no idea what that meant but it turns out that it was actually a very profound truth they were conveying with this silly phrase.
Keeping Short Accounts
One of the critical projects that Para Tech Ministries completed recently was identifying and removing a network device that had become compromised. The wireless access point had changed from its original design and was negatively affecting the other computers on the network so that they couldn’t communicate correctly. The small code change within the device […]
Refreshing Others
“Generous persons will prosper; those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed.” (Proverbs 11:25) We know some people who will be refreshed! Those who sent us on our way with words of encouragement, donations and prayer! A dear brother and sister who gave us a place to stay as we were transitioning. Several talented “technoclete” […]
Pieces of a Puzzle
You’ve probably seen it: a pile of puzzle pieces that doesn’t look like anything special…Until you begin to put the pieces together one by one. Some puzzles are so beautiful when complete that people wish to frame them. God connects people and events together in order to carry out His sovereign plan. And it is […]
God Never Wastes an Experience
God has a way of bringing things around full circle. He can do this because He is sovereign over all things, and He knows the beginning and the end. Back in the late 80s Doug started his engineering career in fire alarms …. In other words “life safety” work. The fire alarm panel that he […]
