This is the story of my years in Paraguay. As I look back on my life, I realize that it has been a rather interesting one. Therefore, I thought I would tell my story. In this day and age, with print on demand and eBooks, anyone can become a published author. So why not me? It only takes time, and I seem to have a lot of it disposable now that I’m retired. There are a couple of caveats I need to add here at the beginning. One, these are my memories and, as such, may not be entirely reliable. As with most people, I have a tendency to remember some things and forget others. I, also, don’t ...

Como humanos somos entes sociables. Nuestras organizaciones también lo son. Por lo tanto, nosotros creamos oportunidades para relacionarnos los unos con los otros. Este libro habla de una de esas entidades – la asociación bautista. El propósito de una asociación es ayudar que los miembros de la asociación – las iglesias – tengan oportunidad para trabajar, confraternizar, y cumplir sus propósitos mejor. La asociación no toma el lugar de una iglesia, la ayuda para que pueda realizarse mejor. El propósito de este libro es ayudar a las iglesias formar asociaciones las cuales ...

This book started with a simple question, “Do you know enough about your ancestors to write a book?” As a result of that question, I began to pull together the information I knew about my family. This historical fiction story is the result of that labor. Although James is an actual person, his early life is in doubt. There is even doubt about his birthplace. In 1880 when his children listed their father’s birthplace: James Alexander wrote Massachusetts; America Frances wrote New York; Charles William wrote Maine; John Samuel wrote New York. He traveled to Alabama and partner with ...

This is my story or at least the college and early marriage years of it. As I look back on my life, I realize that it has been a rather interesting one. Therefore, I thought I would tell my story. There are a couple of caveats I need to add here at the beginning. One, these are my memories and, as such, may not be entirely reliable. As with most people, I have a tendency to remember some things and forget others. I, also, don’t necessarily remember it the way it really was, but the way, well, I remember it. I have asked some of those “who were there” to read over what I have written ...

El crecimiento de las ciudades latinoamericanas en los últimos años continúa empeorando una situación que tiene sus raíces tanto en la cultura española como la indígena. El latinoamericano ve en la ciudad su única esperanza para el futuro. Esto ha resultado en que 30% o más de la población se haya concentrado en la ciudad más grande del país, típicamente la capital. Si el propósito de nuestro evangelismo es ganar a América Latina para Cristo tendremos que elaborar algunas metodologías y sistemas a través de los cuales podemos alcanzar estas gigantescas ciudades y la gente ...

Taking a trip can be memorable. Taking a trip to Israel can be life changing. Taking a group on a trip to Israel can be transformative. The purpose of this book is to facilitate those wishing to take a group to Israel. It can be a scary venture putting together a tour group and the desire of this book is to take some of the fear out of this process. The secondary purpose of this book is to make the trip memorable and pleasurable for all those who go. Often the leader is so engulfed in details that all the joy is sucked right out of the trip. It need not be so and the book will help make ...

The tremendous growth of Latin American cities in the last few years has continued to aggravate a situation that has its roots in both the Spanish and Indian cultures. The Latin American, even more than the North American of the last century, has viewed the city as his one and only hope for a future. This has led to a concentration of 30% or more of the population of any given country being packed together in and around the largest city, usually the capital. If we are going to win Latin America for Christ, then we need to develop some methods and systems whereby we can reach out to these ...

The world is changing around us. We can sit back and watch the world take over or we can actively channel our energies so as to weave the new fabric of the Kingdom. We need to understand that as we are networking we are “netweaving” with God this new Kingdom fabric He has designed for us. In this way, we can begin the process of helping create and develop God’s preferred future for all mankind rather than sitting back and watching it happen.

A rash of ministry professionals, particularly young ministers, who took their own life prompted me to write this book at this time. It would seem that the clouds of depression had so overwhelmed them they did not see any solution but removing themselves from the equation. The letter at the end reflects on my struggle. Under other circumstances, I might have been one of those statistics. In their most difficult moments, a profession designed to help others was not there to help them or me through the turmoil. I pray that books like this one will stem the tide of this terrible epidemic. The ...

In these few pages, I would like to set forth some ideas of my own. Most of these ideas are not new in themselves. Many are only an adaptation of what other missions are and have done in the past. I do not want these ideas to be construed as the final product but only ideas that need to be discussed and matured before they can be totally useful to the Spanish scene. Those ideas I have gathered from other areas are adapted to meet the specific need as I see it in Spain. Besides these proposals I have also included an Appendix at the end with some information concerning literature, as well as...
