Today was lovely. The sun was shining all day and the temperature rose to about 62. Spring has finally sprung in Latvia. It is amazing how much the sunshine affects the classroom as well.
We worked on the practical application lessons today. Most of the students will never be "professional" counselors, but they can learn to apply the principles we have taught them as they give advice to their friends. So we began that process of application. Tomorrow we will actually give them a role play so they can practice the lessons. Can't wait :>))) I (Sherry) am going to be the "friend, counselee" so I will try to make it fun. Overall they seemed happy and attentive.
They only have 4 wks of classes left and their minds are tired and full of knowledge from all they have learned this year. Please pray for them today that they would be able to absorb the rest of the courses of study and that they would leave the year of study changed not just having more knowledge but having been equipped to walk out their faith. Pray for us as we finish up that we will continue to be anointed so it will bear much fruit in their lives.
PW and I are finally feeling human again.. I guess that is good since we leave for home on Saturday afternoon. Looking forward to being back and with our church family on Sunday.
I will try to post pictures tomorrow afternoon of the week. We did not tak too many since we were sick, but you will at least get to see our students.
Much love,
PW and Sherry

Day three
Wow what a difference prayers of the saints make. Thanks to your prayers PW and I woke up feeling healthy and pain free for the first time this week. Praise God.
Classes today were so much fun. In the morning session PW had a "lively" discussion with the students concerning the fallacy of our need for "self esteem" and also about the fact that no one is born with a good heart. The students have been taught in the worlds ideas while in high school so this was embedded in their thinking. PW then took them to the word of God and spent 5 hours teaching on issues of the heart and how God shows us that our hearts are always active and responding. We stressed the importance of getting to the heart issues if we want to truly help people. The days teaching ended with a session on Giving hope for lasting change. The students seemed engaged and enlightened by the end of the day.
Sherry was privileged to give the chapel devotion today and challenged the students by asking them if they were fans of Jesus or followers of Jesus.
All in all it was a good day with much interaction with the students. We are so honored to be able to spend time teaching here at the Baltic School of ministry.
The sun shone all day today and temperature rose to a lovely 60. After classes today we took a long walk and enjoyed the neighborhood in which our hotel is located.
Please pray that the next two days will be fruitful beyond our expectations.
Blessings and Much Love,
PW and Sherry

Day two
Praise God once again for giving us strength to do what He has called us to do. We are still not totally healed, but we are in process. He has assured us in prayer that He will continue to grace us with what we need to do the job assigned to us.
The teaching today went really well. PW did most of the teaching today since it was doctrinal foundation. The students were quite attentive and asked really good questions which showed they were listening. There is one particular student who is really connecting and during breaks comes up to talk one on one about things that he is struggling with. Hopefully as the week continues more will do the same.
We had an opportunity to lay down to rest for 2 hours between sessions while a local Pastor came in to teach the students. It is amazing what a difference that makes. After school today we went back to the hotel and then walked to dinner and back again. We are going to try to stay up until 10 so we can sleep through the night. Last night was not a good one since we had gone to bed at 8:30 and woke up on and off all night. Oyeeeeeeeeeeeeeee traveling is not fun at all. Nothing like home and your own bed.
Ok here are the prayer requests for tomorrow:
1. That PW's back would be totally pain free so he can think.
2. That the students hearts would be touched in a special way.
3. That our family would be protected. Adrian and Jens van broke today and it is going to be expensive to fix. Pray for wisdom, provision and peace as they deal with this new challenge.
Sorry this is so factual, but we know you understand. Hopefully tomorrow our zip will be back.
Much love,
Pw and Sherry

Day One
We are excited about this group of students. There are 22 of them and they are very engaging. While PW taught they were taking notes and looking up and intently listening. Answered questions readily and seemed generally responsive. Please pray for each one that this week they will not just gather information but will truly have heart changes.
We ate dinner at the school with the students. Soup is always a great way to end a day if you ask me. And since I was still not feeling 100 % it tasted great. We came back to our room and were in bed by 8:30. Between PW's back being out of place and me fighting the flu, we were tired.
Today is going to be a long one. We are being picked up at 7:50 and will teach all day with only a few breaks until 5. Yesterday we covered the introduction to Biblical counseling and today we will start digging into the teachings. Thanks to our friend Joe Propri who wrote this excellent life changing course.
Prayer for today;
1. PW's back continues to go into muscle spasms which make it hard to think or stand or sit or lie down..:>)) so healing would be nice.
2. The students to have open hearts.
3. For us to have some personal connections with students

Going with the Flow
I had intended to post on Saturday but came down with a flu bug which has totally wiped me out. Warfare
PW's back has gone out and he is in terrible pain, which hinders his thinking. Warfare Arrived at the school on Sunday and started to settle in the apt. provided and found out the water line broke so there was no water. Warfare Thankfully there was a lovely hotel 10 minutes away with a vacancy so we have relocated for the week. But we have learned over the years to go with the flow on the mission field. In the end the Lord always comes through in marvelous ways to manifest Himself in spite of our circumstances.
As I spent time in the word this morning, the Lord directed me to 2 Cor. 4: 16-18. Therefore, we do not lose heart, but though our outer man is decaying, yet our inner man is being renewed day by day. For momentary, light affliction is producing in us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison. While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal. Praise His name.
We win because of Him and what He has done on the cross.
It is such a comfort to know that the church is in good hands. We heard that Pastor Bill preached an excellent sermon yesterday. You can access it from our blog as well as the church website.
So we ask that you pray for us
1 To have energy and be healed
2 To speak and teach with authority and anointing and energy.
3. For the students hearts to be challenged this week and changed.
Much love,

WE have arrived safely
We arrived safely in Riga however it was an hour later than we had planned due to airport issues in Frankfurt. Our flights were wonderful and we had good seats and our luggage arrived with us.
Since our reason for coming 3 days early was to rest up and overcome our jet lag before we begin teaching on Monday, the Lord has graciously sent rain and lots of it. The rain alone has taken care of our desire to go out and sight see instead of rest. In everything give thanks for this is the will of God concerning you.. :>))) We hope to take a walk later though and enjoy this beautiful city. If we take pictures I will be sure to post them.
Thank you for your prayers for us. My computer is acting up so I would appreciate prayers that it does not die on me before I get home.

Departure
Well the day has finally arrived. We are settled in our hearts that God is sending us and has given us a message for these young people at the Bible School. To say we are excited is an understatement. These trips are so much fun and such a blessing.
Please lift up the following prayer concerns today as you think of us.
1. That there will be no delays due to the air traffic controllers layoffs.
2. That the planes we travel on will be safe.
3. That our moms will stay in good health .
4. That nothing will break at home so that the moms do not have to deal with it.
5. That our Son in law, Daughter and 5 grandchildren will be safe and healthy.
6. That our congregation is without incident, ya know like major tragedies etc.
7 We have one brother who is having major surgery on the 30th. And several who are hurting due to family issues. Please pray that God protects, heals and comforts. It is always hard to leave in these circumstances.
8. For Pastor Bill and Edie as they watch over the church while we are gone.
9. That PW has no health emergencies and that he has energy and good health. ie: no more strokes to scare me to death.. :>)))

11 Days and Counting
I cannot believe we leave in 11 days. Where does the time go? We will need your prayers as we prepare the next week. We have a full schedule of our regular ministry things plus our prep. Add to that our home maintenance and our Mothers and we are going to need tons of prayer. If you think of it please just lift us up to God daily and ask Him to give us strength and to order our steps.
Our mission to Latvia will be to teach at a one year bible school for young adults, on the topic of Biblical Counseling. This will be a relatively short trip so please pray specifically that Pw has no jet lag so he can teach without feeling tired. We will arrive three days before the school starts so he can rest up and hopefully be ready to teach on Monday. We also would like prayer that we will have lots of interaction with the students after classes and be able to minister to them one on one. So many are trying to discern what the Lord has for them in the their future so this time is important to them. Last year we had quite a few divine appointments. Also, please pray for our translators. It is important for us to be able to have good relations with them so we can flow together. Ask God to anoint them and us so the material is imparted accurately with out confusion.
It has been such a privilege to go and minister overseas. We love working with young people and are always surprised that God has given us favor with them.
On the home front, PW has been teaching a series on the one anothers at our church. The past two weeks he has been teaching on Forgiveness. If you would like to listen to these sermons you can access them through our website by pushing the button on the right of the screen.
We praise God for what he has been doing in us these past few months. It has been hard but productive.
We will start posting daily once we get in Latvia so you can pray current for us.

Truth
As we ponder the state of our nation we are amazed at the lack of integrity and truth telling by those who lead us no matter what their political party. So often partial truths are told, or details left out that if known would paint a different picture. Who can we trust? Thank God , He can be trusted. The word says He cannot lie. And the good news is that He lives in us who have surrendered our lives to Christ. As believers in Jesus it is vital that we deal in truth in all things. Ephesians 4:24 - 25 says and put on the new self, which in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of the truth. Therefore, laying aside Falsehood, speak TRUTH each one of you with his neighbor, for we are members of one another. As the days get darker and the return of the Lord gets closer, deception is going to be the norm in our society. Lets be sure that is not the case in the body of Christ. Brothers and Sisters, be truth tellers. Speak the truth in love. Be open and transparent. We are to be different than the world. Remember we represent God and will have to give an account for our words whether they are true or false. Lets bear good fruit and be sure that we are not participating in the unfruitful deeds of darkness.
Have you been truthful in your dealings with others? If not, go to them, humble yourself and ask forgiveness and if they are truly believers in Jesus, they will forgive you. God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.
And that is the TRUTH.
Much Love,
Sherry

Just like God
The Lord continues to amaze us at His provision. We recently started putting our churchs sermons online and so we sent the link to Pastor Rannie Lamento in the Philippines. He sent us this picture this morning of he and his family listening to the sermon from last Sunday. He said the Lord taught him so much that he is going to play the sermon to his congregation this Wednesday night at their prayer meeting. We are humbled but so excited over what God continues to do with this relationship with these precious brothers. And you all are part of this because of your giving and prayers, we are able to touch the nations with Gods word. Praise be to His holy name.Much love,
PW and Sherry

Mission Accomplished - Stay lag
Praise God from whom all blessings flow. Our mission trip to the Philippines was successful. We were welcomed warmly by all who attended and we will be forever changed. Here are some pictures from our last day of ministry.
Here are two of the pastors who came to the mike to ask questions after our teaching today. The questions were good and thoughtful and based on life situations that came to light as we taught. 
This is a group photo taken with us and part of our class. We are live on skype in this photo.
We had a wonderful time and Rannie said it felt like we were right there on site with them this week.
Rannie, thank you for making us feel so much apart of the ministry in your country. We treasure your friendship and look forward to the day that God will allow us to come in person to meet you and spend time with you.
We are suffering from stay - lag today that is like jet lag but since we never left home we made up this word to describe how we feel. I guess staying up until 4 each day has taken its toll.. :<)))).
Thank you to all of you who prayed and helped in any way with this "trip". Thank you especially to our church family, Chardon Christian Fellowship who has allowed us to take the time off to do this ministry. We love you and appreciate you more than you will ever know.
Much love,
PW and Sherry

| PW and Sherry team teaching on communication skills needed to resolve conflict |
At the end of the day, Rannie asked if anyone wanted to share a testimony of what the Lord had done in their lives this past week. We were humbled beyond words as many came up to share what teachings God had used in their lives. One Pastors Wife came to testify that she had repented because for the past two years she has had a bitter spirit and had been a bad wife who nagged and criticized her husband. They have reconciled and are talking and now have the tools necessary to resolve the conflicts they have had. God is so faithful. Several of the men shared how they had realized that they had not known how to love their wives before the seminar but now knew how to do this. One young woman who is a newlywed said the teaching on being her husbands helper was life changing and she will now be able to stand along side of him as a real helper in life. We ended this time praying for all of them and then they prayed for us.

Day 2 Philippine Staymission
We have officially ended day 2 of our ministry in the Philippines. We decided to call it a staymission kind of like a staycation since we are doing this from home. The Lord has so graciously met with us and caused the Internet connection to be fairly strong. We do have to have them turn off their video though so that the signal is clearer so we are basically hearing them and looking at a blank computer screen. Very unnerving at first as you can see by the look on Sherry's face, but these brothers and their wives are so interactive with amens and laughs and shouts and comments that it helps greatly. Each one we have spoken to has ministered to us just by their humility and hunger for the truth. Please pray for us tonight as this will be our last day of the seminar. PW will teach on Resolving conflict tonight which is so applicable in any culture. We find that couples fight the same all over the world and usually about the same types of issues just in a different context. So prayer will be most appreciated. Below are some pictures for you to enjoy.
When we think of the lives that will be touched as these Pastors now teach their churches about Gods plan for marriage we are humbled beyond words. To God be the glory.
Much Love,
PW and Sherry

Philippine Mission Trip from Chardon 2013
Our unusual trip began Saturday night as we ministered to Pastor Rannie Lamentos' congregation Hingagdanan Christian Fellowship on the island of Mindanao. What an exciting time this as been. We have loved these people from the first time we were contacted by Pastor Rannie. So here are some pictures from their Sunday and our Saturday night.
On Monday morning ( Sunday evening in the states ) we began teaching our Marriage seminar to 70 pastors and their wives. They will in turn teach the truths to their individual churches. We consider it such an honor to speak into their lives. The internet connection was excellent and we pray it will be that way again this evening as we minister. Below are the pictures from that ministry.

The Last Time
James 4:14 - 15 Yet you do not know what your life will be like tomorrow. You are just a vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes away. Instead, you ought to say, "If the Lord wills , we will live and do this or that. " The reality of this hit home to us onJan 5 at 9:18 a.m. Wayne had a stroke. At the time it was a surreal experience. I was not thinking of anything but getting him the help he needed and trusting God to take care of the details. Thankfully all the tests are coming back normal showing no damage from this event, he is back to normal for the most part except that he is very tired and is needing to change his lifestyle. As I pondered the whole experience I became rather melancholy. My thoughts turned to the last things we did together before this happened. So I want to encourage you to think a bit. Someday you will say good morning to your loved ones for the last time, you will fix them a last meal or go to work the last time, you will have your last argument, say you love them the last time, make love for the last time, give a gift the last time, hug them the last time, say good night for the last time. My question is how do you want them to remember the last time? Do you get the point? Life is truly a vapor and we have so little time to make a difference, lets commit our ways to the Lord and trust Him to manifest Jesus in and through us so that we will have no regrets.

Philippine visit
Well we just returned from the Philippines and never left our home for a minute. Thanks to modern technology, we have had the joy of speaking to our friend Pastor Rannie Lamento and his congregation, Hinagdanan Christian Fellowship. As you know we have been corresponding back and forth via email and the love in our hearts for this brother and his wife Rosemarie and his congregation has grown stronger and stronger. Today God has granted us the privilege to speak to them almost in person.
In January we will be ministering to them on a Sunday presenting the word of God for their Thanksgiving Celebration and then we will be holding a 3 day Marriage Seminar for Pastors and Wives all via skype.
Please keep this time in prayer. First of all for Gods anointing, then for a good skype connection with no echo or delay in speech and finally that there will be no electrical blackouts. Pray also for the Pastors and Wives coming that they would leave changed and with their marriages refreshed.
Thank you to all of you who support this ministry either through prayer or finances. It means so much to us and we want you to know that you will share in the fruit produced from these times.
Merry Christmas to you all as you celebrate the birth of the Lamb who was slain before the foundation of the world. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Jesus the most wonderful name we know. Praise Him, Live for Him, Serve Him.
