Hotel de Dish

Posted by Peter Dishman on June 29th, 2006

This week, right as the interns were wrapping up, we had a visit from MTW’s International Director, MTW’s Mexico Director, and veteran missionary Joe Harrell. The first guy in that list, Bill Yarbrough, writes on his blog:
Thirdly, I am off to Mexico the following week to participate in the 6th annual church planters conference that […]

Elections are on Sunday here - I’ll be preaching and praying at a local church in the morning and waiting with the rest of the country in the evening to see if the Government Secretary is correct and whether we go left or right in the next six years.

A Visa Prayer

Posted by Peter Dishman on June 18th, 2006

Please pray for Ruth tomorrow as she goes to the US embassy around 9 AM (which means that she will probably have her appointment closer to 10 or 10:30) to see if she can get a visa to come to staff training in July. The embassy has graciously agreed to move her appointment up so […]

A Wedding Prayer

Posted by Peter Dishman on June 12th, 2006

This past weekend, I participated in my first wedding as a pastor. It was a wonderful opportunity to see two godly young people take solemn vows before God and man, and I look forward to the ways that God will shape and use them in the future! A few had asked for the wedding prayer […]

Keeping Up With Doug

Posted by Peter Dishman on June 8th, 2006

Doug made fun of me for my last post on his blog, so I’m going to do another post using his comments as a jumping off board…

Things are going well here down south of the border (the US/Mexico border that is). It is Thursday morning, the interns are working on their Romans Bible Study. I […]
