Ecuadorian Abel Chafla takes us inside the mind and heart of distraught father. Jesus’ words to the father, “Everything is possible for one who believes,” inspired this reaction, “I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!” Mark‬ ‭9:23,24. They also inspire each of us with our impossible life moments.

Cuban Makel Zamora began his sermon telling the story of his minister who taught him what it means to sacrifice for others - the primary theme of Mark 8: 31-38. This minister travels 20 miles early in the morning in an old bicycle to preach at 9 am, to then travel another 20 miles to preach in another congregation. He frequently bikes 40 miles just to find juice for the Lord Supper. He did this without any financial support; he did it out of love for others. “When he asked us work with him in the church, we were very willing to serve with one lived his life sacrificing for others. #baxterpreachingclass #baxtercuba View his sermon here - https://fb.watch/6aavLU8v2N/ (at Baxter Institute) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQMoT8Qp74e/?utm_medium=tumblr

Friday we took time with the faculty and administration to celebrate the birthday of our brother Miguel Aguilar. He is the oldest professor at Baxter. Please pray for our brother and his health. In fact his health kept him from accompanying us on his day. #baxterfaculty #baxtermiguelaguilar https://www.instagram.com/p/CQFmiezpeO7/?utm_medium=tumblr

Early 1990s the four-story administration building and the two-story cafeteria have just been completed. Can any graduate identify the student in the foreground? It is possible that former President Goodwin is the individual in the middle visiting with two others. The clear vision and much sacrifice that made this possible are key to Baxter 21st future. Please become a supporter of Baxter. https://www.baxterinstitute.edu/home/give-to-baxter/ #baxtercampus #baxtersupporters (at Baxter Institute) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQDE3pJJc4l/?utm_medium=tumblr

Seven years ago a freshmen from the Dominican Republic stopped to tell me all about her dental experience at our clinic, teeth cleaning and cavities filled. She excitedly added, “And it was free; it did not cost me anything!” These two photos are of a student and her daughter from Cuban just yesterday. Many in Latin America have very limited medical and dental care. When an incoming freshmen arrives he is given a physical and medical/dental chart is made up on the student. Baxter aspires to care for the student’s spiritual and physical well-being during their four years here. I didn’t have the heart to tell the Dominican that her dental work was not for free; you donors make it possible that the student doesn’t have to pay for the service.

Construction of the new main entrance continues. We are working hard to get this beautiful archway completed as soon as possible. It began January 2020 but COVID halted that until we restarted the work two months ago. Standby for news about an inauguration. #baxterentrance #baxtercampus (at Baxter Institute) https://www.instagram.com/p/CP9oTjEpTZZ/?utm_medium=tumblr

Have you ever been blind? Venezuelan Enrique Vizcaíno has us imagine being blind and then having Jesus restore our sight as the two blind men did in Mark 8,10. The hope that Jesús brought to the two is what He sought to give His spiritually blind Apostles. Today He would have us see also. https://fb.watch/5-WjDIhTss/ #baxterpreachingclass (at Baxter Institute) https://www.instagram.com/p/CP4pAt8JPPM/?utm_medium=tumblr

Baxter in Its Setting. In the distance are homes built on the side of a small mountain. The city of 1.7 million inhabitants is all around us … and many are in need. The young men playing soccer in the background emphasize our mission to individuals that will hopefully forge a Christian future. The tall palms place us in our tropical setting in Latin America. In the foreground the fourth-story chapel is the scene of much praise to our Lord and Master who makes all this possible. #baxtermission #baxtercampus (at Baxter Institute) https://www.instagram.com/p/CP2MQQgpoN1/?utm_medium=tumblr

In the “positive preaching” class, Ecuadoran student Doddy Torres had us step into the boat with Jesus and be amazed at His power to still a raging storm from Mark 4:35-45.

Together Again … Serving. Our second mission brigade was a group of Abilene Christian University students and professors. They spent 10 days working in Nicaragua and Honduras. Then their last 4 days were at Baxter. 37 years ago Dodd Roberts, the ACU director of the group, and I served together in the 1984 Global Mission Campaign in Buenos Aires. These campaigns were come conducted in 9 major cities in Latin American utilizing Baxter students and teachers, area missionaries, and a chorus from ACU. Dodd was student who sang in the chorus; while Dianna and I supported the effort as local missionaries in Buenos Aires. We praise God who has certainly guided our lives over these many years. #baxterprovidence #baxtermissionbrigades2021 (at Baxter Institute) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPkL3gIJmFE/?utm_medium=tumblr
