Open letter to AFF

[Sister Alvear]

I am a little upset that OLD PATHS 11 seems to think or at least that is how I understand what he wrote that I am not truthful and someone needs to call me and all the things I get away with on this forum...

I request as a long time member of this forum...since the days of FaithChild if anyone at anytime ever caught me in a lie?

Over the years I have shared our ups and downs, victories and defeats, births and deaths and this forum and many of the members have become friends with me and missions.

We have posted thousands of pictures, our newsletters and shared our life her to help people understand that missionaries are real people...have real passions.

I have shared with you the needs of our people and the mission in general. Both spiritual and natural...told of days of laughter and tears...

Strange how people look at things...Just tonight we had supper with Pastor Robinson from Jayess, Mississippi and he looked over the headquarters church, the projects, and told us how growing up he was always inspired by our visits to his home. (His mother used to fix my hair when I would be in the area)

My life has been and continues to be an open book...

If anyone would like any details names, dates, places of any missionary stores I have ever related I will gladly furnish these things...

I am only human and sure I make millions of mistakes but my whole love is missions...


This is one of Old Paths 11 post..

it was actually a friend of mine actually emailed me a link to this thread. This friend is aware of several of my personal hobbyhorses, which include the ridiculous blaming of the devil for everything that goes wrong in our lives, the ridiculous use of credit cards, the tendency of Christians to rack up tons of debt and then give praise to God for what "He gave them", and last but certainly not least, the fact that Sister Alvear gets away with WAY too much on this forum. No one ever calls her on her stories and someone needs to.



I would like to give a personal invitation to anyone to come visit me, our churches anytime...Some on this forum know me personally and a few that write her or read here have been to Brazil...anyway everyone is invited...my home is open...
