23 August 2017 - Dear Friends and Fellow Laborers, The first thing I want to do in this letter is address our name change to “Legacy Teaching Institute”. Several years ago, totally unknown to us, a form was not filed properly with the Secretary of State of Texas. This started a bureaucratic chain reaction that caused the removal of our name from the rolls of active Texas non-profit corporations...

22 July 2017 - Dear Friends and Fellow Laborers, FOURTH OF JULY IN THAILAND - Thailand does not have an independence day, since the kingdom of Thailand never broke away from anyone. But my family and I are Americans living in Thailand, so we decided to have a small celebration of July Fourth. I broke out my father’s memorial flag that was given to my mother at my father’s funeral, which included a 21-gun salute by the local VFW. We also had fire crackers the grandkids set off and enjoyed special snacks...
10 June 2017 - Dear Friends and Fellow Laborers, What a wonderful Pentecost we had in Taungoo, Myanmar! It was a very special holy day. What made it so special? Besides being a wonderful God-ordained high Sabbath day, it really felt as if the Holy Spirit was being poured out upon the 49 people gathered there. No, there were no little flames of fire appearing on our heads. And, no, we did not erupt into different languages other than the English sermon being translated into the Burmese language. But nevertheless, it was a very spiritual experience.
Dear Friends and Fellow Laborers, Mr. Herbert W. Armstrong met King Bhumibol Adulyadej the first time in 1971. At that time, the king told him about a new project to educate the ethnic hill tribes that inhabited the highland border region of northern Thailand. These hill tribes grew opium and sold it to Chinese middle-men as their only cash crop. The king wanted to teach them to grow other crops, such as peaches and vegetables, to replace the opium they grew. This would be more profitable for the hill tribes and much less destructive to the upland forests and humanity as a whole. The king also wanted to give their children an education but had very few trained teachers.
16 April 2017 - Dear Friends and Fellow Laborers, This year Legacy helped sponsor three Passover ceremonies in Thailand and Myanmar (Burma). Two took place in Myanmar and one in Thailand. It has been our usual practice to travel to Myanmar for the Spring Festivals; but this year, Gloria and I needed to stay in Thailand to take care of our local Chiang Mai brethren.
March 15, 2017 - Dear Friends and Fellow Laborers, Things are changing rapidly in Europe. We are watching the potential break-up of the European Union, presided over by Germany—seemingly powerless to stop it. It looks like Angela Merkel, once the strongest politician in Europe, may very well soon fall. The German people are sick and tired of being at the mercy of hundreds of thousands of so-called Arab “immigrants” invading German towns, groping women, raping, robbing, and burning. It was Merkel who opened the floodgates and invited them in!
21 February 2017, Dear Friends and Fellow Laborers, "TRIP TO BURMA" Gloria and I have returned from Myanmar (Burma) and have great things to report. First of all, I would like to relay that the Church of God is continuing to better organize in Burma. Burma has been a backwater for the Church of God for many years; indeed, it has been an adjunct to Australia and continues to be for some COG organizations. Part of the problem has been a lack of trained leadership for the fledgling churches that have sprung up over the years in many parts of Burma.
20 January 2017, Dear Friends and Fellow Laborers, The Beast continues to rise. The U.N. and the E.U. are flexing their muscles as never before. Let’s look at one headline: “New UN Boss Tells Europe Migration Unstoppable, Says Politicians Should Ignore Voters.
Dear Friends and Fellow Laborers, 8 December 2016 - The world is a chaotic and confusing place right now. Things are moving even more rapidly toward the End of the Age. It reminds me of Daniel 7:2. “Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea.” If one keeps reading in Daniel 7, four beasts emerge from the turbulent waters. The turbulent waters depict the world in a state of rapid and chaotic change. Each beast represents a new world order emerging upon the earth...
10 November 2016 - Hello Friends and Fellow-Laborers, Let me first let you know that the Kingdom of Thailand continues to mourn its beloved King Bhumibol Adulyadej. All wear black in mourning or, if not dressed in black, wear a black ribbon on their clothing. Even foreign tourists and visitors are wearing black ribbons. Dignitaries from all over the world have been arriving to pay their last respects to the late king...

18 August 2016 Dear Friends and Fellow Laborers, During the Olympics in Brazil, the Egyptian Judo contestant refused to shake the hand of his victorious Israeli opponent, a breach of Olympic etiquette. Why is there so much animosity by Muslims shown toward Israel and the Western nations? Some people try to blame it on the Crusades, but it goes far deeper than the battles between the Franks and the Muslims for control of the Holy Land in the eleventh and twelfth centuries...
