Haiti update 4









Haiti partners,

I’m excited to report we are on our way! We have a 16+ hour drive to ft. lauderdale, FL ahead of us.

I, Bronson, am looking forward to seeing how this time is used to refresh my commitments to evangelism and discipleship.

Amber is excited about...sleeping at the moment šŸ˜ƒšŸ˜œ. (I wish I could sleep like she can in a car!)

 Please pray for protection for us,  as the enemy hates the spread of the Gospel;  we are engaging in warfare of the deadliest kind, spiritual!

“Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm.” Ephesians 6:10-13

Thanks for your continued support,

Bronson & Amber Simmons

September 2019: Netflix is how much?

Family and Friends, here is an overview of September! New Early September we got to lead some youth on a local service project to help Good News Homes. I failed to take many good pictures, but here is a glimpse: Cleaning up trimmed bushes Also, My parents came in town to visit us. We had a great time with them at Bernheim Forest and downtown Louisville. We walked the park, ate out, and talked/prayed with a homeless gentleman downtown Louisville. (shortly after he showed us this camera) It was a joy to see family and it made us anticipate more time like this during the holidays! Also, my dad has a favorite "Youtuber" that films in Louisville. I usually only hear youth at church talk about their favorite "Youtubers," so that was funny. Sorry we didn't have time to visit him, Dad! I preached a sermon on the conception and birth of Jesus, so I showed clip of me on my 1st birthday as an illustration. The youth thought it was fun and it worked...

The Church's Ongoing Pandemic

Photo Credit  People don’t go to church for a lot of reasons, but a Christian without a church is a Christian in trouble. Sadly, the number of professing Christians is far larger than the number who attend weekly meetings. Many churches experienced an acceleration of this trend during Covid as well: professing Christians have returned to school, work, and leisure, but have not returned for regular church gatherings. Why? Everyone is a unique case in the specifics, but there are trends we see in the wake of the pandemic: people have elevated political and medical (mask & vaccine) opinions over faith commitments and demoted their faith so it is not the primary identity marker in their life. What does this mean for the church? Is it doomed? I don’t think so, but Christians need to rediscover that the church can have different political and medical opinions, but still love each other, be on mission, and gather for Jesus. Christians need to remember that the fact that Jesus died o...

April 2019 "It...it's just too late."

Friends and Family, let me start by apologizing for not sending out a March update. Life got busy and it fell by the wayside! Here is what is up with us: New& Exciting  We were blessed this year to have the spring breaks of my Seminary, Amber's school, and the youth's school schedule on the same week, so we took a trip down to Florida with some good (and generous friends), Neal and Layne, to their family beach house. We got tan, enjoyed the beach, walked a park, hung a hammie, played a board game (Catan, multiple times!), and generally just had a great time getting away. Also, I caught up on my Hebrew homework (to the -rightful- chagrin of Amber.) Funny  As usual, Amber comes home with the best stories of kids saying silly things. Recently, Amber went on a field trip to a park and kids were pushing boundaries by playing in a creek. One older boy crossed the creek on a stick that was not sturdy. This inspired a smaller and younger boy, only 8, to head toward...
