Letter From Missionary Ferdie Flores

Friday, November 18th, 2005

This letter is supposedly from November 13th, so it does not address the alleged beating which took place in the last few days. I have not yet contacted anyone who can verify the accuracy of that report. This letter does however fill in some additional details…
Dear Prayer Partners,
This letter is the sequel of my testimony […]

Missionary Execution Not Likely Impending

Monday, October 31st, 2005

The home page for Ferdie Flores and Family has been updated with a scrolling message:

Sunday, October 30th, 2005

I just want to give a big shout out and respect to the Denver Rescue Mission Harvest Farm. We went there for the corn maze and some good harvest fun not having any idea how cool of a ministry it is. I’ll keep it short, but basically they’ve got 72 guys living there at any […]

Stupid Lawnmower

Saturday, October 22nd, 2005
