INADEQUATE & INSUFFICIENT!!!!

November 28, 2012

It’s count-down time, folks! 4 WEEKS LEFT of classes here at the MTC! (We will graduate, become members of NTM, and Lisa will take Linguistics next semester.) WHAT OUR TRAINING HAS NOT DONE FOR US: It has not given us all the answers. It has not given us full Biblical knowledge. It has not eliminated […]

1st N.I.P. Believers Conference!

November 25, 2012

I love “firsts.” As the mother of young children I get to experience them all the time and there is nothing quite so wonderful as being able to be there for something happening that has never happened before! I get to stand back, watch it and rejoice! We have just been able to be a […]

Gwandambi Comes Home

November 19, 2012

Gwandambi Comes Home After about three months in the hospital out in town Gwandambi arrived home today. It was sooo wonderful to see him and his dad, Rison, again today.

Mommy’s Day Out

November 18, 2012

Ever thought of landing on a dirt road?

November 9, 2012

This week in our training, we had a great time learning how to do package drops. We had a few bags filled with rocks and lime stone and tried to hit a 10ft by 10 ft box, flying 85 MPH 100 ft above the ground . It was not as easy hitting my mark as […]

Connection Lost?

November 5, 2012

Imagine hanging up the phone like this: “Good bye! I’ll talk to you again in a few months.” We had a mini 2-week ‘taste’ of this: Practical Skills/Simple Living class, during which we cut ourselves off from modern conveniences . Making flour tortillas with daddy We practiced ‘supply buying’- ordering our food for the next […]

In just over two weeks, on November 14th, Beth’s younger sister Abby and her husband Nathan will be MOVING to Asia Pacific! We are so excited for them and feel like just yesterday we were leaving the comfort and security of our home country to head into the unknown of moving to another country. It […]

From Tribe To Town

October 12, 2012

The Simbari people say that there are now more of them living in the towns than out in the tribe. I’m not sure if that is the case or not but we’ve certainly seen more and more leaving to live in the towns. The economic growth in the country is centered around the towns typically […]
