Greetings from warm, balmy, sunny Missouri. Family – Two weeks ago, our son-in-law was voted in as the pastor of Elmer Baptist Church, in Elmer Missouri! He had been asking the Lord for more opportunities to preach, and God definitely opened the door for him. Here’s a photo of Zach and Amy in front of the […]

The D.R.D.O.

March 15, 2012

On the field, we will have to fight over the special title/role of “The D.R.D.O.” That is, the Designated Refrigerator Door Opener! That’s right! In our Missionary Technology class (which we JUST finished on Feb. 29th), we have learned lots of helpful skills and concepts, of which one of the most important is that of […]

February 26, 2012

Jethro and his two daughters, Jeporav and Weyopiyav, wrote this song recently about the spiritual armor described in Ephesians 6.

My PNG Cookbook: Crunchy Cabbage Salad

February 26, 2012

“I Want to Go to a Trumpet Call! Not a Siren!”

February 5, 2012

Our friend couldn’t have said it better, as we all huddled in their back room. It was after 11pm, and Noe and I were watching a movie in the living room. The girls and one of their friends were asleep upstairs (for a sleepover), when suddenly the tornado siren blared. This was the first time […]

Here’s a copy of the E-mail we finally sent out: In an effort to not clog up your inbox, it seems like I’ve neglected to keep everyone updated on our lives! So for the speed-readers, here’s the condensed version: Since our last update: We arrived at school and got settled in Stephen had a great […]

Ringing From The Mountain

January 29, 2012

It’s common at this time of year for Simbari people to get restless and travel out to the towns. The Simbari Bible teachers have such a burden for the those of the church who are scattered around in different locations, not able to hear these great truths in their own language.

Normal.

January 22, 2012

I’m sitting at our table clicking away on my laptop and I just watched two of our neighbors walk by carrying huge branches on their shoulders slung with dozens of coconuts.
