Stuffless.

April 6, 2010

Well, it is done. Last Wednesday we were able to have our stuff safely loaded onto a semi truck, on its way to the ship that will take it to Papua New Guinea. Praise the Lord! As we watched our 16 totes and boxes be wrapped to a pallet and then fork lifted up the […]

Stop that Ship!

March 26, 2010

With all the trips to the store and packing it feels like we are leaving and not just our stuff! Considering how stressful and exhausting it has been to get all our things ready to ship, I am very grateful to have the next three months to prepare ourselves! Last weekend we had our much […]

Manuscripts & Makeovers

March 9, 2010

Last week was a good one! I finally started recovering from my illness so Tom, Jude, my little brother Davy & I were able to go on a bit of an adventure one day. The University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, MI has had a special display going on for the last month or so […]

Bring On the Cloth!

February 24, 2010

Recently we applied for something called a “diaper grant” from a wonderful organization who sells cloth diapers. They have a commitment to help overseas missionaries by giving them cloth diapers. About two months after we applied for the grant we were approved and Jude’s spankin’ new cloth diapers arrived today! This is seriously a huge […]

How Beautiful Are The… Shoes?

February 16, 2010

Things are pretty crazy these days as we continue to tackle paperwork (poor Tom) and begin to dive into the complicated task of packing. As you may imagine, when you are moving to an island half way around the world there are things you would need. Add to this the fact that this island is […]

Cotton Fields & Creation

February 5, 2010

Time for us to do some “catch up” blogging! Things got so busy at the end of our trip that we didn’t have time to keep you up to date, so now we will back track to let you know how the last weeks of our trip went! Last we wrote, we were leaving Florida […]

Goodbye, Palm Trees

January 24, 2010

This last week has been a full one! Early in the week we had a meeting with a missions pastor from a church in the area. We sat over chai tea, juice and water and shared him our vision to see the unreached people of Papua New Guinea reached with the gospel. It was a […]

All Work & No Play?

January 14, 2010

Two weeks into our road trip and everything is going great! This last week has looked a little different for us… in a very good way. 🙂 Since Tom and I were going to be here in Florida for a bit, my parents decided to take the opportunity for our family to go on a […]

Hello, Palm Trees

January 6, 2010

Over a thousand miles have rushed under our van since we left Michigan on Jan 1st and we have found ourselves driving in sun, snow, and some mighty gust’s of wind! Recently the icicle dripping cliffs have been replaced by patches of palm tree’s. After our first brief round through Georgia, we arrived in Florida […]

Hittin’ the Road

December 30, 2009

As the holiday season draws to a close and most people’s excitement winds down, our lives are just about to pick up some speed. This Friday, January 1st, we are kicking off the new year by setting sail on our first ever month long partnership development road trip! Before I tell you about our road trip, just a recap of the last month: Beth & I have been incredibly busy ever since Thanksgiving. I just finished up a 10-week Adult Bible Fellowship (Sunday School) class on the book of Judges that has taken up a good amount of time each week, and Beth has been diligently sending out our newsletter, new prayer cards, brochures and ministry portfolios.
