Good to be Negative

September 29, 2021

Here’s a very quick update (you’ll see why it’s quick in a minute.) We’re taking off on a ministry trip to AFRICA tomorrow! This is the first international trip we’ve taken since mid-2019 (Thanks to COVID). It’s Donna’s first trip AT ALL in about 2 years, and her first trip to Africa! We’re thankful to […]

A Time to Heal

April 20, 2021

Donna Broke Her wrist! Donna Broke Her Wrist! This is a quick update so you can be praying. The title of this blog comes from Ecclesiastes 3:3, which came up in Bill’s morning reading schedule the day after Donna’s accident, reminding us that God is in control, and that he does provide healing. Last Thursday, […]

Talk is not Cheap

March 7, 2021

Talking is Important. Missionaries need to talk… fluently! They have an important message to communicate. And it takes years of hard work to gain that fluency. That’s why Bill and his team are developing the updated Engage culture/language acquisition (CLA) how-to materials, and the Stages CLA app. We want to make the task easier by […]

The Gospel Goes Viral

October 10, 2020

Busier Than Ever October finds us grateful to be well and safe during the pandemic. We pray you are, too! COVID-19 has changed many things in our lives recently, but it has not stopped our ministry of reaching the Unreached. In fact, ministry-wise, we are busier than ever. Here’s a quick update on what is […]

A Matter of Life and Death

April 9, 2020

The Virus that Shook the World COVID-19. The whole world is talking about it. Everyone is concerned. Everyone’s routines and lives are being disrupted. People are dying.

Hearts

August 28, 2019

Our Heart for Asia In June, Bill was invited back to Asia and spent a week there, teaching some local missionaries with a local mission agency about how to better learn language and culture. This was a follow-up to our trip last year. This time, Bill was able to provide some training for 10 missionaries, […]

Here and There

March 13, 2019

Where’s the best place to learn culture and language? Answer: in a cultural community where that language is spoken. But not all communities (or teachers, or schools…) are equal. On our trip to Asia in September, we checked out a language school where our people might learn national language and culture. Bill was asked to […]

Worldview

June 27, 2018

What Have Bill and Donna Been Up To? Here are a few examples of what we’ve been doing recently… Bill has been Skyping and emailing with missionaries in the Middle East, Mexico, Brazil, the USA, and a few countries in Asia, helping them work through their language learning struggles. We spent a week in […]

Airborne with Airborne

February 9, 2018

Our recent ministry trip to the Asia Pacific region was a great success. And we did not experience any missed flights or delays like we did going to Mexico in November. Now, our travel companions as we were locked inside a metal tube hurtling through the stratosphere… that’s another story. It is flu season–and […]
