From the Arctic to the Tropics
From the far north all the west to the other side of the world, the Potter Mission has seen us travel far and wide.
Avoid Assumacides
Dear Friends and Coworkers, Today’s verse is Psalm 19:12-14 “How can I know all the sins lurking in my heart? Cleanse me from these hidden sins. Keep me from deliberate sins. Don’t let them control me. May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing to you. O Lord my […]
Welcoming Baby Haven Amber
The Short-n-Sweet: Hi Friends, Isn’t it crazy how God’s timing can be so surprising sometimes? And then somehow in His own special way, He works everything out perfectly. When we came home for ‘Medical Leave’ last October we didn’t expect to be staying for almost a year. . . but God orchestrated the details to […]
Betting it All
Supporting Tribal Church Planting in Papua New Guinea “Are you excited to go back?” It’s a question I’ve been asked a lot lately, and I never know what to say. I feel like it’s a question you’re supposed to say yes to, like when a tired young mother is asked, “Isn’t motherhood just the best?” […]
An “All Hands on Deck” Moment
We have a regular post about ready to publish with details on how Joel’s recent trips have been as well as life on the home-front, but we’ve got to bring something more urgent to your attention today. Long story short, we are facing a funding emergency. Here is where we’re at and how we need your […]
Where do missions fit into the local church?
The theme of missions, encompassing God’s redemptive plan for all nations and the sending of messengers to proclaim it, weaves throughout the entirety of the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation.

Matthew 28:18-20 is the most well-known biblical record of what is commonly referred to extra-biblically as “the Great […]
Why haven’t I ever heard about this at my church?
Stories… our lives are made up of stories, and the best of them, perhaps not always recognized in the moment, have God at the foundation. Sometimes those stories turn into God-sized experiences. Back in 2013, I gave my wife, Joyce, a unique Christmas gift: I enrolled her in the Perspectives study course, offered by Perspectives […]
A Snapshot into Animism
Human nature… it is made up of many facets. There are the ‘get-all-you-can-while-you-can’ thinkers who grasp for stuff while doing as little as possible – the kind of individuals who want something for nothing. We call it greed. It’s the stuff that motivates criminals and scammers, perhaps others, too. But human nature is comprised of […]
BREATHLESS
I got to the top of the cliff… breathless and panting, my lungs feeling like they were about to explode. I was wheezing. Why was I wheezing? I was used to rigorous hikes and didn’t mind the strain of hard climbs, but for some reason it felt like someone had taken a turkey baster and […]
