A New Family
Sitting on a wood plank with my feet in the dirt and a small Menya child sound asleep on my lap. The drool from sleep flowing freely… This may be my favorite memory for months, possibly years to come. I was sitting with my brothers and sisters. People that God has redeemed. People from a […]
Letting the Paint Dry
I often find the time frames for events in Scripture to be absurd. I complain about the 2-3 years it took to get to Papua New Guinea only to realize that it was years between Moses leaving Egypt before being able to return again to be a part of freeing Israel. And when God did […]
“Why Don’t You Have a Job?”
