Moving…it’s the story of my life. In my (Katy) 31 years on earth I’ve lived in: 4 countries 5 states 11 towns Don’t feel like counting up the number of houses On top of that, as we look to our future, more moving is coming up. If you read our email update, you’ll know […]

2018 The Year of Healing

December 3, 2018

Going into this year, we didn’t have any major health concerns in the family, so healing wasn’t really on our radar. I didn’t think I’d spend over a week with my son in ICU. I didn’t think my father-in-law would have an unexpected surgery. I didn’t think my sister-in-law would have a […]

Calvin’s Journey and God’s Faithfulness

October 22, 2018

God works through difficulties and uses seemingly impossible circumstances to make Himself known. When we spent a week in the ICU with our son last month, things certainly seemed impossible.

What Are We Doing Here?

Support Network

March 8, 2018

In the missionary world we tend to call people that are not living in a village doing direct church planting work, “support missionaries”. A ton of different jobs are jammed into that little title, but today I wanted to give you a glimpse of a few and how they have affected us since our arrival […]

Language Learning and Walking with God

February 2, 2018

God has been using my language learning experience to teach me more than just a new language, but also to help me understand my walk with Him better. Three examples particularly have stood out to me. It Takes Time Language learning…it ain’t no easy task, and while there’s lots of methods and programs out there, […]

The Village in Pictures

November 17, 2017

Even though we live in town right now, we’ve been able to make multiple visits to the village our co-workers (Susie and Jen) have just moved into! We’re thankful that their houses were finished in time for Jen to spend a couple of weeks in the village before returning to the States for […]
