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. It seemed difficult to even imagine that Calvin would make it through this trial, and yet as most of you know already, God has allowed […]

Update on Calvin’s Health

September 17, 2018

Our most recent update letter: September 17, 2018 Another update letter, which is about our future ministry in West Africa, sits in the draft folder, but due to recent events, that email will have to wait.

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 […]

Guinea Trip

May 15, 2017

So much has happened in the last few weeks, a wedding, we moved out of our rental house and Cameron took a trip to Guinea, a country just south of Senegal. For now I’ll just share a little about Cameron’s trip. A missionary family just moved into the village and their house is almost done […]
