Well, we just finished our 4-week Hebrews class, in which we studied the concept of “rest” as mentioned in the epistle. That kind of rest refers to abiding in Christ/living our lives with Him at the center, if you will. by trusting and obeying Him and His Word, as well as living in the confidence […]

I’ve put together a short video with some pictures of our trip to Michigan, our first year, and the direction we are headed. Enjoy!

As I anticipated in the last blog entry, the activities in Seattle did indeed slow just a bit. It was a tough 6.5 weeks for Noe (and for us, but more for him) to be apart from us. Harder for him because he was out here in Michigan working and coming home to a very […]

Blood splattered everywhere! Well, it wasn’t real blood. But as Elias stabbed the sheep cutout and broke the zip-lock bag full of red-stained juice, the effect was still pretty vivid. The picture was clear. Adam and Eve had rebelled against God and a couple of leaves just weren’t sufficient. God was providing a covering, and […]

Charles and I recently had the chance to spend a little time with family in his home village.  It was nice to see everyone again, now as a married couple.  I had the opportunity to cook a chicken dinner with my sisters-in-law.  Did I mention that I have 5 sisters now!  Chickens go from the […]

No, not a miracle… but our family is currently in two places at once. Noe is in Jackson (MI) working – we are very thankful for two employment positions! He is working a part-time retail job, but also enjoying ministering to a precious group of youth in a nearby Church. The girls and I flew […]

It’s been 6 months since we’ve been out to town.  We’re really looking forward to the chance to talk to our families on the phone again, as well as to fellowship with the other missionaries from our region.  The kids can’t wait to eat ice cream, and Mommy and Daddy will enjoy having internet access […]

Jesus said that if His disciples did not praise Him, then the very stones would cry out. One of my thoughts in response to that is, “How embarrassing would that be!?!?” Shameful, and embarrassing.  But what a word stating that God’s creation cannot help but sing His praise! After all, what do you think of […]

As we begin this new adventure of starting our NTM ministry blog, we wanted to give you an update on a different adventure: our new location and our new ministries.  This new part of our life started on April 1st when we arrived here in sunny Sanford, Florida.  After having a little bit of time […]

Sorry for the title… Today I had the surprisingly (??) unpleasant experience of emptying poop out of a toddler potty. On second thought, I do believe that calls for an exclamation mark, or several. (!!!!!!) Yes, Naya officially “took a dump” in her little toilet this afternoon! 🙂 We were hoping that she’d pee, but […]
