Unfinished Project

August 20, 2019

My molasses-paced photo-digitizing project really should be completed by now; I am digitizing our old family photos so as not to be burdened with boxes of prints. I think I started nearly two years ago, but alas it’s still not done. I have hit pause on this project more times than I can count. […]

Heart Language

July 26, 2018

When we travel to other countries and are confronted by unimaginable realities there of suffering, poverty and spiritual need, our hearts are moved with compassion. And while compassion is a reasonable beginning, is compassion alone enough? For the recent young widow raising two children, her finances barely enough to make frayed ends meet, is giving […]

Two Kinds of People

July 26, 2018

Of the people around me, two groups stood out. There were people I could communicate with, and those I couldn’t. While it was pure delight to get to know the missionaries serving within West Africa, it was evident that I would never get beyond “How are you? Did you sleep well?” with the Africans who […]

Seeing More

July 26, 2018

When most people feel the need to be refreshed they don’t head to Dakar, Senegal. Maybe it’s just me, but I consider waterfalls or large bodies of water as a place to be refreshed. But isn’t it just like the Lord to refresh me in a hot, dry and dusty place? Only He can refresh […]

Eyes & Ears

July 26, 2018

What we saw: Senegalese hospitality was an amazing thing to witness and experience! I think we could learn a lot in that arena. Believers who so deeply loved and appreciated the church, weren’t taken up with finding fault in the church. The high price that some of our missionaries are willing to pay in […]

REFRESH AFRICA!

July 14, 2015

Words that come to mind when thinking of Africa…. VIBRANT– Well, honestly this wasn’t what came to mind before we went, but we discovered that Africa had bright and beautiful people, landscape, and spiritual vitality springing up from a dry place. HOPEFUL– Believers in Africa are trusting God for things thought impossible. Great adversity has been met with great […]

Please Pray As We Face A Busy Summer 2015!

May 11, 2015

1 – The number of weeks the students have left at NTBI Jackson before the seniors graduate and move forward in ministry & in life! 2 – The number of weeks it took for my parents’ house to sell! It is also the number of additional family members we […]

The Harvest & The Workers

January 28, 2015

New Year, New Freshman class, New young lives that God is providing for the need of the Unreached! At our first assembly the student body heard the following letter that was sent to missionaries in the Sepik River Region from the Weku people of Papua New Guinea. This was a follow up to other letters that they […]

Where Bible and Missions Are One… 2

October 1, 2014

What hasn’t been the greatest for me these past two weeks? Hmm, let’s see: being away from my lovely wife Casie, missing my daughter Savanna’s 16th birthday, not being with the family, missing out on life in Jackson, Mi. But what has been great? Well, for the past two weeks I have had the privilege […]

Hitting a Moving Target From a Speeding Train!

January 31, 2014

Hitting a moving target from a speeding train, that is how I can best describe the challenge that we face in our ministry with NTM. It is plain to see that we have a culture in North America that is constantly changing. The young lives and minds that are challenged out of their hometowns and […]
