No Rest for the Weary

June 6, 2021

Dear faithful prayer partners, Thank you for praying for my trip. It was long, we came back home exhausted, but it was so good. I am so glad I was able to go. While the purpose was primarily to get the house ready for one of our orientation families to live in for the next […]

How to pray for missionaries

May 28, 2021

“Dear God, bless our pastor and all the missionaries. Bless everyone, everywhere. Amen. That’s one way to pray, but it is neither sensible, nor very rewarding. In fact, that kind of praying soon becomes dull and boring. So, how do you pray for missionaries? It’s one thing to have prayer updates with specific prayer requests […]

Bush Trip Coming Up

May 28, 2021

As we wrap up our time with these 9 families, we are excited about the potential of how God is going to use each one. Each of these families will be joining a team, or forming teams among themselves, to plant a church among a remote tribal village somewhere here in PNG! That is so […]

The Mountain Full of Giants

May 15, 2021

Joshua 14:12 “Now give me this hill country of which the Lord spoke of… where the Anakin are and great walled cities” At age 85, as Joshua was dividing up the Promised land, Caleb renewed his request for the mountain where the sons of Anakin lived. The sons of Anakin were the descendants of Goliath. […]

Awake O Sleeper

May 15, 2021

“Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.” Isaiah 26:19 I don’t know about you, but sometimes it’s hard to motivate myself to get up early and spend time with God. I know what you are thinking, “You are a veteran missionary, how is it that you struggle with […]

Our Situation:Have you ever heard someone describe something, that brought a picture to your mind, but then when you actually saw it, it didn’t look anything like you had pictured? This can happen often with Biblical truth. We can hear something, then we interpret what we think that means through the grid of our understanding, […]

Heart Trouble

April 25, 2021

I have been re-reading the book, “Shepherding a Child’s Heart.” In the first chapter, Paul Tripp does a great job defining the importance of getting to the heart when we are shepherding our children. The principles he talks about there apply to all of us, I believe. God is searching for, and desiring to support […]
