Thank you all for praying for our three-week trip in May and June.  Altogether we covered about 2,000 miles in 5 states, shared ministry updates with 5 churches, and slept in 8 different places.  At the beginning of the trip we got to attend our niece’s wedding, and at the end of the trip we […]

This spring DJ and Galilee went from worrying about possible nighttime freezes to trying to keep their garden from wilting in 100-degree afternoon temperatures in the span of only a couple weeks.  They’ve had their work cut out for them, but we’re getting squash, peppers, lettuce, cilantro, dill, LOTS of cucumbers, etc. now so they […]

Despite two nights with temperatures in the teens in mid-March and several other near-freezing nights since then, DJ and Galilee have continued to make progress in the garden.  We just finished picking asparagus, and tomatoes, squash, and cucumbers are all blooming.  Galilee continues to spend lots of time outside in the garden, as well as […]

Thank you so much for your prayers over this past month.  As we start into March here in South Texas, we are seeing our first few wildflowers, green buds on some of the trees, sweet-smelling yellow blooms on the prickly agarita bushes all over the pastures, and the first of the pink peach blossoms in […]

Thanks so much for your prayers for us over the crazy past year, and in this new year too.  DJ has been in the process of transferring departments within our mission organization, from serving with the field of Asia Pacific to serving in the USA IT department.  Just a few days ago that process was […]

I (Jennifer) have been cooking in our cabin kitchen for a month now.  I even got to use my new kitchen to make Thanksgiving dinner for us, my dad & stepmom, my brother and his family, and my sister (though we did all eat over at my dad’s place since I’m not sure we would […]

Once again, thank you so much for your prayers for us over the past month.  As we have passed the 10-month mark since the onset of Galilee’s debilitating fatigue and constant migraines, we’re continuing to look for even the tiniest signs of improvement.  This past week there were several such glimmers of hope—Galilee was alert […]

It’s hard to believe we’ve been back in Texas for 3 ½ weeks now.  DJ’s parents were here for over 2 ½ weeks of that time, helping us work on the cabin.  DJ and his dad got a lot of the sheet rock (drywall) put up and painted, as well as plumbing put in for […]

Over the past 7 months we have often asked you to pray for Galilee’s health to improve. In the last 5 days we have been coming to grips again with the reality that sometimes God answers our prayers in different ways than what we were hoping for. He is so good, and His plans are […]
