Christmas in Common

Christmas in Common

Most missionaries from western countries who serve far from home would be willing to tell you that Christmas is not an easy time of year.  Our first Christmas on the field was spent in a remote village.  Unlike most new missionary families, we actually did get to spend Christmas with at least part of our family.

Thank you so much for your prayers for us over the past few months.  We are so thankful for the Lord’s protection in our travels as we made 3 trips this past fall—2 to our former island of ministry and one for just me (Jennifer) to another southeast Asian country to attend culture and language […]

Endurance & Progress

Endurance & Progress

Back in late July we noted that the previous 2 months had been almost the busiest of our lives and that we hoped not to have to maintain that pace for the rest of the year.  The Lord did allow that pace to continue for another month, until late August.  Just in the past week […]

Marathon at Sprint Speeds

We hope that all of you in the northern hemisphere have had a great “summer vacation.”  We know that for many of you this time of year is just as busy with work and responsibilities as any other time of the year.  For us the last couple months (and especially the last few weeks) have […]

Goodbyes

Goodbyes

On February 10, just a little over a month after we said goodbye and returned to Asia Pacific, the Lord called my grandmother home to be with Him.  Maw Maw leaves behind a legacy of love and care freely given to everyone who crossed her path.  She always knew when someone needed an open door, […]

Autumn Blessings

We’re currently enjoying south Texas fall weather—40s or 50s at night and 70s in the day.  The pecan trees on the back half of my (Jennifer’s) dad’s property have produced a bumper crop this year, so we’ve been picking pecans every chance we get.  I realized a while back that this is the first time […]

Dentists, Day Trips, and Dyslexia

Thanks so much for your prayers and giving over the last couple months. We’ve been amazed at the extra gifts and the other ways the Lord has been providing for our needs. We’re continuing to get dental work done, and hopefully we are close to seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. Tyndale […]

Check-ups, Testing, and Other fun summer activities :)

Thank you for praying for us during this busy summer.  The pace for us hasn’t slowed down much since we got back from our summer travels.  We’ve been spending time with as many different friends and family as possible, as well as trying to work through a long list of doctor and dental appointments.  We’re […]

Thank you so much for praying for us during our month-long ministry travels. We are so thankful for safety during almost 7,000 miles on the road from June 5 to July 3. We got to visit friends, family, supporters, and churches in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Tennessee, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Missouri, Kansas, and Colorado. So many amazing […]
