The Training – Prayer Countdown, Day 2

July 30, 2016

As we prepare to start our language & culture training in just over a week (Mon, 8 Aug) we covet your prayers. More than just a practical tool to help us get around, we believe this is a critical part of being able to minister effectively in the area God is placing us. I’d say […]

The Family – Prayer Countdown, Day 3

July 29, 2016

We begin our final preparation for departure to Papua New Guinea by asking you to join us in prayer for our family, nuclear & extended. Together we’ll face unprecedented relational challenges. That is of course from our perspective, indeed there are many who have walked this same trail before and from whose example we take heart. […]

Not My Fight…

April 10, 2016

A mix of relief, excitement, and fear swept over me as our Director of Operations broke the news to us last week…13 May 2016 will be our last official day working/training here at the NTM Aviation headquarters in McNeal, AZ! RELIEF…They were words we’d been waiting to hear as we’d already begun looking ahead to […]

T-minus 5 & Counting…

March 2, 2016

We knew it was coming, at least we were pretty sure it was coming, well, 99.9% sure, and you can’t be much more sure than that. It wasn’t super dramatic, not dramatic at all really, I mean if you had in mind there might be a media player of some sort announcing a mission (should […]

A Family Affair

January 1, 2016

We often share with folks that it’s our heart’s desire this work we are privileged to participate in be a family ministry (not just daddy’s job). We wanted to give you a glimpse of one way that played out with our own immediate family and the broader family of our sending church body, impacting the […]

Legends & Laymen

December 24, 2015

Several weeks ago I had the incredible and unexpected privilege of hitching a ride on a legendary airplane with an equally legendary pilot. Over the years I’ve had other phenomenal opportunities, like flying one of America’s frontline, high-performance jets and taking to the friendly skies aboard aircraft which serve our nation’s highest leaders, but this […]

Freedom

November 9, 2015

“So there I was…” I know, it’s a bit cliché to start out a story that way but I will nonetheless. I was hanging out on a peak in the Swisshelm Mountains, marveling at the rugged grandeur of the landscape surrounding me. It was part of an advanced helicopter training flight for one of the […]

“Head Up!”

August 23, 2015

Though it was 20 years ago, I can still hear my cross-country coach’s voice booming, “Head up, Imie!” Why the exhortation? Well, there are a lot of reasons that was sage advice. With every step I took, head bowed and eyes fixed squarely on the ground beneath my feet, all that was about & […]
