My book, Tipping Our Kings, will be released on Black Friday! This project kind of created itself and has been in the works for more than three years. The promo video will hopefully be out next week! “For every believer who longs to reach someone who seems unreachable…this is the book!” -Todd […]

Crazy times…are the best!

October 12, 2012

Life has been busy, to say the least, but it’s about to get even more hectic. Today we wrapped up our nearly two-month long tribal simulation, and I have to say I’m a feeling a little depressed. I actually miss our language helper, Kinosi! We learned so much about the Dobu culture during our class, […]

In the land of lakes, badgers & cheese…

June 12, 2012

Well, we just got back from a week in Wisconsin…and it was way too short! We got to stay with our friends, Mark and Marilyn Ford (and their beautiful cats…Lael was in heaven)! We also saw a ton of friends from Brooklife Church and got to worship in the new (well, it was new to […]

George was here…

May 19, 2012

We had an amazing time in Fayetteville, when George Walker, one of my favorite instructors here at the MTC, came to share his story of living among the Bisorio people of Papua New Guinea for two decades!

Taking the Living Room Camping!

March 27, 2012

The plan for this camping trip, was to […]

It’s a big job, so let’s get to it!

February 14, 2012

One of our instructors showed us his “Sad List” today. It stretched to the back of the auditorium. Each name on the list represents an entire language group filled with people who for the last 2,000 years have died without a chance to hear the gospel in their language. Here’s a paraphrase of what Paul […]

Lael and I had the privilege of hosting some good friends last week! Stacey Sagely was my Bible teacher in junior high and high school, and her daughter, Hannah, is a high school senior. They came to tour MTC, because Hannah is planning to attend the New Tribes Bible School in Wisconsin next fall! She […]

The Living Room

February 13, 2012

This semester, we have been involved in a teen center called “The Living Room” that provides a safe place for teens to hang out after school and Friday nights. Jack’s been placed in charge of the ministry, and we’ve been developing relationships with these kids over the past few months. At the end of last […]
