An Irreplaceable Resource

February 19, 2014

Throughout our Tribal Tech class at the Missionary Training Center, we were constantly told that time is an irreplaceable resource. In a tribal ministry, where you’re learning a new language and culture from scratch, developing friendships, dealing with culture shock, and the stresses of remote living, solar power can free up a lot of time.

Vision Casting!

February 14, 2013

On Monday I made the two-hour drive down to Branson to share at a Perspectives class with Doug Schaible–an awesome friend and NTM representative who has had a huge impact on my family’s journey to Papua New Guinea. This Perspectives class was especially encouraging, because the pastor of the church served with NTM in Papua […]

Suduwama Says

January 8, 2013

One of my favorite teachers, George Walker, served for many years among the Bisorio people of Papua New Guinea. Today the Bisorio church is thriving and has its own tribal Bible teachers and elders.

Mobilizing in Wisconsin!

November 19, 2012

Lael and I just returned from a long trek up north to Waukesha Wisconsin, where we spoke to the students at New Tribes Bible institute about what life here at the training center is like. Owing to our additional precious cargo (baby Rynn) the trip took an extra 3 hours each way, but she and […]

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, […]

Learning to think tribal…

March 25, 2012

For a girl who was raised in America, I’ve always thought of myself as someone who could think outside my American box. I’m not one of those sheep who’ve just been completely influenced by their culture. I’m not that moldable am I? Wrong. Baa! Just call me a sheep! I am so Western/American, it’s not […]
