My Heart is Settled

October 22, 2015

As we finish another year here at NTBI – Waukesha and begin a new one God continues to settle our hearts or rather, settles my heart. There are still times when I am homesick for Paraguay but God is gracious in that it is becoming less and less. I truly believe it is because of […]

Scrubbing Pans and Rubbing Shoulders

September 18, 2015

This semester the staff has the opportunity of serving our students by helping with the “clean up” after lunch. That means washing and drying the dishes including scrubbing the pots and pans! This opportunity is two-fold … helping where there is a need and getting to rub shoulders with more of our students. In reality, […]

They Know Us!

August 24, 2015

God blessed us this summer with quality time with our girls and their families, and also other family members, and long time family friends. So often it is “in and out” or “hi and bye”. It was so neat to see the light in our grand-babies’ eyes and realize that they know our faces and […]

From 15% to 60%

July 1, 2015

This past month, since his injury with the scissors lift at school, Jared has been quite frustrated. He is not used to being dependent on others for too much help so asking me to tie his shoes or cut his food has been humbling. This “season of limitations” has been stretching for him and he […]

God’s Word Satisfies

June 8, 2015

Praise God with us! The New Testament in Manjui has been translated, printed, and distributed. What great joy for all who have prayed for this to happen! It takes a team to accomplish something of this magnitude … and people being faithful in giving of themselves, their time, and their finances. Thank you for the […]

What a neat privilege it has been to connect with this awesome group of young adults! Graduation was last weekend and more than half the class held academic honors. They were faithful to do what God had laid before them to do during their two years of Biblical Studies here at NTBI – Waukesha. Two […]

Jared vs Scissor-Lift

May 15, 2015

On May 4th during a normal work day Jared injured his left hand in the scissor-lift here at the school. It caused a quick chain of reactions and responses that God already had in place. Jared was lowering the lift when the accident occurred. He was standing outside the cage and watching his feet so […]

Kitchen Duty …

March 28, 2015

Just in the past few weeks, Jared and I – on two separate occasions – had the privilege of stepping into the kitchen here at NTBI – Waukesha. I, along with a few other staff ladies, volunteered to help so that all of the men on staff could enjoy an evening out together; and Jared […]

A New Appreciation …

February 27, 2015

Christ is all about people and HE has given us the privilege of living among a lot of people here at the Bible School. Jared and I sat in on a few classes with students during the month of February and what a blessing that was! I saw them as I once was … a […]

Come … Walk With Us!

January 25, 2015

This past week (Jan 22 – 23) our school hosted a “Catch the Vision” event in which those who are interested in seeing our campus come and visit. Our Mobilization Team worked hard to pull this event together and there were close to eighteen young people who attended. As I looked around the room at […]
