California or Bust!
Yesterday, Jason left for a 10 day trip to Fresno, California to teach a Greek course at Fresno State University. He is one of 4 teachers who are teaching this intensive Greek course, living language style. The New Testament was written in Koine Greek, but no one speaks it today…until now! There are a few […]
Humility
“Do you see a man wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him.” Prov. 26:12 So often in our walk with God, we compare ourselves with others. We start feeling pride in our ability to respond to others in a kind fashion, make right choices, etc. I (Stephanie) […]
My New Life Verse
“Where no oxen are, the manger is clean; but much increase comes by the strength of the ox.” Proverbs 14:4 I read this verse this morning, and I loved it!! So I thought I would share it. Not calling my kids oxen or anything…but if the shoe fits… 🙂 This is a verse that I […]

Where are we?? Is it 5 acres??
[singlepic id=34 w=320 h=240 float=left]”Where are we? Is it 5 acres?” These are 2 questions we heard our son ask in his sleep the other night. After being gone for 4 weeks, traveling to Florida, Georgia, Michigan, and Missouri, visiting friends, family, supporters, and our future home, we are exhausted! But we had a great time, […]
Translation ministry emerging
For the last few weeks, it seems that the ministry of ‘Bible translation consultant’ has become more of a reality to Jason than a dream.
