New Arrivals We welcomed a new family to the field, which means getting their apartment ready.  This begins with moving the family currently living in their apartment, the apartment that we use for our new arrivals usually for the first 6 months they are here.  So we first had to find a host church and […]

When we first started going to our church here, I started going up to Sunday School with my boys.  I went with them because I wanted to help them integrate into our church and I knew they would be most comfortable with me around.  It also provided that added advantage that the teaching was at […]

This month we watched 1 family and 2 singles complete their time in Dakar and move on to their next location.  The family moved to a location 3 countries away where they will work in a really remote village among a people who are in need of Gods truth.  We were there 2 years ago […]

I can hardly believe that Ethan has turned 9.  It was a big year for him.  The 3 months in states that Ethan had at English speaking schools really helped build up his confidence in studying.  Since there he has done much better at school here and is actually more at the top of his […]

God called us to the mission field as a family and so I am convinced that our ministry should happen as a family.  This wasn’t our first time traveling as a family, but it was our first time intentionally trying to involve the kids in the goal of our travels.  Before leaving we talked with […]

It is time for our last trip of the year (or so we think :)).  Our plan is to leave early next week down to Guinea – The country right below Senegal.  All four of us in our wonderful car. So what will the journey look like… 3 day drive to the capital of Guinea. […]

My trip to Liberia was not without adventures, but I am thankful that they were all good adventures.  So here is a little of some of the adventures and experiences I had during the trip. Life there is really simple.  It was a good reminder of how doable simple is.  They have no refrigerator there […]
