Serious and Timely

August 21, 2019

I’ve tried to think through different ways of communicating the subject of this post (which was an email) and I’ve sat down a few times to work on it but gotten drawn away to other things. Part of why I’m so easily distracted is that the subject of this is my least favorite part of […]

Here is what’s next…

July 18, 2018

After we settled back into a summer routine following the trip west, Joel hit the ground running! He’s preparing to spend time with some of our overseas-based missionaries as they start their furloughs. He and his intern will spend a week in central Pennsylvania towards the end of this month encouraging them in the area […]

After 4,000 miles what could possibly be next?

July 18, 2018

The great western road trip was AWESOME! Between the privilege of seeing, from the ground, the incredible country we’re privileged to live in and all of the people we were able to connect with we were really encouraged. After the trip west, in which we drove from central Florida to central California and back, we settled […]

Rejoice with the Menya and pray for us!

May 23, 2018

//If you’re interested in watching a video version of this update click here// News about our family, what we’ve been up to and what we’re praying about doing this summer. Let’s start somewhere else though… On the other side of the world in Papua New Guinea, the Menya people live. They’ve had a team of […]

How is Jack? An update after Monday’s Appointment

April 20, 2018

First of all, THANK YOU SO MUCH! Your prayer support and encouraging emails were a huge boost to us and a sweet thing to be able to show Jack as he grows through this experience. It was awesome to see so many of you write back as well as encourage us on Facebook. If you missed […]

Update on Jack’s Health

April 16, 2018

Jack was born with a deficiency in his immune system. Think of it like he is missing part of it. He was born with the inability to produce ‘Immunoglobulin-a’, part of the immune system that affects his respiratory and GI systems. We’ve known this for the last few years and been able to manage this […]

What’s the Lord’s Supper look like for a tribal church?

October 27, 2017

We know that what it looks like now for us in the developed world looks way different than it did when Jesus instituted it. So it’s inevitable that it looks ‘local’ for the Church in the Simbari people group. This video shows you how different and yet, the joy of communion is evident! The Blood […]

The Speed of Life

October 27, 2017

Earlier this year, the Ethnos360 Home Office team all moved from the office spaces we’d all occupied since 1978 into new space, a mile deeper into downtown Sanford. To move a huge team of 200+ support personnel into new offices is huge, but we one-upped that! Our Communications and Marketing team led our organization through […]

Since we last spoke…

July 27, 2017

[joel and bethany potter] Bethany recovered after several days home from her last rash breakout. It was discouraging to have to cut short our time in St. Pete as we still had many plans made, but it was totally the right thing to come home. We’re considering how we might get back over to St. Pete […]

Can we say Thank You?!

July 26, 2017

[joel and bethany potter] If you’re praying for us, YOU are getting behind what we’re doing and asking our God to be glorified in our lives and through our work. If you’re giving to us, YOU are using God’s resources to back God’s work through us. If you’re talking about and sharing the stories we’re […]
