Now that you’re up to date, what’s next?

February 27, 2022

January 2022 to now As we started the new year with aspirations to produce a year-end video and give you a glimpse at what was coming next, we ended up hobbling along with some sickness and then needed to dive into our first video shoot of the year, a weeklong shoot with two instructors. Then, […]

Overdue fines?

February 26, 2022

You may not have heard much from us but we’re still here and going. How about we catch you up? If you haven’t caught any of our recent updates in our Ministry Group on Facebook, it looks like we dropped off the map. But that’s not the case. We’ve stayed busy as ever. August 2021-December […]

It’s Been a Year…

June 22, 2021

I’m searching for a way to describe this past year and I can’t find an easy one. That might be because it’s Monday morning when I’m writing this. Or it might be because of how packed full of twists and turns this past year’s ministry has been. What is for sure is that we are […]

Behold…

December 23, 2020

As we walked through this year, it oftentimes felt like we were traipsing through a wilderness, hopelessly lost. Sort of like we could see evidence of life the way it used to be, but we had a sense that it wouldn’t be the same again. But, there were also SO MANY REMINDERS that our God […]

Heading in…

December 15, 2020

So, guess what?! We got some great news the other night. When our six-month partnership and community development time finished in August, we knew that we probably wouldn’t reach the goal we set for 2020: to see an additional $2020 of monthly sustaining support committed. But, we were still SUPER encouraged with what God did […]

They Need Prayer

December 14, 2020

I’m tired these days. You probably are too. But I think I know of some people who might be wearier than us both. The believers in Asia that Bethany and I have been helping to equip in the training program that started back in June are downright exhausted. These dear friends and fellow members of […]

Quick Update

December 4, 2020

How are our kids doing? At this moment, the kids are doing well. We’ve kept just enough semblance of sanity with Jack being at in-person student at his school (he only physically goes to class two days a week and does the rest of his classwork from home) and Owen and Kate both being virtual at the charter […]

And make that important to you

December 4, 2020

“Find out what’s important to God and make that important to you.” Earlier this fall, I got word that a friend and co-worker with who I’ve spent some really encouraging moments passed away after a short struggle with cancer. In one way, this was a hard death for me to “be OK” with. Doug, my friend, was a passionate […]

Conversation

August 5, 2020

About a week ago, we had the chance to be a part of a conversation that was live streamed to our local church’s social media community on Facebook and YouTube. It was fun, it was unique, it was delayed…all of the above, but it was also an encouragement. We are blessed to be a part […]

Is Partnership Developing?

August 3, 2020

Right before this transition begins in earnest (see the previous post if you’re not sure what transition we’re talking about), the “Home Assignment” we’ve had for the last six months is coming to a close. Remember, we had been taking that time away from the regular ministry responsibilities to work on fund-raising for our monthly […]
