Hope… a dangerous word

August 29, 2022

What’s that thing that will solve your problem? Where could you move, that would make your life more fulfilling? What job will be the final piece to fall in place? What friendship will bring a sense of completion to your life? All of those are actual things in my life that I have, recently, thought […]

First things first

August 12, 2022

We need you to pray! It’s come down to the last few weeks we can wait to make the “go/no-go” decision on this ministry trip to Thailand. We’ve prayed all along that the Lord would make clear to us whether we should go, based on if the right solution could be found. A few possibilities did not […]

Pray for the Home Team!

June 22, 2022

In November of this year, the group of Global Partner organizations that Ethnos360 is a part of is hosting an international forum in Chiang Mai, a decent-sized city in the country of Thailand. There will be “co-workers” of ours from all over the world and they’ll gather to encourage each other in the work we’re […]

We Made It!

June 3, 2022

Our First Graduating Class If you have kept up with updates in our ministry group on Facebook, The Potter Mission, you would have heard that we just, a few weeks ago, had a virtual Commencement Service for our first class of graduating students! It was sweet to see that take place knowing the backstories of […]

We Still Need Help

June 3, 2022

Just so you know, this part of the update is about our finances. If that’s not something you want to get into, please don’t skip the rest of the email, just move to the next post about our recent graduates! It’s been a few years since we were in a place like this where we […]

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 […]
