A Thaimline

We’re just under a month away from the BIGGEST trip Bethany and I have taken since before we were connected with most of you. Let’s see what you remember about that…where did Bethany and I serve way back in 2006-2008? Anyway, I’m going to use a stroke of dad-joke genius and lay out the timeline, […]

Hope… a dangerous word

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

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 […]

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

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?

Overdue fines?

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…

It’s Been a Year…

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 […]
