Happy Spring

April 30, 2013

We are enjoying spring in the Ozarks, even though the cold weather has lingered a little longer than usual. It is amazing to think that, even with all of today’s technology, no human can change the weather! Our God is still all-powerful and still in control! These past months we, along with John’s sister, have been helping […]

Our Faithful God!

He did it again! “Faithful is He who calls you, and He also will bring it to pass.” I Thessalonians 5:24 We have been convinced God called us to this new ministry at New Tribes Missionary Training Center; He has confirmed it to us over and over again. However, when told we needed at least […]

Hello, Starting Aug. 27th I started attending Moody Bible Institute in Chicago. This past semester has been filled with many different lessons.

“Be still and know that I am God” Psalm 46:10 As we take time to be still and reflect on God and who He is, we realize once again that we have so much to be thankful for! Besides all the material things God has blessed us with, God’s character alone gives us reason to rejoice with […]

Reflections on God’s Leading

October 21, 2012

As we look back at our time since leaving Brazil, we marvel at how quickly our time of home assignment, from June 2011 through July 2012, went by.

God’s Perfect Timing

We are loving Spring in the Ozarks! Seeing new life all around us is a wonderful reminder of the new life in Christ that we have. After the incredible sacrifice of His life for us, our Savior overcame death, and has enabled us with that same power! “That I may know him, and the power of his […]

SAME but DIFFERENT

March 1, 2012

As humans, most of us don’t like change; it is hard to face. Even though we have faced many changes this year, we recognize the things that have remained the same: 1) our desire to serve the Lord, 2) our vision of reaching the unreached for Christ, 3) continuing with New Tribes Mission (NTM), and […]
