It’s always hard to believe at the end of the year how quickly time races by us. This year was no exception. A quick recap of 2013 gives us much to be thankful for. January-May – the year started with us continuing in our new roles in the Families in Ministry Department at the Missionary […]

Zach & Bethany’s Wedding

July 20, 2013

We made a short weekend trip to Wisconsin for Bethany’s graduation from New Tribes Bible Institute on May 18th. It was so special to be able to attend, especially seeing as we were not able to attend Charity and BJ’s Bible school graduations in 2010 and 2011 respectively. We were also able to see several good friends and coworkers […]

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 […]

Thank You, Lord

“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. It was a beneficial year of healing, rest, recuperation, and reconnecting with family and friends, for which we are thankful. Our physical and emotional state, and unforeseen circumstances (like […]
