Even after living here in Mozambique for a year I am still amazed at the way the people here use their heads. They carry just about everything…and I mean just about everything on their heads. Those who have been to Africa know exactly what I mean. I wish I had photos of all the different […]

It has been really cool to see how God has used Lisa’s love for sewing and crafts as a means to get to know the ladies here.  At first it started out as what seemed like a “simple” project to a project that has taken several months so far.  Lisa accepted the task of sewing […]

There is absolutely nothing other than our American calendar that reminds us that Thanksgiving and Christmas are upon us.  No holiday decorations in the stores, cheery Christmas tunes on the radio or Salvation Army volunteers ringing their bells. Instead of long sleeves and jackets for the cooler temperatures we are experiencing indoor temperatures of 90 […]

I can’t really say enough about how blessed we are to be part of our small church community.  It has not taken long for us to realize how important “community” is here in Mozambique.  We have seen the church body rally around its members for happy occasions like weddings and very difficult times such as […]

Yesterday was a holiday to commemorate the city’s birthday so we asked our friends Michel and Margarida along with Jordina if they would be willing to accompany us into the city to observe and participate in some of the special activities.

Today is the day!  Still seems unreal, even after all the preparations in the past 14 months. It has been encouraging to have so many folks behind in prayer and giving.  It has been awesome seeing the Lord work out the details.  We are anxious to meet and be a part of our new team.  […]

Our move to Africa seemed so distant a year ago when we were answering questions about when we would go and what we would be doing. It even seemed a bit impossible a couple months ago when we calculated how much we still needed to fly over and get set up. It was so surreal […]

I consider myself extremely blessed by the mother God gave me.  Mom’s love for the Lord and desire to serve Him whether on the foreign mission field or in the USA has had a huge impact on my life. No matter what the circumstance she has always exhibited true contentment in the Lord. I am […]

One of the most dreaded questions for me as a missionary kid was “So, where are YOU from?” Even today when someone asks me that question I try to decide if they want to know where I was born, where I actually grew up or my current place of residence. After the seemingly endless job […]
