Why Study Linguistics?

May 6, 2013

Over the past two weeks, Amy and I have met with dozens of people in a double handful of meetings – challenging them to participate in fulfilling the Great Commission. We cannot overlook the 2.1 billion people today who don’t have access to God’s Word, simply because there are no believers in their 2,000 languages […]

Happy Birthday, Amy!

April 20, 2013

Yesterday, we had a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the life of my wonderful bride! Amy’s birthday gave us an excuse to pause from the busyness of life and thank God for everything He has given us in her – an amazing mother, loving wife, and incredible partner in ministry before the Lord.

Pressing On

April 1, 2013

Our family continues to be busy since the unexpected headaches I (Jordan) experienced last month! (You can click those links for a reminder of what happened). We continue to share with others how so many people in Mexico still live without access to the Gospel, and encourage them to partner with us so that those […]

Quick Update

March 12, 2013

The results from my (Jordan’s) MRI on Friday are back – I do not have an aneurysm. Praise the Lord! We will still have to work through a process of figuring out what DID happen, and how to avoid it in the future. It will likely be painful, as some trial and error will be […]

Unexpected Headaches

March 7, 2013

Most people have headaches semi-frequently throughout life – and I (Jordan) am no exception! A little pain on the brain here and there is not a foreign concept, and many a time I’ve been thankful beyond words to life in an era of Tylenol and Aleve! Yet even a lifetime of headaches hadn’t prepared me […]

As incredibly excited as we are to share the Gospel in a different language and culture, our first priority will always be to reach the wonderful children God has […]

Unfinished Business

January 6, 2013

For the Husband family, Christmastime came and went happily. We rejoiced as we celebrated the hope we have in Christ, given to us by God over two thousand years ago. And, rather than just returning to ‘normal life’, we hope to see “…the joy of Christmastide / within our hearts this year abide.” Jesus’ birth […]
