With two weeks of construction behind us, things look really good out here in Las Moras. The walls are basically done – on Monday morning, we’ll place the final lintel… and expect the final four rows of adobes on the west wall to be in place by midday. Next week, the adobe foremen will continue […]

One week down, and a whole lot of progress has been made. The Nahuatl master builders are fantastic, and have impressed Don with their craftsmanship. The walls are just over 60% of the height needed for this stage of the build. Being so far ahead of the game, we’re starting to plan other tasks for […]

Don and I arrived yesterday in good time. All our prep was done before arriving, and we got our campsite up quickly before having dinner with the team here. Our shower got built today, and we attended church with the Nahuatl believers. Super encouraging stuff! A new photo of the build should go up most […]

Here We Go!

February 26, 2019

Hey all – Jordan here. This thing is really happening, so buckle up! On Sunday, I headed down from El Paso to Chihuahua. Saying goodbye to Amy and the kids for nearly seven weeks was hard for us all… and after a week together at that future point, we’ll do it again for another four. […]

His Sufficiency in All Things

January 21, 2019

A couple days before Christmas, I joined a few local church friends in traveling to El Paso’s ‘other half’ – Cuidad Juárez, our sister city in México. Believers at Beth El Bible Church had donated food, toys, and clothing for the past several weeks – all to make Christmas parties possible for children in some […]

Christmas 2018 Newsletter!

December 23, 2018

Merry Christmas from the Husbands! As another year winds to a close, it’s amazing to think just how different some of its details came out in comparison with what we expected. Yet no matter how circumstances surprise us, God’s faithfulness never changes… and the unexpected changes themselves may be the best means to draw our […]

The Lord’s Purpose Prevails

November 15, 2018

In our August update, we shared that Amy’s post-partum depression symptoms had returned. Knowing she could not do well in mountain ministry while they persisted, we postponed our plans for two months of travel in the Midwest. When obtaining Mexican residency visas took longer than expected, Amy saw a doctor in Chihuahua – planning to […]

Signatures and Fingerprints!

September 20, 2018

Walking into the Immigration office earlier this month, we were greeted with an unanticipated question. “Are you here to do signatures and fingerprints?” Though unexpected, the question was not a huge shock – we knew some coworkers had just been in to take care of that stage of the residency visa process, and imagined the […]

Visa Updates and Changing Plans

August 24, 2018

In our last update, we shared an urgent prayer request: our Mexican residency visas were up for renewal, but a particular high-level official was suddenly rejecting documents which have always previous been accepted. If our applications were denied, it would mean restarting an expensive four-year process before we could receive permanent residency. A last-minute letter […]

Urgent Prayer: Visas

July 30, 2018

This weekend, we need to renew our Mexican residency visas. After living here for four years, we are eligible for permanent residency – which eliminates the need for future renewals, saving us time and money from now on. Unfortunately, we have encountered a big problem. In the United States it is understood that a woman […]
