Hearing the Word

May 6, 2016

Our recent visits to the Nahuatl and Tepehuan church plants were primarily intended to help us understand what it would look like to join one of those teams. But we had other goals as well! One of these was to practically assist each team – in some way, however small – with making Christ known […]

Tribal Visit: BG

March 17, 2016

By way of review: our family has begun prayerfully considering with which people group we will work in the years to come. In November, we wrote of plans to begin visiting church plant locations in Mexico – the shortage of workers right now makes opening a new work highly unlikely, so we have focused on […]

And then there were four…

February 11, 2016

No kidding, you guys… the Husband family is growing by one! (Well, we are presuming that’s its one for now.) Elayne, Titus and Joel will be welcoming a new little brother or sister to our home sometime in October of this year – details to follow as we learn them!

We’re Going Deep!

November 18, 2015

Back in junior high, one of the coolest things I had ever seen was a music video put together by my church, set to Steven Curtis Chapman’s ‘Dive (Deeper).’ Honestly, it still gets me pretty excited! You see, in this video a bunch of distinguished-looking pastors, each immaculately dressed in suit and tie, suddenly up […]

Keeping Busy

October 13, 2015

Greetings from Chihuahua! Usually, we try to send a blog post out every month, but September has been one of our busiest months since arriving… so we have a short update mid-October instead! (Don’t worry, we plan on returning to our regular schedule with a longer post at the end of October). So, what have […]

Life in México: What’s Changed?

August 31, 2015

You probably won’t be surprised to hear that some things have changed after a year living in a different country! After all, life ‘elsewhere’ is always full of so many new things: unique experiences, unexpected encounters, and exposure to a broad range of changes in the surrounding language and culture. As our family marks our […]

Milestones: Teaching for the First Time

July 28, 2015

Have Amy or I ever mentioned that learning a foreign language and culture is hard? Our primary job these days is just that: Culture and Language Acquisition, or CLA for short. It’s a long-term project aimed at preparing us to clearly communicate the Gospel into another language and worldview… with as close to native proficiency […]

A Glimpse of the Future

June 7, 2015

Last week, our family traveled a couple hours from home to attend NTM Mexico’s biannual field conference. This was a time we’d eagerly anticipated since before our arrival in Chihuahua… yet it always seemed so far away, separated from us by months of hard work and study. Well, the time was finally upon us – […]

Sundays in Spanish

April 22, 2015

Coming from a typical small-town country church in the United States, Amy and I knew we were in for some changes when going to church in Mexico. Between differences in language and culture, it seemed obvious that our definition of a ‘typical’ Sunday morning service would change somewhat! While some of the specific adjustments in […]

6 months, and then some!

February 27, 2015

It occurred to Amy and I a few days back that we’ve been in Mexico for half a year. Believe it or not, we’re actually closer to the seven-month mark now than six! And crazy as it seems that so much time has passed, it’s pretty cool to look back and see how God blessed […]
