We Have A Truck!

November 5, 2017

We have been praying for over a year, expecting God would provide the right truck… and now it’s here! After a dealer who had been helping us found the truck, we waited until he said it was ready to be picked up. Jordan got the call while we were in El Paso, ready to return […]

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 […]

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 […]

Return of the Stolen Laptop!

November 7, 2012

Amy and I found ourselves in shock Monday night, trying to wrap our minds around everything that had just happened. Sitting on the couch beside us was my stolen laptop – along with all of the peripherals that had been taken with it. Although the computer had at one point been completely taken apart, the […]

Laptop Stolen; Write-Up Gone!

October 29, 2012

It took me a minute to realize what had happened. I walked into my work space early Saturday morning, ready for a 12-hour workday that would wrap up my Cherokee linguistics write-up. After shutting the door behind me I carefully set my coffee cup on the table, then threw my jacket over the chair in […]

Almost there…

October 21, 2012

With nine weeks of Cherokee study complete, that means there is only one more to go! How has so much time flown by?

Back in the Groove

October 14, 2012

It’s only been five months since I (Jordan) analyzed my last linguistics problem… and while in some ways it seems like it’s been forever, for the most part everything is coming back quickly! The first of three write-up weeks is over, and 7.5-hour workdays in a quiet classroom have been very profitable. I estimate that […]
