Carrying a Full Load

July 6, 2016

AMY: Sitting in our first Spanish language classes almost two years ago, I was very pregnant with Joel. It was so exciting to be in Mexico, beginning to catch bits of the language and expecting our third child! Little did I know that less than eighteen months later I would be pregnant once more and […]

A Team, a Tribe, and a Truck

May 24, 2016

Over the past few months, our family has prayerfully considered where God would have us go after Chihuahua. We have examined the options before us, sought counsel from incredible brothers and sisters in Christ, and ultimately waited on God to make this clear in His timing. All this taught us much about trusting our loving […]

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!

Tribal Visit: Las Moras

January 31, 2016

In our November update, we shared our plans to begin visiting church plant locations here in Mexico. This is something that we’ve looked forward to greatly, working hard in Spanish that we might be ready to start work in one such location! Our first visit came in mid-December, permitting us a week with the missionary […]

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 […]
