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 […]

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 – […]

Here Comes the Summer!

May 21, 2015

Summer heat in Chihuahua is almost legendary! Since arriving last August, any conversation around heat or cold has usually ended in a warning: just wait until it starts getting hot in May! (And don’t even mention the humidity of summer’s wet season…) Well those daily highs are regularly hitting the 90s, cloudless days are the […]

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 […]

A Trip to Tepehuán Country

March 22, 2015

Two weeks ago, I had the privilege to travel with a work team to one of NTM Mexico’s church plant locations. Our primary job was to fix up Matt and Starr Arnolds’ house in the town of ‘BG’ – roof leaks under prior ownership had led to a major infestation of black mold, which caused […]
