Forward Motion
In less than one hundred days – ninety-eight, to be precise – our family will depart the City of Spokane in order to travel to Chihuahua, Mexico. That’s only three months and one week left to go… crazy!
New Life
Our family has some very exciting news to share with you! As we teach our children about the Lord, we have watched Elayne in particular grow in understanding of her need for God’s mercy. She had come to understand that she was separated from God because of her sin – that the Bible stories we […]
Conferences!
As we continue preparing for moving to Mexico, Amy and I are excited to take part in a couple upcoming missions conferences! Our primary goal while in the States is missions education: we love sharing stories of the Gospel proclaimed, and God’s purpose in His missions plan for every church and believer! Missions conferences are […]
133 Days and Counting…
July 9th, 2014. Looking at my calendar, I see that July 9th will be a Wednesday this year. It’s the 190th day of the year and the 19th day of (official) summer. It will mark the births of OJ Simpson, Tom Hanks, Courtney Love, and Fred Savage… as well as that of a plumber named […]
Watch Our Team Grow!

In fact, don’t be […]

Noticias de (News from) México
God continues to clarify the timing of our family’s transition to Mexico, and we still feel a bit like Dorothy caught up in that Kansas tornado! Everything swirls around us at an incredible rate, and as the dust settles it’s amazing to see how much is changing. We find this tightening our focus on the […]
Acceleration
In last week’s post, we shared that God had brought our partnership team up to 60% of our recommended field budget. While there is still some way to go, we have come very close to official permission to make travel plans! Beyond that, we also saw God removing several imposing obstacles: simplifying the logistics of […]
Rounding Third & Heading Home…
One year ago, our family began working full-time to find partners for extending the Gospel further into Mexico. We knew then that we would be required to raise 75% of our recommended budget before we’d be allowed to make travel plans… and that financial goal seemed a very long distance from where we stood! How […]
