The PD Weekly: September 28
This has certainly been a week for much-appreciated fellowship!
The PD Weekly: September 21
Just a quick update for this past week! Much of our time has been spent on logistics; specifically, NTM USA and NTM Mexico both have lengthy ‘before you go’ documents for us to go through, and we have been doing so.
The PD Weekly: September 14
As missionaries, our focus is so often primarily centered on what God is doing there rather than here. Training, preparing, sharing, and going – these are the verbs which describe the direction of our daily workflow: toward Mexico! Yet God is always at work everywhere, and one of the most exciting updates this week (for […]
The PD Weekly: September 7
This was one of those times where our plans for the week were suddenly and unexpectedly rearranged by something else God had in mind: in this case, the birth of our nephew, Timothy James Greenslade!
The PD Weekly: August 31
This past week has been a huge encouragement for Amy and I! Coming back into the ‘swing of things’ post-yardsale, we found we had some follow-up work to do:

Each vivid memory reminded me of God’s enduring faithfulness, and […]
Goodbyes and Hellos
After two months of travel and fellowship, our time in Seattle (and the surrounding areas!) is done and we’ve returned to Spokane! Sometimes I wonder if we’ll ever get used to the push and pull of our travel: always saying goodbye to dear friends and family on one side, yet going directly from there to […]
Why Study Linguistics?
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 […]
