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:
The PD Weekly: Intro, August 24
Hey all – welcome to a new feature on our blog, the PD Weekly! And now the question on your mind almost certainly is… “What’s a PD Weekly?!” So glad you asked! “Partnership Development,” or ‘PD’ for short, is what we call this season of planning, packing, raising support, ministry, and sharing our vision for […]
Self-Discipline
Healthy self-discipline is difficult. One day last week, there was nothing I wanted to do less than my scheduled workout for the day: twenty minutes of non-stop curls, lunges and push-ups. I would rest from each move by doing the other two, and only after the time was up would I be free to stop. […]
Marking Milestones
During our training with New Tribes Mission, Amy and I were challenged to reflect on our relationship with God. As I sat and thought through those years, it was encouraging to recall some of the amazing things God had done through and around my life.

Goodbyes and Hellos

Happy Birthday, Amy!
Yesterday, we had a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the life of my wonderful bride! Amy’s birthday gave us an excuse to pause from the busyness of life and thank God for everything He has given us in her – an amazing mother, loving wife, and incredible partner in ministry before the Lord.
Pressing On
Our family continues to be busy since the unexpected headaches I (Jordan) experienced last month! (You can click those links for a reminder of what happened). We continue to share with others how so many people in Mexico still live without access to the Gospel, and encourage them to partner with us so that those […]
Unexpected Headaches
Most people have headaches semi-frequently throughout life – and I (Jordan) am no exception! A little pain on the brain here and there is not a foreign concept, and many a time I’ve been thankful beyond words to life in an era of Tylenol and Aleve! Yet even a lifetime of headaches hadn’t prepared me […]
Train Up A Child
As our family prepares for ministry in Mexico, we continue to focus on ministry in the home – in other words, teaching our kids about Jesus! As incredibly excited as we are to share the Gospel in a different language and culture, our first priority will always be to reach the wonderful children God has […]
