The Lord’s Purpose Prevails

November 15, 2018

In our August update, we shared that Amy’s post-partum depression symptoms had returned. Knowing she could not do well in mountain ministry while they persisted, we postponed our plans for two months of travel in the Midwest. When obtaining Mexican residency visas took longer than expected, Amy saw a doctor in Chihuahua – planning to […]

Furlough in Full Swing

May 17, 2018

April has come and gone… and with it, that nasty flu which started off our time in Spokane! Despite our best efforts, it doggedly trailed us for several days in Western Washington – but the lousy bug finally moved on and left us in peace, for which we are grateful. Despite all that, we greatly […]

First Weeks on Home Assignment

April 10, 2018

Arriving in Spokane, WA to begin our furlough with friends and family there, the last thing we expected was for a nasty flu bug to wipe us out… slowly and methodically over the course of eight or nine very rough days! Yet as one busy season is exchanged for another, we saw our faithful God […]

Back Stateside

March 15, 2018

Well, you guys – after testing out of national language study in early February, our life has been filled with a flurry of packing and planning! But God has continued to sustain us, and – with a TON of help from both family and friends – we finished our preparations and are on the move! […]

The End of an Era

February 16, 2018

We have some pretty exciting news to share! As January gave way to February, it seemed clear I’d taken large strides since my previous language evaluation. Our consultants scheduled an assessment of my Spanish speaking abilities… and I passed! The same day I was evaluated, we learned I had graduated “with flying colors” from our […]

(Don’t) Think Before You Speak

January 21, 2018

Have you ever been told to “think before you speak?” Just hearing this phrase can easily bring back memories of embarrassing reasons for which we’ve heard it before! This oft-repeated idiom, so foundational that we consider it common sense, echoes recurring themes in Biblical teaching – such as Solomon’s counsel in Ecclesiastes 5:2 (NKJV) “[to] […]

Christmas 2017 Newsletter!

January 5, 2018

Merry Christmas from the Husbands! 2017 was a trying year at times, yet God’s faithfulness shines brightly when we rest in Him despite difficult circumstances. This year, each up and down brought us great joy as we saw God express His love for us personally – and we trust you can say the same as […]

We Have A Truck!

November 5, 2017

We have been praying for over a year, expecting God would provide the right truck… and now it’s here! After a dealer who had been helping us found the truck, we waited until he said it was ready to be picked up. Jordan got the call while we were in El Paso, ready to return […]

A Man’s Heart Plans … but the Lord Directs

August 30, 2017

Before my language evaluation in late June, Amy and I prayed together several times regarding the results. We had a lot of questions about the new testing standard I was pioneering for NTM Mexico, and I felt a lot of pressure to test out and be done! With Amy’s formal studies completed, my own goal […]

One Body, Many Members

July 12, 2017

Several years ago, I worked for a small company specializing in online event registration. My job was to design and manage websites – ranging from those providing information for single large events, to others serving as permanent homepages for summer camps and sports leagues. As a one-man division I created themes for each event, trained […]
