When God is working…

August is cranking by, isn’t it?  It seems funny the way summer seemed to take forever to get here with the way “spring” got started, but now that the fall is on the horizon time seems to be speeding up!  Thank God that at least He is constant.  July was spent doing a lot of […]

A couple of months for the books…

Well, we have officially kicked off the much needed ministry partner development time! We’ve been looking forward to this time when we can dedicate our energies toward connecting with new partners and reconnecting with long time partners.

New (-ish) and Hot!

New (-ish) and Hot!

God has been showing His faithfulness and generosity in ways that even I cannot miss!  MANY of you were challenged and responded to Tamara’s post on Facebook about things falling apart.  THANK YOU!       Through some MASSIVELY GENEROUS gifts, we were sent on a scavenger hunt for a vehicle that was “appropriate” for our […]

What’s going on with you guys?

What’s going on with you guys?

Well that’s a loaded question!  A lot has been going on with the Mathew family in Jackson, Michigan.  And that last sentence may be an understatement.  Life has been pretty exciting for us as of the last six months!   We have added another life to the menagerie of noise in our house, and Jonah […]
