Janelle’s Post

May 3, 2014

So my dad just gave me the rather difficult task of describing what’s going on in what I consider to be us Richardson kids’ very normal lives. We had our very multi-national youth group of about 20 people over for a movie night last night, which was fun. We have representatives from North and South […]

Vacation – A Couple Days to Relax

May 3, 2014

We Richardson’s have been blessed with a diverse family. That does lead to challenges when choosing a vacation venue. Last week we decided to split up in pursuit of relaxation and refreshment. Michael took two of the kids to the beach; Jessica stayed home with the other. Austin and Emily decided that camping in the […]

Keeping our Kids Safe

April 16, 2014

Child abuse – it’s right up at the top of our list of “worst sins.” Despite the stigma abusers exist in just about every place that children are to be found. Mission settings have their own set of challenges and our leadership has taken a proactive stance. A few weeks ago a colleague and I […]

I love my job!

April 5, 2014

I usually don’t like to announce my trips (for security reasons), but I sure love to talk about them once I get back. I get to work with such amazing people in such interesting places! Like Stephen and his pastor (pictured above). I was recently in Tanzania for two and a half weeks consulting with […]

Tanzania adventures

November 30, 2013

In November, I (Michael) got to meet and serve some amazing people, as I traveled from Mozambique to Tanzania to work with our co-workers and receive further consultant training. First I worked with our Tanzanian team, which now consists of seven families. It was really encouraging to see our first team member there reach what […]

Our office has moved

August 27, 2013

For many years, NTM Mozambique has enjoyed renting an office in a nice neighborhood that’s not too far from downtown. Unfortunately, the rent price kept going up. We finally had to move. Thank you, Wycliffe Bible Translators for renting us some space. We are moved and pretty much up and running. May this office continue […]

Digging out a dry well

October 22, 2012

Someone asked while we were on home assignment, what physical obstacle are you dreading going back to in Mozambique. For me (Michael), it’s water – or the lack thereof. Sure enough, when we got back the water situation needed attention. We have three sources: rain (we have two more months of dry season), city pipe […]

Home Assignment Accomplished

October 22, 2012

A big thank you to everyone who blessed us this last year while we were on home assignment. The Lord answered our prayers as we traveled many miles safely, ate in many of your homes without gaining too much weight and had many opportunities to share about the kingdom of light overcoming the kingdom of […]

Fishing looks different in Canada

July 24, 2012

Growing up in South America I didn’t do a lot of fishing but what I did was with a simple line and hook with some sort of bait. I got to do a little more of the same kind of fishing in Venezuela. The trick was to keep the piranha off the hook long enough […]

Just Passing Through

April 30, 2012

Imagine a man, ready to start a journey, standing in the middle of a long road that stretches off into the distance. He doesn’t know what is in front of him and what all he will pass through. He anticipates the joy of discovering new things and building new relationships. He is awed by God’s […]
