Tethered to the Shore

Tethered to the Shore

The Ethnos360 Training campus borders the Lake of the Ozarks, and Nick and I went out to the boat dock the other night to fish. The dock has a permanent tether to the shore, but it is also in constant motion with the water’s movement. That is how I feel about our ministry here: we […]

Within the first two weeks, our girls caught RSV and had a very difficult week fighting it off. I missed a week of teaching in childcare, and it was not the smooth beginning […]

Is He Worthy?

Is He Worthy?

Last month, we had the privilege of attending graduation here at Ethnos360 Training. We are so grateful that we had the opportunity to get to know the missionaries-in-training who graduated and are headed to Mexico, Papua New Guinea, the Philippines, and other countries. In each location, unreached people groups continue to live with no Bible […]
