Words of Encouragement

In our last update, we shared some of the health challenges facing Nick and Emmy. We are so grateful for all the prayers and encouragement you sent our way!

Merry Christmas and Thank You!

Living Water

August 7, 2023

It has been a hot summer here in Missouri, and water is always on our minds! It makes me think of John 4:14, when Jesus says, “Whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” […]

Tethered to the Shore

September 27, 2022

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 […]
