Facing Uncertainty

March 24, 2020

I think it’s safe to say that the last few weeks have raised a lot of questions for everyone. Thankfully, God’s work has not stopped. We urge you to seek God and put His eternal purposes above all else. Who can you reach in this unusual situation? How can you join God in His missional […]

Active Waiting

February 21, 2020

Thank you for praying for us! When January came and “our plans” of moving didn’t happen, we felt discouraged. There are pressing staff needs at the Missionary Training Center…why would God keep us waiting?! But, thanks to your prayers for us, God has changed our perspective and given us so much joy. Here are some […]

Questions, Answers, and A Few Unknowns

January 27, 2020

Q: When do we move to Missouri? A: As of right now, we can move when we reach our recommended monthly financial support level from Ethnos360, and we are about 40% short of that. Our prayer is as soon as possible, sometime in the next few months. We’ll keep you posted! Lately, we have gotten […]

The Living WORD

December 13, 2019

She will give birth to a son, and you will name him Jesus, because He will save His people from their sins. Matthew 1:21, NCV One of Naomi’s memory verses this month is Matthew 1:21, and it has been such a blessing to repeat daily: “He will save His people from their sins.” We have […]

Gratitude and Awe

November 6, 2019

As we respond to God about the events of the past month, the best words that come to mind are gratitude and awe. We have been blessed to see God answer prayers in tangible ways, and our response is awe at how He works. He loves the church, and He will provide for its growth. […]

Walking with JOY

October 5, 2019

This past weekend, Naomi ran her first race, a ½ mile kids’ run. Naomi has been “training” for weeks and was so excited…but she got sick the night before and ended up walking and being carried through most of her race. But that didn’t curb her joy for her Gatorade and her trophy at the […]

Numbers of Encouragement

August 27, 2019

94 students just started a new semester at the Missionary Training Center (MTC). How encouraging to see so many people studying and training to reach the unreached with the Gospel! We are more excited than ever to play a role there (Lord willing in January). 30 kids attend childcare at the MTC! Kathy’s looking forward […]

Every Need Met

July 24, 2019

Lately, Naomi has started her mornings by asking, “Where are we going today?” In June, we traveled from Wisconsin, to Florida, to Pennsylvania, and now that we are “settled” in Pennsylvania, we have kept up a busy schedule of meetings, visits, and local traveling. Even so, God has provided: we are blessed to live above […]

PFO, MPD, MTC…What?

June 29, 2019

For the past few weeks, we have been in Sanford, Florida at the Ethnos360 Home Office for Pre-Field Orientation (PFO). It was a ten-day course that introduced us to membership in the mission. We learned about Ethnos360’s core values, its strategy in world missions, the dynamics of life in ministry, and how to develop a […]

Boast in the Lord

May 19, 2019

Praise God for answered prayers! In our last update, we asked for prayer as Nick prepared for surgery, we finished classes, and we looked for housing in Pennsylvania. Well, we have exciting news about each of those requests: Nick’s ear surgery was a success! The hole in his ear drum (which he’s had since childhood) […]
