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.” […]

Good Gifts

March 13, 2023

We had a wonderful trip to Pennsylvania in January, and we are so glad to be home in Missouri now! Thank you to everyone who connected with us and hosted us. God met our partnership needs during our trip, providing new prayer and financial partners. This is exciting because it means we can keep serving […]

Away From Home

January 24, 2023

We may be a few weeks late, but Happy New Year! We celebrated the start of 2023 during our partnership development trip, which wraps up in about a week. We wanted to share some highlights from our trip and what God is doing in our lives. We arrived in Pennsylvania for Christmas, and we have […]

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 […]

Faithful in the Old and New

July 15, 2022

I took the girls on a walk and realized it was time for our yearly picture…the third one of its kind! We are entering our third year of ministry here at Ethnos360 Training. God is so faithful to our family in the ways that He sustains us. It made me reflect on our previous two […]

Reflections and Resolutions

January 12, 2022

Happy New Year! I love celebrating the start of a new year because it reminds me that God upheld us through the past year, and we can count on that faithfulness as we enter a new one. It can be tempting to put our hope in our own goals, resolutions, or plans for the year. But […]

A Rocky Start and a Renewed Focus

September 15, 2021

Last month, classes began on campus. We were so excited to start a new semester and meet the new students, families, and childcare kids. 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 […]

One Year Later

July 13, 2021

One year ago, we arrived at the Ethnos360 Training campus. It is great to realize that one year later, we have definitely settled in and feel at home. We are so excited to enter our second year serving on staff here! In January, we talked about the word EQUIP and how God set that thought […]

2021: EQUIP

January 25, 2021

A new year has begun, and a new semester is underway here at Ethnos360 Training. God continues to give wisdom to our campus leadership and grace to all of us, staff and students, as we navigate the precautions needed to continue in training. We are so thankful for the 87 missionary candidates who are in […]

Not All About Me

November 12, 2020

This month’s update does not have much news, as we are preparing a year-end review to mail out next month that looks back on our year of ministry as well as some news from Ethnos360 church planters around the world. I (Kathy) just wanted to share a short, simple lesson that I continue to learn […]
