Why Oshkosh

May 14, 2018

Is the goal of missions to glorify God by establishing thriving churches where there are none? What good things are NOT happening where the Church has not been planted and where there are no Christians? Our objective as mission mobilizers is to find people who will join us in reaching the people of unreached language […]

Today, If Ye Will Hear His Voice

May 8, 2018

Six, eight, ten years. That’s often how long it has taken from when we first met someone who was interested in missions, and asking a lot of questions, to the time they first arrived on the mission field as missionaries. A lot of people have come across our path over the years, even before our […]

Intentionally Good

January 24, 2018

And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, that is, God. Luke 18:19 As I meditate on this verse, I marvel that God would allow us to have any part in His work at all. Yet, redeemed by the blood of Christ and empowered by the Holy Spirit, He has sent us […]

Where’s the Herald?

December 20, 2017

“And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.” Luke 2:10 The birth of Christ lavishly illustrates our God who plans, loves, invites and acts. His intentional action for the benefit of us all is shown through the angel […]

Wayumi – Why Go?

December 8, 2017

What on earth is God doing? What is God’s will? What is life like for remote people who have no access to a Bible or Christian? What skills and gifts are needed for God’s purposes? How can we know who is “called”? What does personal sacrifice for the benefit of unreached language groups and eternal […]

More Of That

October 23, 2017

We bought eggs. We wanted more. We had eaten all the eggs in the house. We have had guests in our home almost every day this month and served eggs for meals all week long. We like serving eggs for meals in a variety of ways. Scrambled eggs. Fried eggs. Egg casseroles. Fried rice with […]

Come Give Up Everything

May 8, 2017

“Hi! Are you ready to give up everything you know to go tell someone you don’t know in a far away place about Jesus?” If asking people to serve overseas as career missionaries seems direct or unreasonable, it may be because we have not yet recognized the value of the offer. We know the difference between a […]

Who’s Asking

December 7, 2016

About 2500 entire language groups have no way to hear the Good News about what Jesus has done for them. What will happen to them? They will perish into an eternity of separation. What hope is there? Jesus has already paid the price for their sins and rose from the dead to clothe them in […]

Can you hear me?

September 27, 2016

Noise. You cannot hear me for the volume of noise surrounding you. People are pulling at you from every direction. “Help us with this!” “Listen to that!” “Buy more!” “Sell more!” They have amplifiers and flashing colors. I am lost in the noise. My voice is not heard. I am without Christ and without hope. There […]

Next Wave

July 1, 2016

What are we doing? We are working to build the next wave of missionaries who will reach tribes of people who know nothing of Jesus! Eternity is a long time to be separated from all that is good! That is especially true when the solution to our sin problem, the Good News about Jesus, is […]
