Housing Update

March 31, 2011

Habari za jioni marafiki wangu wote! Good evening all my friends! This is a brief update on a couple of hot topics. Our language training is going very well! We feel like we are absorbing so much.

A World of Difference

March 16, 2011

Hujambo! Karibu! That means Hello! Welcome! These are two phrases we have become familiar with since our arrival in Tanzania. We have taken a ride from end of the spectrum of emotions all the way to the other end, and it hasn’t even been two weeks yet! We got set up in some temporary living […]

Knowing Peace

February 16, 2011

It’s difficult to really capture one’s emotions and splatter them onto paper (or a computer keyboard). Our family is just 14 days away from departing for Tanzania.

Travel Costs

December 10, 2010

Now for the fun part!!! We want everyone to know how exceptionally, exceedingly, abundantly, awe-inspiring our God is! The Pastor challenged the church to raise the funds to cover the cost of our tickets. Putting it into perspective, we are expecting the tickets, taxes, baggage fees, etc, to push the cost over $4,000. Some of […]

Hello brothers, sisters, friends, co-laborers! Well, last Sunday was a very special day. Amy and I went to church early on Sunday in order to meet with the Pastors and Deacons; they got to hear all about our desire to reach Tanzania and they prayed over us. This was the first in a series of […]

We Found a Church!

December 8, 2008

Praise the Lord! After a couple of months going to different churches to see where we would fit in best we have found our niche. We have gone to Community Baptist Church in Lebanon, MO. The people there are so warm and friendly. We are looking forward to getting involved in some of the ministries […]
