Safe at home

July 6, 2014

For those of you who were praying that we’d make it home to Colorado in one piece, THANKS! God saw fit to provide the finances, time and sanity we needed to make the journey a success. So now you can praise God with us that we made it to my childhood home and are still […]

An Official Invitation

October 21, 2013

We have just received a letter of invitation to join the NTM Communications team! While this doesn’t mean we’ve necessarily been accepted as missionaries with New Tribes Mission (we have to finish our training first), it does mean that we have a spot waiting for us within the mission. The communications department has officially requested […]

From Michigan to Missouri

August 19, 2013

Our little family spent most of this summer in our apartment on the second floor at New Tribes Bible Institute. Stephen worked over the summer and I tried to keep the kids busy. At the end of July my mom came to help us pack up our apartment. She packed up most of the kitchen […]

Code is Poetry

October 19, 2012

I could get used to this! Have you ever had a job where you started putting off other enjoyable hobbies because you’re just so excited to get to work? Well that’s where I’m at. It could have something to do with the “honeymoon” stage, but I am really enjoying my work with NTM communications! Some […]

Migration to the New Blog

September 9, 2012

So in order for me (Stephen) to get familiar with my future work environment, I’ve been set up with an NTM Blog already! I’m excited to be this much more official as we continue on our course to help see the Gospel brought to places it’s never been. Of course this means eventually switching over […]

Ministry in Sunny Florida

June 14, 2012

Today the Narwolds (minus Asa who’s with Nana and Bucka) are “enjoying” the wet heat of Central Florida at the New Tribes Mission USA Headquarters. The purpose for our trip was to meet with Macon Hare, the director of communications, about the possibility of us serving in that department after we finish our schooling. […]

First Big Assignment at NTBI

November 22, 2011

Well, I (Stephen) just handed in my first major paper (20+ hours of work), and am pretty excited about it. I’m not sure how I did grade-wise, but I feel like it’s a good paper and worth reading. It’s an exegetical paper, which means that it takes a particular passage (Jude verses 3 and 4 […]

Safe and Sound

June 9, 2011

Well, we’re in Wyoming! And no, we didn’t take a wrong turn. We’re at Rachel’s mom’s house in Wyoming, MI. Our trip was alright, and we’ve made it through all the stuff we’ve had to do so far. Next on the docket is Family Camp! The biggest hiccup in our plans has been Asa’s ear […]

On Our Way!

May 16, 2011

Well, it’s been a long wait, but we’re finally ready to take the next step in our plans to bring the gospel to an unreached people group! We feel that we have solid roots in our home church, and a good chunk of cash in savings. I’ve probably mentioned all this before, but since this […]

August Update and Camping Adventures

August 10, 2009

Rather than apologize profusely for not having updated in a long time, and promising to update at least X times per week, I’ve decided to just post about what we are doing! Rachel and I are now living in a different house! It’s actually a fairly nice house in a nice (upper-middle-class) neighborhood, complete with […]
