Unbelief

April 17, 2020

First published April 1, 2020 I try to make a habit of reading through our missionaries’ updates, the newsletters from my co-workers. I want to know what’s going on with them and sometimes, with permission, I like to share their stories on our social media. A few weeks ago, I read one from a friend […]

Invested Lives

March 15, 2020

If you’ve followed my email newsletter (I send them about once a month. If you’re not getting them and would like to, let me know) you may remember that I’m doing a Bible Study Fellowship (BSF) study through Acts. Every few chapters it veers off to another book of the Bible— this week it was […]

It Takes Time

January 26, 2020

(Originally posted November 16, 2019) Something that has started to stand out to me as I continue in this Bible Study through Acts, is the amount of time that passes. In reading Acts before, I was under the impression that things happened one thing after the other in a matter of months. But in reality, […]

Just one job!

August 20, 2019

So on my recent trip to Australia on break with dear friends from home, we drove along the coast with breathtaking views around every curve (see video clip) and my friend who was driving on the left-hand side of the road/right-hand side of the car, told a funny story about how when you’re the driver, […]

You Want Me to Do What?

March 11, 2019

Yes, Summer, you must do what we do, you have to kill a chicken. And in my head I think, “No I don’t.” (Read with the attitude and entitlement of a 4-year-old talking back to a parent). I wrestled with this for the 24 hours before I was meant to kill the chicken. Why am […]

Balance

February 25, 2019

I’m sure this is something every new missionary faces and everyone in a new stage of life or in transition or some even on a daily basis. The routines that are normal for you are up in the air, there are new opportunities, new people, new priorities. How do you choose? Everything is up for grabs- […]

With Us

December 21, 2018

This forest of trees represents the team of people partnering with me to send me to Papua New Guinea. The trees are made from the proof pages of Bible translations in tribal languages. Pray for these translation projects going on around the world. So, I’m getting close. In less than 3 weeks now, I take […]

Forward Steps

December 11, 2018

So in my last post I talked about God’s Global Purpose for Israel in the Old Testament. This time let’s look at the last instructions Jesus gave His disciples in the New Testament- The Great Commission: “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the […]

God’s Global Purposes

October 1, 2018

Throughout the Bible, God asks His people to spread His name and His glory to those who don’t know Him. In Genesis 12:1-3 Abraham is told that he will be made into a great nation and be blessed and that all peoples on the earth will be blessed through him. He is blessed to be […]

How did I get here?

June 22, 2018

Here I am in Sanford, Florida, home office of Ethnos360, hearing from missionaries who have served all over the world— lives dedicated to seeing “unreached people” reached with the gospel. I am at a Pre-field Orientation preparing to “go” to Papua New Guinea, a place that still takes me awhile to find on the map, […]
