2 Weeks Since Arrival

July 24, 2019

From overseeing a roofing project, to car air-conditioner repairs, to planning an alarm system, to various things in between, Cameron’s been enjoying the jobs he’s being given to do. I, Katy, am helping him as we work on figuring out how we’ll organize the paperwork and communication side of things and brainstorm the best ways […]

Change

April 17, 2019

Moving…it’s the story of my life. In my (Katy) 31 years on earth I’ve lived in: 4 countries 5 states 11 towns Don’t feel like counting up the number of houses On top of that, as we look to our future, more moving is coming up. If you read our email update, you’ll know […]

Put granny in a bag

May 31, 2018

Wapane wanted to hear God’s Word, but the teaching was too far away. The Moi woman was too old to walk to another village in Asia-Pacific’s rugged Papua Province. Her plight literally became Ginogui’s burden: He put her in a large string bag, slung her over his shoulder, and carried her for hours over narrow, […]

Struggling to capture the essence of Africa

March 3, 2018

Africa is inspiring and overwhelming. I feel inadequate – incompetent, even – to capture the grandeur, the scope, the beauty, the colors of this land. We spent a little time in Dar Es Salaam, on the east coast of Tanzania. We flew to Mbeya, on the southeast of Tanzania, and drove to Keratu, on the […]

At work in Africa

February 21, 2018

I think that in the days before I left home for Africa, I must have said to Julie at least three times, “I like being overseas. It’s the getting there I’m not fond of.” Suffice it to say, that was even more true this time. But I must say, being rerouted onto Emirates was a […]

Bound for Africa

February 15, 2018

This weekend I leave for more than three weeks in Africa. And as I said before, I’ll be taking on a different role on this trip: photography and video. I’ve taken photos and captured video of our organization’s work before. For instance, I gathered the story and photos when I went to Thailand a year […]

Updates on ministry, son

Heading back to Africa At the end of February I’ll be going back to Africa. This time, I’ll be in East Africa to bring back stories of God working through an alliance of missionaries and local churches to begin the long process of making disciples among unreached people groups. Please pray for the details to […]

The Village in Pictures

November 17, 2017

Even though we live in town right now, we’ve been able to make multiple visits to the village our co-workers (Susie and Jen) have just moved into! We’re thankful that their houses were finished in time for Jen to spend a couple of weeks in the village before returning to the States for […]

You Know What Your Problem Is?

October 11, 2016

PRE-EVANGELISM “Pre-evangelism” is a term referring to the things a Christian does and says to prepare an unbeliever to hear the Gospel message. Pre-evangelism is necessary because most people you meet and wish to reach with the Gospel aren’t ready at that moment to understand and receive the truths from the Bible that God is […]

Road Trip, West Africa Style

October 6, 2016

In the beginning of August we traveled to Dakar for a literacy seminar. After looking at the price of plane tickets, we decided to brave it and drive. There are two routes to get there — and we knew we would probably need to stop two nights regardless of which of the two we took. We finally […]
