Thankfulness Through Seasons of Growth

February 13, 2018

Thank you for praying for our family through Jacklyn’s pregnancy. Though it’s not over yet, the morning sickness has dramatically improved and we are so grateful to be functioning within a semi-normal routine once again. Jacklyn has a renewed appreciation for the ability to cook meals, wash dishes and laundry, and accomplish other basic household […]

bad blogger

October 3, 2017

Wow, it’s been since MAY that I blogged last. They say it’s bad blogging etiquette to say “It’s been SO LONG. I’m sorry I’m a bad blogger. It’s been super busy.” But you know what? It has. Ministry: There have been more medevacs, which means both Josh and I work extra. From July 2016 to […]

Of scripture checking, ammonia poisoning and things that steal your joy

February 24, 2017

Then he said to them, “Go your way, eat the fat, drink the sweet, and send portions to those for whom nothing is prepared; for this day is holy to our Lord. Do not sorrow, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.” Nehimiah 8:10 (NKJV) Joy for the believer is a God-given gladness […]

quieter community

February 10, 2017

Things are lot quieter around here than the last time I wrote. I’ve gone back to part time in the clinic, which has given me a lot more free -time to build up some of those relationships that fell by the wayside as I inched my way towards burnout. I’ve joined a ladies Bible study, […]

I haven’t written in the last few months, but there has been so much going on! Josh and I have been really, really, really busy. No, really. 🙂 NTMA has been working really hard at getting the flight program back on track, a process that has been going on for a couple of years now. […]

july highlights

August 6, 2016

How can it be August already? Howww?? Time is moving way too fast right now. I thought that summer would be slow and boring, but boy, was I wrong. It has been so busy and so full that I’m not sure I can even remember everything we’ve done! I just know that there hasn’t been […]

July 10, 2016

I’ve been a bit gunshy since my last post. I shared all about my trip into the bush to help put on a little preventative clinic for a village; since most of you who read here regularly know I work in the medical clinic this shouldn’t surprise you. However, the rest of the world is […]

tribal trip

June 9, 2016

Last week I mentioned that I was heading into a tribal location to help our medical staff run a vaccine clinic, but due to some inclement weather on both ends, it was delayed until the next day. Since we knew that the weather in this location can get real bad real fast, we opted for […]

the quest for kodiaks

May 25, 2016

Three years ago, New Tribes Mission Aviation’s quest for a Kodiak for Papua New Guinea began. It was one based on the need to replace our older, less efficient 206 program with the newer, more efficient (and let’s face it, much cooler) aircraft, the Quest Kodiak. This is an airplane designed by bush pilots with […]
