overdue america blog

May 10, 2016

This blog has been a long time coming… You know by now that I process life through words (and coffee!), but for some reason or another, sometimes the words aren’t there. Blogging became a burden, so I decided to take a break. I think I can officially declare this the end of that blogging break. […]

kingdom cool tools

February 23, 2016

A couple of days ago, I shared a post on Facebook and Instagram talking about a recent “funk” I was in and am now out of (praise Jesus!). I also shared that I’m going to America in March with Josh when he goes for his training!! This is such an answer to our prayers, and […]

twin kodiaks

January 16, 2016

It’s been a whirlwind of routine (is that a thing?) since we finished with Christmas and started back to work. But the exciting stuff is happening at the hangar! Two of our pilots have left for their Kodiak training in Spokane, Washington (at Spokane Turbine Center). When they return in a few weeks, they’ll begin […]

A Family Affair

January 1, 2016

We often share with folks that it’s our heart’s desire this work we are privileged to participate in be a family ministry (not just daddy’s job).

Legends & Laymen

December 24, 2015

Several weeks ago I had the incredible and unexpected privilege of hitching a ride on a legendary airplane with an equally legendary pilot. Over the years I’ve had other phenomenal opportunities, like flying one of America’s frontline, high-performance jets and taking to the friendly skies aboard aircraft which serve our nation’s highest leaders, but this […]

It feels like I am so behind on my blogging. I can’t write fast enough to keep up with the many goings on of life in PNG. I have completed my training as the medical clinic receptionist, and am now checked off to work by myself. I ask the nurses and doctors a lot of […]

Freedom

November 9, 2015

“So there I was…” I know, it’s a bit cliché to start out a story that way but I will nonetheless. I was hanging out on a peak in the Swisshelm Mountains, marveling at the rugged grandeur of the landscape surrounding me. It was part of an advanced helicopter training flight for one of the […]

God’s Love Never Fails…Please Pray

September 22, 2011

Something that could only controlled by God’s sovereignty happened in the last 36 hours. I’ve been involved, in small ways, in preparing to have tribal church planters Mike and Libby Wild, speak during chapel here at NTBI this Thursday morning. I met Mike and Libby almost exactly 4 years ago. We had just arrived to […]

Kodiak – Just a big hunk of metal?

January 13, 2010

It's not really about a plane. The Kodiak is really just a big hunk of metal. What is great is it's going to transport missionaries into remote areas to share the Gospel.
