A Rocky Start and a Renewed Focus

September 15, 2021

Last month, classes began on campus. We were so excited to start a new semester and meet the new students, families, and childcare kids. Within the first two weeks, our girls caught RSV and had a very difficult week fighting it off. I missed a week of teaching in childcare, and it was not the smooth beginning […]

A Busy Summer!

September 11, 2021

By the time this hits your inboxes we will be halfway through our first (of 4) terms of school. (Our mission’s school starts in early August). Paul has been busy in the hangar helping keep our 3 Kodiak airplanes and one Bell Long Ranger helicopter running. He also has been able to help a fellow […]

Discipleship …

August 30, 2021

Last week we had our first staff meeting of the new school year! A devotional was shared that focused on discipleship and we were encouraged to continue to invest well into the lives of our students. Why do we do discipleship? Because we want to challenge their thinking, based on the word of God. Because […]

IS IT WORTH IT? RISKING EVERYTHING FOR GOD IS WORTH IT!

August 18, 2021

Have you ever risked your life for something? Yes, you have! Just getting out of bed in the morning is a risk! We never know what our day will bring forth. I think of the resent collapse of the condo building in South Florida – those people didn’t go to bed thinking, “Tonight, I’m going […]

Busy Days …

July 28, 2021

The days are becoming busy as the first of August is fast approaching. Since most of our staff are back on campus, there is now more traffic in the halls and workers in the offices. Teams are meeting to “catch up” and “fill in” each other as to what has been accomplished this summer and […]

We have arrived!

July 25, 2021

Thank you all for praying for us. We arrived safely a week ago and just this morning we received the certificate for our negative Covid test and permission to finish our 14-day quarantine at home! We had friends pick us up and bring us to our house and buy us some fresh food. It is […]

Crazy Days

July 24, 2021

Crazy Days So much for our plans… We ended up bringing the whole family back! Kiera had been seeing the doctor in PNG about her wrist, and after many appointments over the last 6 months, he recommended an orthopedist. So, kinda last minute, we booked tickets for Stacy and the girls to join Kobe and […]

Deciding on a printer…

July 22, 2021

We would once again appreciate your prayers for the Tigak church. We have received word that our elder and his wife are having problems. We are not clear on all the details. Some local church leaders from another tribe were able to go and meet with them. Our coworkers recently arrived back to Papua New […]

Leaving on a Jet Plane

July 14, 2021

It is hard to believe that our short, rescheduled home assignment time has come to an end. Lord willing, we will fly to the Philippines this week. We have spent the last year wondering when we would be able to return to the Philippines while continuing to carry out our roles with Faith Academy here […]

I Still Choose You!

June 22, 2021

Jared and I always look forward to summer but in recent years our views of summer are so different. You see, we are looking at summer through different lenses. Jared sees his summer as having projects to do around the school and what it takes to get it all accomplished by a certain due date, […]
