Tribal Visit: BG

March 17, 2016

By way of review: our family has begun prayerfully considering with which people group we will work in the years to come. In November, we wrote of plans to begin visiting church plant locations in Mexico – the shortage of workers right now makes opening a new work highly unlikely, so we have focused on […]

They May Be Small…

March 14, 2016

Half way through the trip we got the opportunity to share at the believers meeting. At the meeting there were 4 men and 2 women and the kids that came a long with them. It was such a small group compared to the size of the village. There were some ways that you could look […]

Catch the Vision

March 12, 2016

Several times during the school year NTBI hosts a “Catch the Vision” event where young people who are looking into further education come and visit our school to see “what we are all about”. This past weekend was one of those events and our Mobilization Team involved all of us! An International Dinner was planned, […]

A Look at HOPAC (The school our kids attend)

March 10, 2016

We thought we would use this update to focus on the school the kids are going to. HOPAC, or Haven of Peace Academy, has been a huge blessing to our family, allowing Jessica and I to focus full time on our other work.

Our God is Greater

March 9, 2016

Few can apreciate and understand all of what takes place within the church planting process. It’s no ones fault, there’s just no way to truly apreciate it unless you’re out there doing it. With bible teaching, translation, literacy, and other such jobs standing in the forefront, we fail to even realize what our missionaries are […]

She Said, “Yes”!

March 8, 2016

As we look at this new year, we have several exciting events to look forward to as a family—the arrival of our 2nd grandchild, a Bible school graduation, and a wedding! Having our grown children as young adults now does not mean we are any less busy! Over Thanksgiving break Josh proposed to his girlfriend, […]

Wrestling with Kodiaks

Our first Kodiak has been flying like crazy. It was cleared to fly late last year and has been going all over the place as our pilots get training. Recently you may have heard that the 2nd Kodiak arrived in Papua New Guinea. We praise the Lord for His provision of this wonderful aircraft — […]

Our Snowy Blessed Road Trip!

Hmmm… a strange thing has been happening to us as we have been traveling over the last couple months… “We expect a snow storm to start tomorrow”… that is what we typically hear the day before we are scheduled to drive to our next destination! It seems like whenever we start driving the snow starts […]
