You’ve fed thousands of people

November 17, 2015

The plea was urgent, and I’m so glad you helped. Papua New Guinea, an island nation north of Australia, is in the midst of a long drought. People are hungry, and NTM missionaries there want to help. They contacted our team, and sent us some specifics. Some of the aid could go in by road. […]

Great Expectations

November 14, 2015

Bedtime. I lay down next to Judah to cuddle. “Mama,” he said,”kann ich dir ein Lied singen?” Can I sing you a song? His sweet little voice reached my ear: “Maaaaaama, ich liiiiiiebe dich so sehr; Maaaaaaaama, du bist eine schoene Prinzessin; Maaaaaaaama, du bist die Beste…” Mama, I love you. Mama, you’re a beautiful […]

Impacting Lives

November 14, 2015

With our minds on the Thanksgiving season, one thing we are so thankful for is the privilege to be a part of what God is doing to build His church. Do you feel privileged sharing in God’s work of reaching the unreached with the Gospel? YOU are impacting lives as we partner together. While we […]

Brazil Bound: Update

November 13, 2015

So, in the last month, we've renewed passports, applied for visas and purchased international airfare. Amazing provision to be able to do that so soon!

The View From There – Guinea

November 12, 2015

Here are just a few more pictures from our Guinea trip. This concluded our voyage around the West Africa this fall. 3 countries in 2 months, is enough to make anyone tired! Each place was so surprisingly different and that was fun to see and experience. It will, however, be nice to stay in Senegal for […]

People were praying…

November 9, 2015

…So I wasn’t very surprised when 9 ladies came filing in to the meeting house, but just breathed a ´thank you, Lord´. As I looked at the familiar faces, I wondered where each one was in their understanding of the gospel. An added blessing, was that Susana had just arrived the day before from a […]

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 […]

ONE YEAR AGO TODAY…

November 8, 2015

Today marks the one year anniversary of when Brian started his helicopter training in Arizona. We left the Philippines for a short, 4-month home assignment in March of 2014, and it has felt a lot like the 3-hour tour that Gilligan and friends left on! It has not been what we expected, but it has been […]

Poison Man to Pastor

November 8, 2015

In some parts of the world they are referred to as sorcerers or witch doctors, here they are known as poison men. Men who can, through the use of incantations and potions, cast spells to either help, harm, or even kill other people. Kiung was one of them. He used to be sought out my […]

You Have a New Follower

November 6, 2015

Flight follower, that is. I don’t keep up with Twitter and Pinterest like many of you out there, but I am familiar with the term “follow.” Getting followers is nice, right? It’s nice to feel that people value our opinions and are interested in what we’re doing. Having a flight follower isn’t exactly a popularity […]
