Transitions

June 4, 2015

Transitions are hard. Harder for some than for others. As we transitioned from the Missionary Training Center in Missouri back to Michigan for the summer, we noticed a difference in how our kids handled the move. Titus revels in change (when he was a baby, his favorite word was “Go!”). Ivan, however, had a miniature […]

Over the Border and Around the World

May 1, 2015

Training in Tijuana Last week we once again had the privilege of teaching at Radius International in Tijuana. There are 11 students there this year, all being trained to go to the hard places of the world, and take the name of Christ to Unreached People Groups.

Give Us the Tools!

April 14, 2015

“Give us the Tools… …and We Will Finish the Job!” Sir Winston Churchill spoke those inspiring words in 1941 when England was under severe attack and needed help to survive.

Let us shine the light of the gospel to the ends of the earth

January 20, 2012

God loves all the people of the world and desires all people to be saved. But about 2,000 of the world’s 6,500 people groups have never heard the gospel. Our Lord commands us to go and make disciples of all nations. Just presenting the gospel and planting a church is not enough to accomplish the […]

Training and Fellowship

January 20, 2012

Have you ever wondered if God could use you to impact the world? Have you ever asked the question: “How can I be a part of God’s grand plan of reaching all nations, tribes, and tongues with the light of the gospel of Jesus Christ?” Many people, like myself, often think that they are too […]

Beginning again

January 20, 2012
