Our Favorite Children’s Bibles

January 1, 2016

I remember one of our teachers in training saying that America is “the land of options.” How true is that?!? Just go down the cereal aisle in the grocery store to find confirmation. Having lots of options can be a good thing. Or a confusing thing. Or an overwhelming thing. Or a I-just-wasted-2-hours-reading-reviews-on-Amazon-and-I-still-haven’t-decided-thing. Children’s Bibles […]

Merry Christmas from Roach, MO! We spent our first Christmas here at the MTC … just the 4 of us enjoying being together and enjoying the day. It was lazy. It was full of laughter and good food. It was memory filled. We even took some time outside to take a few pictures. It was that […]

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). We wanted to give you a glimpse of one way that played out with our own immediate family and the broader family of our sending church body, impacting the […]

conflicting christmas

December 30, 2015

It seems that my life has been and will continue to be marked by constantly conflicting emotions. I knew that having holidays overseas would be hard; and I knew that the first one would be the hardest. I also knew that they would be some of the most beautiful if I let them. I dove […]

Surprise Visit from Unexpected Guests

December 30, 2015

We’d like to tell you about an exciting thing that happened this month – almost on the level of a miracle! Abel, a 30 year old Yuquí from the tribe we worked with in Bolivia came to visit us last week!!! If you had lived and worked with these people for 20 years and knew […]

No Christmas.

December 26, 2015

The picture stood in stark contrast to the other Christmas photos that flooded my Facebook news feed: pictures of carefully color-coordinated kids with a jolly Santa, of brightly lit and beautifully decorated Christmas trees, of serene snow-covered landscapes, of smiling children holding up their favorite presents, of colorful arrays of Christmas cookies and yummy treats. It […]
