Coming and going

Coming and going

November 2, 2018

Psalm 121:8 The Lord shall preserve your going out and your coming in from this time forth, and even forevermore. Road Trip: God has been so gracious to us! We had a wonderful road trip last month. We traveled to Alabama, Florida, South and North Carolina, (the pictures in this email were taken in North […]

They that work, as not working

They that work, as not working

September 17, 2016

There is little more satisfying than a job well done. Finishing a day of hard work makes me feel like I’ve earned an evening of rest. Conversely, there’s not much worse than an impending deadline to take the joy out of relaxing. The knowledge of homework due on Monday has plagued many a weekend during my school […]

Exploring Missionary Burnout, Pt. 2

Exploring Missionary Burnout, Pt. 2

May 16, 2016

Burnout among missionaries is real and it is one reason for why some missionaries leave the field. Sometimes burnout itself is actually the main reason behind why someone leaves the field even when other reasons are given for their departure. According to Webster’s dictionary, burnout is “exhaustion of physical or emotional strength or motivation usually as […]

Into the Mountains

Into the Mountains

March 18, 2015

  I just got back the day before yesterday from a trip down south and up into the mountains of Chihuahua. This was my first visit since being here in Mexico to one of our works among one of Mexico’s least reached people groups. (We called these trips “bush trips” in PNG) A group of guys- Matt, Jordan, […]

A Difficult Trek

A Difficult Trek

October 1, 2013

This is hard. Easily one of the most difficult things I have done in my life. We believe strongly we MUST do it, we are passionate TO do it and we WILL NOT give up, BUT, learning the Tigak language and culture is still very very hard. We were told early on in our language […]

An Underwater Adventure

August 9, 2013

Language & culture study can be a drag sometimes.  The daily routine isn’t always exciting and new like it was in the early days when we first began.  Its a lot of hard work and takes lots of prayer, dependance on the Lord and personal discipline. On the flip side, the culture aspect of study […]

Ups & Downs

Ups & Downs

July 16, 2013

This is why we desperately go before the Lord in dependent prayer, entrusting this work and […]

Sludge & Solar

Sludge & Solar

May 17, 2013

It just couldn’t wait. For about five months our drains were not draining properly, our washer would spin out and water would come pouring off our porch like a waterfall leaving drenched wood and a lake of bubbles under the house, any time any amount of water over half a gallon would try to drain, […]

The Need to Read

The Need to Read

February 19, 2013

I do not remember the last time my hands got sore from writing. Since computers rule the world and my hands are used to typing I gave them a real good work out last week by writing more by hand than I can remember in a long time. It was for a very good reason […]
