Day by day…

October 6, 2012

It’s crazy how life can get rolling so fast, or be in such a routine that the weeks and months pass so quickly without hardly noticing them. I’ve found that to be true here. Can’t believe it’s really into October already. For us here in the village our months are not marked by the feel […]

Winds are Blowing

September 16, 2012

I guess Fall is in the air for some of you in America land. One afternoon last week I had a brief moment of smelling an American fall- it had just rained not long before that so it was cooler (low 80’s) and the smell of burning leaves wafted in the air. It made me […]

The Ups and Downs of Life

August 8, 2012

Greetings Friends, We write this letter full of sadness for several of our friends here and their situations. One person is a lady who works for us each day helping with washing our laundry in the river, washing dishes and doing floors. She has had a rough life filled with having 3 children out […]

Good to Be Back Home

July 1, 2012

Dear Friends, Hope you’re enjoying your summer. It has felt like a hot humid Florida summer here. Except it’s been very dry. We’ve been able to get our exercise by hand pumping our water since we don’t have any rain water to use in this dry season. Thankfully the well has not gone dry yet […]

We Made It…

June 6, 2012

Touring the Coast Guard in Kodiak Just wanted to send out a brief update from our other home country to let you know we have made it safely to our destination. We’re still not home yet but will be in the coastal town for a few days of supply buying, repacking, canning, […]

Ullums Update

April 16, 2012

Hello from Jacksonville Florida! We have about a month and a week left here before we start our journey back to our home on the other side of the world! As we all say, “time flies” and our 6 month home assignment has gone fast. It’s been filled with blessed family and friend get-togethers, many […]

2012 and beyond

February 2, 2012

It’s hard to believe that 1/3 of our home assignment has come and gone. We are trying to submerge ourselves into relationships here and soak up as much christian fellowship as we can. We are really thankful for the community of believers here in Jacksonville that have loved us and welcomed us with open arms. […]

Literacy Efforts

September 1, 2011

Dear friends, We are into count down mode as we look at the next three months of ministry here in the tribe. At the beginning of December we will head to the States to begin a 6 month home assignment/furlough time. We look forward to connecting with many of you and are still in the […]

June Update

June 12, 2011

You never know what a day might bring. Do you believe that? Of course you do, you have all had those days when, you know the neighborhood kids are calling for you at 5 in the morning asking if you are awake yet or not, or you get asked to come and help someone who […]

May Update

June 10, 2011

Turn another page on your calendar! 2011 is already pushing us way beyond what, in the flesh we could imagine. Beyond our abilities, beyond our wisdom, beyond even our own will/aspiration into the life of faith. Praise the Lord that hope remains. That it’s not the seen things that we put confidence in but by […]
