Dear Faithful Friends, Seasons greetings from a tropical land!  We hope your month is filled with sweet memories and most of all a heart of reflection on all that God has done through Immanuel- God with us.  As we’ve been working through advent with our girls we’ve appreciated the personal challenge as we seek to […]

Our update is a little late this month.  We’ve had a long month of sickness and we’re just pulling out of it- kinda.   Abby was the first to catch the bug, then 7 days later Dina caught it, then Tim, and finally me.  As I write my entire body is peppered in red, prickly bumps.  […]

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 […]

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 […]
