Light the Dark Places

March 6, 2019

We had a basic florescent light over our office desk. It had been buzzing, flickering, and generally irritating for some time, and it was getting worse. Finally, that project worked its way up the priority list, and off we went to the hardware store to pick out a new light. Having new light is incredible. […]

Fruit Loops

January 10, 2019

This morning I stood in front of my pantry taking a mental inventory of the contents. I noticed black beans, pecans, canned tomatoes, gluten free pasta, dairy free chocolate chips…… Over all, the pantry holds healthy food. Then I noticed the bright multi-colored cereal, Fruit Loops. I had to smile when saw the box. One […]

I Don’t Always Feel Like It

November 30, 2018

This Thanksgiving I contemplated the difference between thanksgiving and gratitude. Gratitude is a feeling, whereas to thank is an action. The Scriptures tell us to give thanks in all things (I Thes. 5:16), but I don’t believe I am told to be grateful for all things. I can express my gratitude by thanking, but I […]

It Wasn’t my Plan

November 19, 2018

Have you ever had a day where things just didn’t go like you planned? Maybe that day is today. For me, it was on a Monday. Maybe I should lower my expectations for Monday, but I had my plans listed in my calendar with check boxes beside them, waiting to be completed. Danielle […]

Go for Launch…

November 9, 2018

One of Tom’s favorite movies is Apollo 13. The movie draws him in because it is a true, epic space story. It is a story of dedicated men persevering to do the right thing. It is a story of hope and trust. At the climax of the movie, when the workers at mission control didn’t […]

Lean Into the Risk

February 23, 2018

A few weeks ago in church, our Pastor gave us a great skiing example. I have been skiing just a couple of times, but that was over 25 years ago. I wiped out so badly that I never got on skis again. Anyway, our faith journey is like downhill skiing. The mountain is at your back and the scary downward […]

Pre Field Orientation Wraps Up

July 6, 2011

Last night PFO wrapped up with a wonderful evening as the seventeen associate missionaries enjoyed a traditional (mostly traditional) Papua New Guinea mumu and a great evening of fellowship. At one point during the evening the associate missionaries shared how God brought them to the point of being willing to serve. We wish you could […]

God, through his people, provides another translation tool

November 22, 2010

Excerpts from Siawi-snippets on behalf of Linda Krieg: As the last few days slowly trickled away, it seemed that the Lord’s answer was “No,” to the idea of having a mini-computer brought over to PNG from the States. Knowing that people were praying, I was content with that answer. Then, just in the nick of […]

Pre Field Orientation

July 20, 2010

Thanks for Praying! Another Pre-Field Orientation has been completed. Please continue to pray for the new missionaries as they work at raising support and develop their ministry partner teams. Several of the missionaries gave testimony that the orientation was enjoyable and vital. Dan thanked God for the ministries of the veteran missionaries, who were there […]
