All in a Day

July 22, 2010

Being the wordy one that I am, I am dying to tell you how we got our visas! 🙂 The way God worked it all out was just so marvelous- it MUST be shared. For those of who did not know, we sent the applications for our visas in about two weeks after our missionary […]

Selling & Sharing

July 12, 2010

With our departure right around the corner we have been continually encouraged by the way God has been our Provider! The mission team of our sending church recently came up with a way to generate some funds to contribute towards our start up costs. They decided to have a church “garage” sale! The garage sale […]

The Co$t of Mi$$ion$

July 11, 2010

So, in order to do this job of taking the precious message of the gospel to those who have never heard, we have to raise support. Unfortunately most majority world countries don’t have super applicable job positions for us expatriates, not to mention the fact that if we were to work another job (aside from […]

All the Answers

July 10, 2010

God has repeatedly blessed us with the opportunity to spend time with people who are serving in the same region in Papua New Guinea as we are going! It is amazing how the timing of everything has lined up just how it should to enable these visits (wonderful how God works, eh?). Several weeks ago […]

??? Days to Departure

Whether you like it or not-here is the “blow by blow” of it all. 🙂 Enjoy! In the middle of the week, wedding people began arriving at our house […]

Our Mr. Jude

June 30, 2010

Often we get asked about how Jude is doing, so I thought I would take this opportunity to be a gushing mother and tell you! Sometimes its crazy to think about how Jude is almost 15 months old now. We can’t believe how big he is getting and all the ways that he is beginning to act […]

Afraid to Go?

June 10, 2010

Many people have asked us if we are scared to move overseas. I suppose there are a lot of ways we could answer this question. Sure, there are times we get a bit queasy at the thought of all we will face, extreme heat, threat of disease, discouragement and so on. Inevitably though, when we […]

Say Ahhhh!

June 9, 2010

There are many things that go into moving to a remote location that you may never think about. I have one word for you: TEETH! Yes, for the last several months or so, Tom and I have been traveling over an hour (one way) to go the the dental school to get much needed work […]
