First, let me say it has been almost nine years since we last spent significant time in […]

It’s been over two and a half years since our last blog post. How did this happen??? I can think of a few reasons. COVID was long and hard for everyone. Life got busier; our children had important needs that demanded our focus, and I think some writing fatigue set in while I was working […]

This month Katie Moore, our fearless and brilliant field literacy consultant is “holed up” in a mission apartment along with four other members of an important team who are working very hard to produce much needed literacy materials for the Guarijio church planting team. This special group is made up of the missionaries who work […]

This past Thursday night was week five of foundational bible teaching among the Triqui people here in Mexico. Eduardo, who is teaching in the Triqui language, shared that he taught on the six days of creation. Eduardo believes that people are tracking with the teaching and are interested in what God’s Word has to say […]

It was great to have the opportunity to represent the needs of Mexico up at our organization’s Missionary Training Center. We always love an excuse to share about the field of Mexico! We drove up from Chihuahua, Mexico to the campus in Missouri with Gaby and Adriana, a couple who are great friends and coworkers […]
