Speaking to the Heart

January 30, 2017

I stood in a church service in El Paso, Texas and sang along to a praise song projected up on the screen. The words I was reading were words my heart best understands, they were the words that are the most powerful to who I am as a person, they are able to stir up […]

Aventura en la Ciudad de México

April 2, 2016

This past week I had the opportunity to take a trip down to Mexico City with a group from our mission, including some of the older students from Binimea (Jude’s MK school down here)! The coordinator for our Spanish language and Mexican culture program, Kathleen, also teaches Mexican history for the high schoolers at Binimea and organized this […]

A New Teammate

December 11, 2010

Our God is a Missionary God

April 28, 2010

About two months after we applied for the grant we were approved and Jude’s spankin’ new cloth diapers arrived today! This is seriously a huge […]

In the Meantime

November 16, 2009

So far it has been about two months since we first heard about Cambodia becoming a closed door for our family. The Lord has taught us a great deal over this time and we are excited to have officially applied to a new field. Right now we are working on some paperwork and Beth has been working hard at updating our prayer card, brochure, portfolio and business card. Hopefully you will see them soon when we are given the green light to resume full time support raising! In the meantime, however, during this transition we have been heavily involved in our sending church. We believe that whenever we are home, one of our main jobs is serving our home...
