Family Visit to Mexico City

March 26, 2017

At the end of February our family made a trip down to Mexico City to check out the ministry at our mission Bible Institute down there. This was my second trip to the institute (third to Mexico City), but the first time that Beth and the kids could visit. It was a great trip and it […]

To Mexico City?

June 3, 2016

As you know Beth and I are looking to our future down here in Mexico and are trying to determine where the Lord would have us serve Him long term. During this time we have considered many of the different areas of ministry that the Lord has opened up to us as potential avenues of […]

Exploring Missionary Burnout, Pt. 1

May 15, 2016

According to the Webster’s dictionary, burnout is “exhaustion of physical or emotional strength or motivation usually as a result of prolonged stress or frustration”. Burnout among missionaries is real and it is also one reason for why some missionaries leave the field. Sometimes burnout itself is actually the main reason behind why someone leaves the […]

Nuestra Primera Conferencia en México! (Our 1st Conference in Mexico!)

June 28, 2015

At the end of last month we were privileged to attend our very first field Conference here in Mexico. We were very thankful that our first year as a part of this field was also the year of conference (since it is only biennial). This conference time was a perfect chance for us to get […]

Sticking It Out in His Strength

May 16, 2015

There are many things I don’t understand about how the Lord works in my life and the things He allows. Among those many things, I do not understand why the Lord has seen fit to have me (us) go through this process of language and culture adjustment… AGAIN. Well, here we are, though- starting again […]

The Upside of Change

December 27, 2014

We have now been in Mexico for just over a month. In some ways it feels like it has flown by and in others it feels like it has been a lifetime. This past month has been filled with the new adventures and challenges common to transitioning into life in another country. It has also […]

Our Daunting Privilege

September 26, 2014

“Oh but Beth! Isn’t all this just daunting?!” I smiled as I heard a sweet friend’s genuine sentiment in response to discussing our family’s future in ministry and all that it has involved and will continue to involve. No one had expressed it in quite that way before and I appreciated the way she, a […]

Tricked Ya!

February 15, 2014

Our co worker Aimee LOVES surprises. She just loves them. Because I love her, it has been a dream of mine for quite some time to give her what she would love, a mega surprise! God is so sweet to me. He gives me things I do not deserve and really brings things together in […]

Regional Conference 2013

June 22, 2013

“I guess I’ll eat this…” I said holding out a candy bar, a container of cole slaw and some cheeto-like chips. Beth laughed of course, but we both knew it was time to head back to our island so we needed to “go big or go home” in terms of eating all the junk food […]

Great(er) Expectations

April 24, 2012

Beth and I enjoyed some small talk with our premarital counselors Todd & Ruth Ann. We were still a couple of months away from our wedding, and each session of premarital counseling brought us closer and closer to the big day. We had asked them to do our counseling since we had observed their marriage […]
