This Little Light of Mine

February 26, 2012

“For we are the aroma of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing…” (2 Cor. 2:15) We have been in Tigak language & culture study now for nearly three months, and it is tempting to feel like we are still waiting for our “real ministry” to begin. […]

Life, Liberty & the Pursuit of Holiness

September 12, 2011

A few years ago I was riding down to Pennsylvania with our soon-to-be youth pastor and some of the youths from our high school ministry for a rafting trip. Most of the drive was spent listening to music that I’d never heard of and talking about sports I’ve never had any interest in playing. Sometime […]

Meeting Dennis McCallum

July 15, 2011

A couple nights ago I was able accomplish one of my “fun” goals while being back in the States for this maternity leave. My brother-in-law Davy, future brother-in-law Nathan (in one week) and I went to go see one of my favorite authors teach at his church in Columbus, Ohio! We aren’t supposed to put […]

Mileage to Missouri

May 11, 2011

About a month ago, we contacted our home church in Adrian, MI with a need to borrow someone’s car for a short trip we were thinking of making down to Missouri, upon our return to America. A few people offered their car’s to us, but one couple in our church really wanted to rent a […]

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 […]

Caps & Gowns for Sisters

May 25, 2010

“Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.” (II Timothy 2:15) I can’t help but gush with pride a bit and say a big CONGRATULATIONS to my sisters upon their recent graduations! My sister Chrissy […]

The Example of Paul

April 28, 2010

In this article we are going to draw out some exemplary principles from the life of the Apostle Paul. Paul was the first Christian missionary whose life example has been preserved for us in the pages of Scripture itself. No other apostle has been given as much exposure as that of Paul. It is as […]

You Can Be a Part!

April 28, 2010

We have the privilege and the opportunity to be involved in what God is doing in the world around us. As we examine the words of our Lord Christ in Matthew 28:19-20 commissioning His disciples to make disciples of the entire world, we are left with the ball of involvement in our court. The next […]

Hittin’ the Road

December 30, 2009

As the holiday season draws to a close and most people’s excitement winds down, our lives are just about to pick up some speed. This Friday, January 1st, we are kicking off the new year by setting sail on our first ever month long partnership development road trip! Before I tell you about our road trip, just a recap of the last month: Beth & I have been incredibly busy ever since Thanksgiving. I just finished up a 10-week Adult Bible Fellowship (Sunday School) class on the book of Judges that has taken up a good amount of time each week, and Beth has been diligently sending out our newsletter, new prayer cards, brochures and ministry portfolios.
