Exploring Missionary Burnout, Pt. 1

Above & Beyond

September 9, 2014

I want to begin this blog by saying thank you to everyone who has prayed for my trip out to pack up our house and say goodbye to the Tigak church. My trip out there went very well, far better than I could have hoped or imagined. Our prayers were answered, though the trip was […]

Jude & A Tapestry

June 17, 2014

“I don’t live here, I live in PAPUA NEW GUINEA!” is the fact that Jude has been energetically interested in telling countless people ever since our return to the States for Iris’ surgery. It doesn’t matter who they are, if we know them or even if they care, Jude cares and wants everyone to know […]

What do all the things in this picture have in common you might ask? Well. They are three of Iris’ favorite things about her eye checkups she has been having for the last 4 months! The fly is usually the image she looks at on a tablet device through 3D glasses as the doctor tells […]

Jeff the Boar

January 15, 2014

It was just over a year ago, last October, that we acquired our baby Wild Boar. I had gotten a fence made in the meantime, as one of the requirements in our village to look after pigs is to have a fence. (Even so, I am pretty sure that we are the only ones who […]

2013 N.I.P. Believers Conference

December 15, 2013

Sitting where I am right now, freezing cold in Michigan with snow falling outside, it is very strange to think about where we were less than a month ago. We were in Papua New Guinea sweating our faces off crammed in to a van along with some of our Tigak brothers and sisters on a […]

A Difficult Trek

A Difficult Trek

October 1, 2013

This is hard. Easily one of the most difficult things I have done in my life. We believe strongly we MUST do it, we are passionate TO do it and we WILL NOT give up, BUT, learning the Tigak language and culture is still very very hard. We were told early on in our language […]

An Underwater Adventure

August 9, 2013

Language & culture study can be a drag sometimes.  The daily routine isn’t always exciting and new like it was in the early days when we first began.  Its a lot of hard work and takes lots of prayer, dependance on the Lord and personal discipline. On the flip side, the culture aspect of study […]

Sludge & Solar

May 17, 2013

It just couldn’t wait. For about five months our drains were not draining properly, our washer would spin out and water would come pouring off our porch like a waterfall leaving drenched wood and a lake of bubbles under the house, any time any amount of water over half a gallon would try to drain, […]
