Into the Mountains

March 18, 2015

  I just got back the day before yesterday from a trip down south and up into the mountains of Chihuahua. This was my first visit since being here in Mexico to one of our works among one of Mexico’s least reached people groups. (We called these trips “bush trips” in PNG) A group of guys- Matt, Jordan, […]

As we make preparations for our move down to Mexico, we wanted to take some time to express to you our vision and plans for our new work down in Mexico. While our location for ministry has changed, much of who we are and what we are all about has not changed. In the same […]

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 […]

Ups & Downs

July 16, 2013

Ministry is messy. Things are not as black and white as they are in training or in theory.

Sludge & Solar

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, […]
