The Road Through Lamogai

October 2, 2010

A few weeks after arriving in Papua New Guinea, I was asked by one of our regional field leaders, Jan Wols (first name pronounced “yon”) to accompany him trip into a remote village (South Lamogai). He and his family along with another family had been a part of reaching and helping establish a church in […]

Say Ahhhh!

June 9, 2010

There are many things that go into moving to a remote location that you may never think about. I have one word for you: TEETH! Yes, for the last several months or so, Tom and I have been traveling over an hour (one way) to go the the dental school to get much needed work […]

Our God is a Missionary God

April 28, 2010

I remember when Beth & I were in Bible school, I became frustrated at how much Missions was “pushed” on us. It seemed like every chapel we were challenged in, every class we sat in, every conversation we found ourselves in centered on the topic of worldwide missions. It was frustrating for me to say […]

An 8-Point Mission Doctrinal Statement

April 28, 2010

Do you enjoy reading church doctrinal statements? Personally, I enjoy going into a new church, locating the doctrinal statement and examining it for its uniqueness. I enjoy how every church or denomination chooses its words very intentionally as it coins its statement of faith; the rocks, if you will, that the church will die on. […]

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 […]

This is Aimee

April 16, 2010

Yesterday I had an amazing time with a dear friend. Unfortunately Tom could not make it because he had been feeling a bit sick but that did not stop little Jude and I from hopping in the car and driving to see a very special person for the day! It is our privilege to introduce […]

Stuffless.

April 6, 2010

Well, it is done. Last Wednesday we were able to have our stuff safely loaded onto a semi truck, on its way to the ship that will take it to Papua New Guinea. Praise the Lord! As we watched our 16 totes and boxes be wrapped to a pallet and then fork lifted up the […]

Some Trip Reflections

February 10, 2010

You know how you go through life making plans and always thinking to yourself that they will work out just how you thought? And then they don’t… at all? 🙂 Well, that is what we think of our trip. Now don’t get us wrong, this was not a bad thing-it was just a surprise. The […]

All Work & No Play?

January 14, 2010

Two weeks into our road trip and everything is going great! This last week has looked a little different for us… in a very good way. 🙂 Since Tom and I were going to be here in Florida for a bit, my parents decided to take the opportunity for our family to go on a […]

Going South…Pacific

November 26, 2009

Great news! We have been given the green light to go ahead and resume our support raising endeavors for our future work in the South Pacific. We are right in the middle of the paperwork process of transitioning to the new field, and are excited to have an official direction once again. Its been a great couple of months to serve in our home church and to gain a fresh perspective & renewed vision for the work ahead of us. Currently, we are making plans for a partnership development road trip this January. Lord willing this trip will allow us to connect with some new churches and individuals. In the meantime, Beth has done a fantastic job updating our...
