Barely Made It Out

July 19, 2021

We made it! Back on home soil. Barely… It was a dramatic ordeal to get out of the country. But first, to catch you up: As we mentioned in our last email, the process of leaving was quite complex and there were lots of cultural expectations. Thankfully we were able to fulfill most […]

Prepping for Home

May 20, 2021

The Basics! – We are thankful for improvement in Allegra’s health and praise God for the strength He’s given her. Although she still struggles some with the same symptoms, it’s not like it was a few months ago and for that we are so grateful. Baby is doing well also and we are enjoying feeling the […]

“So I pray that God, who gives you hope, will keep you happy and full of peace as you believe in Him. May you overflow with hope through the power of the Holy Spirit.” – Romans 15:13 Why is it that some moments I am happy and full of peace and other moments so […]

What’s Gonna Happen?

October 6, 2020

What’s gonna happen??? No, we aren’t referring to anything in the news these days… (Although we aren’t too sure about any of that either, except that we know the One who already knew the End at the very Beginning!

It’s amazing how 7 weeks can feel like a lifetime and just a few days both at the same time. A lot has happened in our new world here and we have seen how God has been gracious in it all. We are so thankful for your prayers. “We couldn’t be here without you” […]

We Made It!

March 24, 2020

Is it possible for a two day trip to go by fast? We didn’t think so but our long awaited trip went smoothly. We may not have slept well, but otherwise it went much better than expected. Our flights were half empty, there were no lines in the airports, and we had a good time […]

Just the Beginning

Wow. Time absolutely flies! Although it’s hard to believe, our departure is truly just around the corner. In many ways it feels like we have reached our goal of actually going to the mission field where the Good News is so desperately needed. But in even more ways, we are reminded that this is just the beginning. We have come […]
