The Dog Ate My Homework!

January 27, 2017

Our applications for entry into PNG were approved, but as you may have heard, we’re still waiting for the official stamps to be entered into our passports. The process is taking longer than expected for several reasons. Someone important in the immigration office of PNG died this week, some offices have been moving, and computers […]

Our December 2016 in pictures!

December 31, 2016

As we close out 2016, we wished to share our family’s Christmas with you. It’s been a good month of seeing family, friends, and celebrating the birth of our Lord!

Leaving on a Jet Plane

December 23, 2016

If you’re on our facebook page, you’ll know that a couple days ago we posted that some big news was coming! So, drum roll please!!!!! NTM USA home office has given us the green light to head to the field! That’s excellent news, and a wonderful Christmas surprise. After talking with the USA home office […]

Finances

December 8, 2016

“I’ve never once in my life been unable to sleep because of money in the church. And the reason is, I firmly believe this isn’t my church, this isn’t the elder’s church, this isn’t the deacon’s church. This is Jesus Christ’s church, He’s the lead pastor, so He’s the one who’s gotta worry about it. […]

Farm & Fleet

November 28, 2016

I nearly had an emotional breakdown in Farm & Fleet. Don’t worry, to save face for men everywhere, I held it together. If you’ve been following our journey, you know that we moved from Waukesha, WI to the Elkhart, IN area about 6 months ago. When we lived in Waukesha, I would often run errands […]

Unto All Nations

September 19, 2016

This is the story of how a new voice, a new language, a new people was added to the chorus worshiping our Lord! “The greatest missionary is the Bible in the mother tongue. It needs no furlough and is never considered a foreigner.” William Cameron Townsend YembiYembi tribe has a new testament in their language […]

Money & Accounts

August 21, 2016

One of our church elders joked once, “Oh, here’s the missionary, looking for money!” I know he was joking, but over the last month or so I’m becoming more convinced that’s all people hear when we call and ask to share our ministry with them. There are times when I feel envious of Paul and […]

What if our pastors didn’t have support workers?

May 27, 2016

Imagine that you arrive at your church on Sunday morning. There is your pastor, greeting you at the door. You and the other church members and visitors go and find seats in the sanctuary, and in a little while, it’s time for the service to begin. But where is your pastor? Oh, there he is […]

Contentment

May 5, 2016

It’s been an emotional couple of weeks in our household. If you’ve followed our newsletters, you’ll remember hearing of how the Lord worked to sell our house in only 3 days on the market. The next month was a whirlwind! So many things that need to be orchestrated, completed, moved, and finished. The flood of […]

The Plow

February 14, 2016

Luke 9:62 Jesus said to him, “No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.” Winters have never been good to me. During the winters, my grades have always slumped, I often end up depressed, and simply don’t ‘feel’ like doing anything. However, our God […]
