Here’s the low down on our outreach fees: Payment schedule: A $500 non-refundable deposit was due on 1/30/15 for each of us for a deposit on our outreach plane tickets. We were able to meet this deadline! Thank you, Jesus!! Due Friday 2/6/15 is $8000 ($2000 for each of us). We do NOT have all […]

Lava Tubes

This picture is of William visiting a lava tube on his school field trip. Lava tubes are long conduits that carry molten rock away from an eruption. They often exist far beneath the surface. There is a current in the world, running beneath the surface, where the Gospel is being taken to places you wouldn’t […]

A walk on the weekend

Outreach

It’s official. It has been announced to the entire team (28 adults and 12 children) that we will be going to Israel AND India for outreach in April and May. One month in each country. Our family is excited about what we are embarking on! We’d like to thank everyone who has prayed, crafted, encouraged and […]

The Fields Need Workers

I just left a parent-teachers conference with Will & Katie’s teachers and the other parents. Our children are settling in and they are in for a wonderful quarter! Again, the international flavor of this campus and its deep spiritual roots provide fertile soil in which to plant their young minds and hearts. We met the […]

God loves Will, God loves your family

The sign hangs above Will’s bed in the loft he shares with Katie, just above our bed in the humble studio that we are blessed to call home for now. Meanwhile, peals of laughter bury themselves in the aging buildings surrounding the ark-park. An international game of tag is taking place. The quiet is disturbed. […]

Friction Burns

Resistance comes in many forms.

Even though we persevere and even improve through adversity, resistance can be painful. Friction […]

Down to the wire

We are in the last moments of so many things and on the cusp of some very new things. It is a heady time for sure! We leave in just 9 days!! Here are a few things that we need your prayers for: Finances: We are still $14,000 short of our big financing goal. Yes, we […]

19 Days & Counting (like 19 Kids & Counting, but not so much…)

With only 19 days and counting until lift off, we are… GRATEFUL for support from friends & family that brings our funding thermometer up to $16,029. We are MORE than 1/2 way to being fully funded. WOW! It’s incredible that was once a quiet conversation between us & God, is becoming reality! Only the One True […]

Busy hearts club

Once when our daughter was a toddler…probably 3 years old…I found her wide awake in her bed, staring at the ceiling way past her normal bedtime. When I gently asked her why she was still awake, she replied “Mommy, I can’t sleep. My heart is too busy.” Tonight, that’s my excuse. My heart is way […]
