Sometimes working with kids can be hard. They are squirmy, loud, messy and have incredibly short attention spans. We try to teach them life lessons and all they want to talk about is pizza and the latest cartoon. It can be a challenging, up-hill battle, but it is one worth fighting. You see, this year… Continue reading Future Presidents of the World
For the past month Way of the Cross has been hosting a Missionary Training School at our base camp in Nicaragua. We have had about 45 students who have been going through intense classes and hands-on learning. Phillip and I were excited to do a two-part class talking about marriage and family in missions and… Continue reading Waiting on the Lord
I first titled this post "Nicaraguan Adventures." We certainly have been on many adventures since coming here, but to be honest it is everyday life that has touched my heart the most. For the first month of our time in Nicaragua we were busy with groups, work and a lot of evangelism. We had a large… Continue reading Nicaraguan Life
Ministry comes in all shapes and sizes. We aren't always out on the "front lines" preaching the gospel or aiding the poor. Lately I have been thinking about these "slower" times (that really aren't that slow) the Lord gives us, and wanted to give you a look into the ministry that happens in our family during these times.… Continue reading A Different Type of Ministry
Yep. It has been a while since I have put out an update here and a lot has happened in that while. It is hard to put into words how God has blessed us, but the thing that stands out the most in our lives is our children, and we recently added another one to the bunch!… Continue reading It’s Been A While
It is a new year and with it comes new adventures! A lot has happened since my last post. Our family went on a month-long vacation where we had the opportunity to relax, have fun, visit churches, friends and family. We found out we are expecting our fourth child. Our family took part in the… Continue reading A New Year
If you follow us on Facebook, you already know that we are trying to build our ministry team. We want to get 100 people who will be committed to praying for us and giving $10.00 a month. You may be wondering why we chose these numbers. When Phillip first suggested it, I said "you know that would… Continue reading Building a Team
To be honest, I'm not sure how to start this post. Words seem to escape me as I try to portray what our time here in Nicaragua has been. To start, I should apologize for not posting more often. I had every intention of keeping everyone updated often, but things got busy and many times… Continue reading Nicaragua Adventure Summer 2013
In case you haven't heard, we are in Nicaragua. I know, I haven't been good about posting, but recently I've had a good excuse: we haven't had internet. To be honest, not having internet has been quite enjoyable. Now not having AC has been a bit more of a challenge, but who said being a… Continue reading Nicaragua for Jesus (from the eyes of a missionary family of 5)
Well it has been much too long since my last post! God is richly blessing our family and we are so excited about what He has for us in the next few months. But before I talk about what is to come, let me give you an update on what's been going on. In late… Continue reading What’s Going On and What’s Coming Up
