When God started calling our family away from Togo and to something else, we made a list of things to pray over. The list included our spiritual gifts, ministry passions, talents, and other things we’d love to see included in our lives. One of those things was the opportunity to send our kids to a … Continue reading School Started!

Our Hope
Our hope is found in Christ alone. When fevers spike in the middle of the night and kids get sick in their beds, our hope is in Christ. When potty training goes off the rails and we have to buy more pull-ups, our hope is in Christ. When we remember all the things we sold … Continue reading Our Hope
Hudson Update
Hudson had a fever for three days. From Monday afternoon through Wednesday night, his low-grade fever hovered around 100*-101*. Wednesday evening, I tried to get him an appointment at the sans rendez-vous clinic (which means "without appointment"; yes, remind me to share me thoughts about needing an appointment for the "without appointment" clinic. I'm sure … Continue reading Hudson Update
Some New Prayer Requests
After taking last week off from updating our website, here are some new prayer requests: Hudson took a nap on the couch yesterday, which isn't a very common occurrence these days, and when he woke up, he had spiked a fever. With a dose of Tylenol, some extra fluids, and a short bath, he seemed … Continue reading Some New Prayer Requests
This Week…

Allen and I decided last week that we would visit Old Québec this week, and we randomly chose Wednesday morning as … Continue reading On Wednesday…
“Are you believers?”
We've shared before about the spiritual climate here in Québec and how closed people are to Truth. About 99% of people in Québec are unsaved and don't believe the work Jesus did on the cross to forgive their sins. The other day, Allen found a Bible at a local thrift store so we decided to … Continue reading “Are you believers?”
When You Pray for Wisdom…
We've been praying for wisdom for about... oh, I'd say a million years. Wisdom for ministry plans. Wisdom for kids. Wisdom for each move. Wisdom for life. You've joined us in those prayers. And God is answering them, though not in a way we necessarily expected. I always expect God to grant wisdom through some … Continue reading When You Pray for Wisdom…

From a low-key Kitty-themed party on Saturday to spending Sunday afternoon at the beach, we loved celebrating our 5 year old! Rainy Walk.
