Ruth started a special new art class at school and had her first day of French class yesterday... and loved both. Clara looks eagerly for her friends every morning and, despite still not eating lunch or snacks, really enjoys being at school. Your (and our!) prayers are being answered. We just wanted to say thanks. … Continue reading Thank You

Life Update & Prayer Requests
Pollen counts here in Québec are finally on the decline, after being about 1.5x higher than usual for several weeks. We've felt that through congestion, sneezing, sore throats, and lots of sinus pressure, so we're very thankful for the reprieve this week! Other than that, here's a quick life update on our family and a … Continue reading Life Update & Prayer Requests
And so it Begins.
Happy Labor Day yesterday! All of our long weekend plans were thrown out the window when the ragweed and pollen count here in Quebec exploded, along with some of our allergies. So we spent the weekend doing puzzles, wearing pajamas, watching movies, watching church online, battling pollen pollen, and reconnecting as a family. While it … Continue reading And so it Begins.
School Started!
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
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
“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…

Thanks to everyone who reached out for Clara’s birthday on Sunday! After church, we spent the afternoon at the beach and ended the evening with chocolate raspberry cupcakes. It was such a fun day! As we’ve reflected on where we are now and our plans for the future, here’s how you can be praying for … Continue reading Wisdom
Prayer Points: 12 July 2022
Allen and I have each started going on early morning walks. I leave around 5:45am and he leaves as soon as I get home. It’s been such a nice way to start our days and a good way to get some personal time. Our routes change every day. Yesterday, I walked down to the river… … Continue reading Prayer Points: 12 July 2022
