A primary destination for our journey to Malawi has been the northern town of Mzuzu. While filling the vehicle this morning and topping fluids, Dieter mentioned to our attendant (his name is Blessing) the long trip ahead. Blessing shared that he comes from Malawi – specifically Mzuzu. After inquiring of our intentions for travel and […]
Our days in Cape Town have been quite filled with preparations for the journey to Malawi. Dieter and I have had opportunity for a few insightful conversations with one another and with a few others who are interested in the mission of freeWord (all of whom have previously engaged in community Bible life alongside the […]
We are currently in a slow descent about a half hour out of Cape Town. I will be arriving to a clear night of about 60°. As I’ve mentioned in a previous post, we desire prayers for the journey that lies ahead. Though I have somewhat troubled myself over the longing to see these travels […]
The journey has begun. Family saw me off at the Indy airport. I currently sit in Amsterdam awaiting the final leg that will take me to South Africa. I carry a small backpack.

This is a beautiful short! What have you found to be important?
Even though we have much to keep us busy in prep for the summer, we also had opportunity enjoy this weekend.

We had our final evening of Lenten worship at Bethel tonight. From where I was standing it seemed like a wonderful time for reflection and prayer. I led the congregation through a few guided prayers while offering songs of worship and devotion. I also shared briefly a few thoughts that had come upon me this […]
Today, we want to ask that you would join us in concerted prayer for our way forward in kingdom service. We are coming up on three years of service with WMPL in the home office.

Every so often I find my way across the hall and into the archive room of the World Mission Prayer League. The four cinder block walls contain a treasure trove of historical significance. Shelves are laden and boxes are filled with documents, photos, books, reports, obsolete technology and other intriguing items. Adam and I spent an […]
Our little girl turned three this weekend. If you’ve not yet had a child of your own grow to the age of three, let me tell you that three years pass like the blink of an eye (and a thousand years are as a day). I can’t help but thinking that taking a similar journey four more […]

A number of our missionaries were able to join us and give brief reports on the work […]
