Ask For His Heart
Tonight, we met at the offices of the Prayer League with staff, retired missionaries, students, and friends to ask for the work of the LORD in this world. We heard word and encouragement from the writings of Paul Lindell, a forebear of the mission. Even now, his words echo from days gone, urging us to march […]
3 Stitches
Aelah had a run in with her bed frame today as rest time began. She’s in great spirits and did very well throughout the procedure. She cried briefly when she was hurt and then cried no more except as we had to leave the hospital. And, with all the crazy cold we’ve had, I think […]

Gold, Frankincense, Myrrh
During morning prayer and devotions, we sang We Three Kings. It’s been quite some time, I think, since I have heard this song, let alone sung it, let alone sung it in its entirety. Do you know the song? The final verse reads … Glorious now behold Him arise; King and God and sacrifice; Alleluia, Alleluia, […]
Christmas 2013
The Minnesota Vanderclan took a quick trip to Indiana this past week. Long trip down, long trip back, and much joy had in the meantime! We opted for a somewhat lighter schedule of events than we have had in past years and are healthier for it. So thankful for the many folks we were able […]
Cousins, Here I Come
We are set to leave for Indiana in just a couple hours. Excited to be with family for the holidays. Don’t know that I ever posted this video of Aelah from a couple months back … checking up on the cousins. Look forward to seeing you all soon!

We began today and are trying the intense 3 day boot camp approach. First, however, we needed a potty seat. Adrienne purchased […]

An Invitation…For Us, For You
In June of 2012 our family joined the greater World Mission Prayer League family when the Directorate invited us to become Missionary Candidates. Yesterday, we had the privilege of appearing before the WMPL Home Council and were officially invited to join them, no longer as “candidates,” but as full time Missionaries, currently assigned to the […]

Waiting on Baby
It seems like it has come up on us pretty quick (although, Adrienne may say different). Pip II is almost here. This past week or so kind of has us twiddling our thumbs … just waiting. Adrienne has done a good deal of nesting. Full cupboards of food and clean floors. This baby is sure […]
