Bringing the Light of Christ to the Darkness of France
Last Sunday Joe and I were blessed with the opportunity to do one of our favorite things: share our passion for the Glory of God and Missions at a local church. God is doing amazing things in and through us right now for His glory and proclamation. God has given us a passion, based on…
Everyone experiences anger. Anger in itself is not wrong; it is not a sin. What we do with our anger and how we process it is the key to healthy hearts and healthy relationships. If processed wrongly, it can be sinful. Gary Chapman offers great incite from the Bible on determining the type of anger and practical steps to handle it in a Godly, mature way.
Our missions calling is not exclusive to me and Joe but it extends to our children. We want to be a family that serves the Lord together. Even the littlest among us have a role to play in the Church and in the Great Commission. Ellie, who is only 4 years old, can’t wait to…
Last week I committed myself to the ministry of prayer in a way I never have before. Don’t get me wrong – I’ve prayed before. A lot. Prayer is vital, essential, and top priority in my life and in our family. However, last week we began sending out support letters to all of our family,…
Giving Tuesday I don’t know about you but I have been bombarded by major non-profit organizations vying for my donations. Red Cross. YMCA. American Cancer Society. I have even seen a few mission organizations campaigning for these coveted donations (oops, maybe wrong adjective). I have not seen a single missionary yet doing their own #GivingTuesday…

What does daily life and ministry look like for a church planter or missionary in…
Joe: I remember as a child always being drawn towards the “outsiders”, the oldest or the youngest kids in school, or others who for whatever reason didn’t seem to fit in as well with the rest. I would approach them, listen to their stories, and try to encourage them in whatever ways I could.…
We have the honor of being missions feature in our church’s monthly newsletter, Chapel Chat. Here is a copy for those of you who aren’t a member of TCC or don’t get the monthly Chapel Chat. “MISSIONS IN MOTION Last month’s article mentioned two couples affiliated with our church who are preparing for the mission…
PARTNERSHIP MINISTRY Last month we completed our Partnership Ministry training with Kingdom Come Training, and we have fully launched and embraced this foundational ministry opportunity. We love connecting and investing in relationships, especially those built on God’s Gospel of Grace. We have had several wonderful ministry moments, and can’t wait for the ones to come.…
BIG NEWS! We have found a new organization, and we couldn’t be more thrilled! In our last email, we informed you that we were no longer with World Team due to unforeseen events on the field in France. We then put all of our energy in to researching, contacting, interviewing, and praying over other missions…
