Piercing the darkness with the light of Christ
February’s France Friday was one to remember! We had a great time with friends, coming together to share a meal, fellowship, and enjoy some fun moments in French culture and tradition. We gathered together to celebrate the mission and gospel that we will be doing in France. In true French fashion, Bethany made some delicious…
Bethany and I started our Alliance Francais classes tonight. I’m taking the Essential class (beginners) because I haven’t had any formal French training since seventh grade! Our class will get into the intermediate material if we have time. I’m excited to get some practice speaking and learn much more vocabulary. Bethany is taking the Intermediate…
Join us daily from April 4 – 24 at 8:30pm/7:30 CST for the Pray for France campaign. Last year we joined with Impact France / Pray for France and prayed daily through their information and prayer points via Zoom. We had a wonderful time in prayer and learning about the needs in France from those in ministry. This month we will be praying through the…
Join us Thursday, October 15, at 8:00pm EST / 7:00pm CST here on ZOOM for a time to connect. Due to distance and pandemic, we haven’t been able to see our friends and ministry partners as much as we’d like. We’d love for you to join us, share what God is doing in your life,…

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…
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,…
“Who is responsible for global missions? Even though most Christians will never move overseas, the Bible enlists every Christian and every local church in the grand project of global missions. The local church is the engine of world missions.” In November I met with the Missions Pastor at Cornerstone Baptist Church. He was…
Missions is often understood in the form of short-term service-oriented projects, such as medical missions or disaster relief or building projects. Being church planting missionaries to a first-world country, it can be challenging to explain exactly what we will do. What does daily life and ministry look like for a church planter or missionary in…
