Happy third birthday to our spoiled Audrey! She knows the advantages of being the baby and she has a way to get exactly what she wants.

We are overwhelmed with gratitude of how God is using people to invest in our ministry. Honestly, He is leaving us speechless and in awe as we watch Him move in ways only He can move. Several weeks ago, I was talking to a lady from Guatemala. She was very complimentary of our work in … More Overwhelmed!
As Soy and I were originally planning to go to live on the mission field, we were pretty sure that would mean an appointment somewhere on the other side of the world. We were good with that if that was the will of God for our lives. However, ever after basically spending entire Summer in … More Welcome MiMi!
