This weekend Elizabeth and I will be going to the National Missionaries Convention down in Atlanta, GA! I've not had the opportunity in the past to attend, so I'm super excited! From what I've heard, there will be thousands of people there, all focused on growing the Kingdom of God! I'm looking forward to hearing all about the great things happening all around the globe right now. For my part, seeing so many together all working towards this same goal has always been an encouragement to me.
Along with that, we'll also get to meet with some of...

So as I sit and write this evening, I am sitting on a rather comfortable couch in a house in Virginia. Elizabeth and I have just finished our first week of our support trip across the States! I've mentioned in the last few posts that we would be traveling together to try to find those churches and individuals who would be willing to help us on our way to Papua New Guinea, whether that be through one time gifts geared specifically at our 2 month trip this spring, or through monthly gifts to help us in the long term. I've already been astonished...

The title says it all folks! I haven't written about this yet mostly because I've been trying to get in contact with some people before they could find out from the internet, but also because the usual pressures of school and work have been interfering with time that be used for blogging. I have, however, had a couple of requests for details on how I proposed, and so I find myself making time in my day to inform the wider world of these recent events.
Our...

Do you ever have the feeling that God is trying to tell you something?
I do. All the time I do! And this last week it seems that He has been trying to teach me about relying on Him. You see, I am a waiter. I've been waiting tables for 2 years now, and I'd like to think that I'm ok at the job. Not as great as I would like to be, but still, ok. Anyways, the other day I was waiting tables and I had a great day! I was on fire, moving quickly from table to table and never making a mistake, bringing things even before my customers asked...

So, one of the big events that is coming up in my life is my trip to Papua New Guinea this coming spring. As I plan on working in PNG long term after completing my training here in Dallas, we thought it would be a good idea to let me see what the ministry looks like in Papua New Guinea so that I would have a better understanding of where I will be fitting in! Pioneer Bible Translators does not currently have a literacy specialist on the ground in Papua New Guinea, but that doesn't mean that they haven't been teaching people there how to read. Part...

Session 2 of school is almost finished! I have been here at the Graduate Institute of Applied Linguistics (GIAL) since July, and so far I have been loving my classes! This semester I am only taking two classes, phonetics and phonology, as I am just getting started with my requirements for getting me to the field long term. Phonetics class is all about learning the sounds that humans make in order to communicate. We get to learn everything from how to make the simple every day letters all the way up to making and using clicks in language! Phonology...
