America—Date Night…Poetry?
America—Date Night…Poetry? Some wild things have gone on the past three weeks that have led me to be driven around by family and friends recently. It’s good to get off the couch and out of the house. My back is tight and cabin fever is real, and I need to move to start working through … Continue reading America—Date Night…Poetry?
Going East. Returning Home.
It’s about that time… Sometimes when we are preparing to head back out after time in the United States, people say, “enjoy your trip!” In some ways, the sentiment is well received; it’s an awkward interaction and people don’t know what to say. At the same time, one of our goals is to disciple supporting … Continue reading Going East. Returning Home.
—Ways to pray—
Radio Ministry: Hearing the Word We host/support five broadcasts throughout the week, 1/2 hour each. Pray for Muslims, those steeped in witchcraft, and those bound in empty religiosity, to hear the truth and trust Christ by faith. Pray for the message of God’s grace to extend further and further.

What is it that Christ has done?
God is perfect and holy. Adam willfully sinned against God and that sin separated man from God. All from Adam’s line have a sin nature which the flesh has no ability to undo. Christ came into the world to save for Himself a chosen people, the elect. God had a plan from before the foundation … Continue reading What is it that Christ has done?
2023 Recap for the Readers

As it is landing on a receipt, it always needs to be fit to one page which is already including other details. That feels quite prohibitive! Additionally, so many pray for the work … Continue reading 2023 Recap for the Readers
Helping that didn’t help.
Ever buried a couple thousand Bibles in the ground? We felt terrible on that day. It was our two apprentices (serving with us for three months from the States), our Muslim-background Christian brother from Darfur, and a couple handfuls of children from the “neighborhood.” We dug a massive pit to bury the Bibles in. My … Continue reading Helping that didn’t help.

Maybe you already live far from the place you called “home” while growing up. Or, maybe you are thinking and praying about the direction in life the Lord is calling you to; perhaps that calling is confirmed and you are in the preparation phase of getting to the field where the Lord would have you serve.

Thrift Store Finds
Kilby and I love to find books at thrift stores to see what forlorn nuggets of wisdom are hiding under dust and dim-lighting, down from attics and off from neglected bookshelves. Many sit overlooked but we try to sift and discover a few to keep in circulation, as often as possible. Some have made their … Continue reading Thrift Store Finds
More Sweet Memories!
Here is another window into the corner of the world we call home. We are thankful for the time in the USA: cool weather, old friends and dear family, familiar foods, good visits with local congregations, and many daily conveniences…but the excitement of getting back to our labors in Africa is growing as the time … Continue reading More Sweet Memories!

We are looking forward to our return to East Africa in 2023. I wanted to show you a few photos of the place the Lord has brought us to live and grown our hearts to love deeply. Photo 1: Kilby in front of the mud mansion, where we stay in South Sudan! Photo 2: The … Continue reading Sweet Memories!
