Serve the Lord With Gladness

Psalm 100 exhorts us to present ourselves to God with thankful song and joyful service because “He is good and his steadfast love endures forever; his faithfulness to all generations.” Northern Togo may not be on anyone’s top travel destinations list, but we are so thankful that God has directed us here. He has given...CONTINUE READING

For His Glory and Our Good

The last three months have been exceptionally busy and full of answered prayer!  In May we completed our doctrinal exam for ABWE.  The interview lasted nearly three hours and happened to be on our 27th wedding anniversary – but it was a very good experience and a relief to have that task accomplished. In June,...CONTINUE READING
Hospital of Hope group shot celebrating ten years

Celebrating God’s Faithfulness

On February 26th, the Hospital of Hope employees, along with the missionary medical staff, celebrated ten years of service here in Mango.  It is amazing to think about the platform that this hospital has given to the Gospel in this region of the world.  Tens of thousands of patients from Togo and neighboring countries have...CONTINUE READING

Day Trip to Kara

Trophies are polished off. Cold sodas are loaded into a cooler. Competitors and spectators gather excitedly. And after the scores are tallied...CONTINUE READING

How Do You Discern God’s Will?

The last couple of months have been full of prayer and soul searching.  When we wrote our last newsletter, we believed that the Lord was directing us to go to language school next year.  We thought that it made sense to leave Togo while there were fewer families in Mango (due to multiple overlapping furloughs...CONTINUE READING

All the Critters

I wouldn’t really call us “animal people” … but we have had some pretty cool pets since living in Africa. It started with a couple of Senegal parrots. Lately we have also shared our home with a hedgehog and a chameleon. We often get the see (and smell!) a herd of cattle, sheep and goats,...CONTINUE READING
