Tree Chop

The kids chopping a tree down in Mesa, AZ

Hello everyone!

We are officially complete with missions training for Logistics Coordination! The training has been a blast and it was fun to get to know the other families in our class. Our class even grew numerically as there were two babies born in the middle of it (not literally). Joey Tartaglia has been an invaluable resource for training and we feel prepared as we can be! I recently dropped 10 hours per week with my current employer, freeing up more time for theological training. I am starting classes in Grace Bible Institute with one of our elders (Smedly Yates). This training will be continuing until and Lord willing after when leave for PNG. Its a joy to have an opportunity to learn more about Jesus Christ, and cultivate a greater love for Him. Please pray for diligence as I start this training.

Lorie and I recently got back from a much needed vacation (with no kids!). We had a blast seeing my brother in Florida and enjoyed time having fun, strengthening our marriage, and building greater communication. Greer is officially in homeschool Kindergarden and loving it. Lorie is enjoying the structure this provides for Greer and Belle (yes, Belle does some school work too). Knox is continually a crazy boy and the daring one in the family. He regularly sword fights and wrestles with Greer and I and throws a football! With the weather cooling down to a brisk 90 degrees we have been playing outside frequently! Above is a photo of the kids and I chopping down a tree in the back yard (exciting!)

To those that are currently support us financially – Thank you! We are praying that the Lord would continue to provide as he already has through faithful supporters like you. Do you have a desire to support missionaries taking the Gospel to the tribal people of PNG? If so please consider praying about your financial involvement with this ministry.

Also, please let me know if you attend a church that may be interested in supporting what we are doing – I would love the opportunity to chat with you.

Our current provision from the Lord!
