We made it home to Elkhart, Indiana late June and now July, too, is nearly behind us. Our time in Congo has given us a lot to think about and certainly challenges our day-to-day decisions. If you are willing, please pray for the Lord to make it clear how we are to advance in ministry […]
Seven weeks in Congo have come to an end. By the time you receive this we, Lord willing, will be boarding our first of three flights taking us back to Canada. I could give you lists of jobs completed, challenges endured, and parasites we’ve had to remove from our bodies… But all I want to […]
Bats live between the ceiling and the roof of our house, you can hear them scurry during the day and fly at night. The refrigerator only operates four hours a day (when the generator is on) and the national fuel shortage means there’s no replacement once our propane tank for the stove runs out. This […]
It’s time to test our Tetris skills again! Let’s see if we can fit everything we need for deputation in Montreal plus everything we need to serve for a few months in Africa into the back of the car. Read the list and let me know if I’ve missed anything! Tomorrow morning we hit the […]
Remember when you asked us to tell you if there was ever a special project or one-time need, to let you know? We’ve heard that from many of you, and this, right now, is that time. But more about that in a bit, because I want to let you know where we are going to […]
Waaay back in June 2014, we arrived in Elkhart, Indiana to begin our service as full time missionaries. My second day at work (I’m in the office each Wednesday afternoon) we had a payer send off for a shipping container heading to the Republic of Congo. The container held parts to create a 300-foot radio […]
A few people have requested more frequent communication from us– so a goal for 2017 is to send you a newsletter each month! Below is a summary from Tom’s trip to Haiti, written by a colleague, Ted Miller. Ted and his wife Jean have served as missionaries for eighteen years. Hi there! My name […]
Thank you for being part of our team in 2016 – it was an incredible year! The following is my (Candice’s) attempt at summarizing some of the highlights. If you ever want to know more about any aspect of what we do, please don’t hesitate to contact us. We could do coffee over the phone […]
American Thanksgiving was this past week, and we have much to be thankful for – 2016 has been an incredible year! Thank you for being part of it. Below is a brief update on two of our major projects as well as exciting news about our work visas. As always, if you have any questions, […]
We arrived back home on June 30th. What a whirlwind of a time in Manitoba! Thank you to all of the churches, supporters, committees, and all-around awesome people who hosted us while we were in town. During that one-month deputation I was frequently asked about our home and life in Indiana, so I thought I’d […]
