Getting 11 people out of the house and on the road for deputation meetings can present some challenges. We must ensure that everything we need for the travel, stay, and meetings are loaded up and not left behind at home. But we also want to make sure that we aren’t burying ourselves in stuff for the trip. Over-packing is extremely… Read more →
God has been working in mighty ways during the past year. We began 2020 at 11% support. Now, we are at 85%. This couldn’t have happened without your prayers and support, so thank you! Since we are getting so close, we’re beginning to make plans to move to Missionary Acres to begin our full-time ministry there. It is an exciting… Read more →
Quarantine put a lot of our plans for 2020 on hold. Thankfully, God still had plans for us. We were able to spend the past several months down in Missouri, volunteering at Missionary Acres. It was such a blessing to introduce this wonderful place to our children. This was their first time seeing it, and they fell in love with… Read more →
When you’re on deputation, school for the kids becomes a bit of a challenge. With trips taking you all around the country, your kids would miss too much school to stay enrolled in a traditional option. To avoid truancy problems, and increase flexibility, homeschooling on deputation becomes a great option. We’ve been homeschooling for many years, so we didn’t have… Read more →
Since we started deputation, we have seen God provide time and time again. But, while we were down in Missouri this summer, He did something incredible. And we wanted to share some of the details with you. But first a warning: this post talks about a medical situation, involving a feeding tube into the stomach. If topics like that turn… Read more →
Baptist Mid-Missions (BMM) is our mission board. When we went to Candidate Seminar, we learned so much. There’s a lot that goes on behind the scenes for every missionary on deputation. At Candidate Seminar, we were also given homework. One assignment was to read a selection of books about missions. We were asked to read these books for missionaries before… Read more →
Just when we thought we were finding a groove on deputation, life changed completely. And though deputation during a pandemic doesn’t look anything like normal deputation, we are learning that we can still trust God to see us through it. That’s because even in the midst of an unprecedented pandemic, God is still on the throne. This didn’t catch Him… Read more →
Up to this point, the majority of our deputation trips have been in Washington State. Which means the longest we’ve had to drive is about eight hours. But, the time has come for us to leave our home state and venture out further, telling new churches about our burden for Missionary Acres. In 2020, we will be presenting in Missouri,… Read more →
Bryan has been busy filling our 2020 deputation schedule. We’re so thankful for the churches in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Missouri, and Ohio that are allowing us to share our ministry this year. To get to all these churches, we will be spending a lot of time in the van. Which means we will be playing a ton of car… Read more →

Here are ten different requests of prayers for missionaries you can use:… Read more →
