On August 14, our family celebrated three years of being in Australia as missionaries. It has been quite the journey, but through it all, we’ve seen the hand of the Lord continue to work. Isla and I have spent our childhood in Australia, bu [...]
It’s been another packed winter during the months of June and July! They were months of celebration. Our youngest daughter Isla is now two years old. We enjoyed just a quiet celebration with family. Gwen turned eight on the Fourth of July. [...]

It was a packed July winter for our ministry here in Australia! Winter here where we live is probably not what some of you are used to in America. In Port Macquarie, it can get down to the lower 40s at night but get up to a balmy 60 to 70 d [...]
