The IMB’s website has an article on the main page right now that about Brian and Becky Harrell, a missionary family that was appointed with us in Memphis and is already in their country of service.  You have got to read their story!

Today

This morning’s sessions were very challenging as we looked a little deeper into the lostness of the world around us and how important our task is as missionaries (and Christians in general).  After having lunch with our regional leadership, we had a very informative meeting as a regional group (everyone going to South America met [...]

Good, good sleep

If you haven’t yet read Jen’s post from yesterday, you should… it’s both hilarious and pitiful at the same time. With that preface, let me say that last night we had a great night’s sleep including Elijah sleeping THE WHOLE NIGHT! Praise God!!!
Yesterday’s teachings were great too. We looked at the biblical [...]

good morning

This morning is our most collectively motivated morning in our quad.  Jen and her accountability partner met in the common room this morning as a little extra motivation to find their ways out of bed and thus I decided to go ahead a get up while Jen fed the baby to grab a shower.  So, [...]

Information Overload

Just a quick word- We are getting TONS of info that is going to be so so helpful on the field… that is if my head doesn’t explode first! No, seriously, this is such good stuff.
*Okay, this post was more about being disciplined to post regularly than having something insightful to say. [...]

Family Day Part 1

Today we had Jen’s family up to visit us at ILC!  It was a load of fun with her mom, both sisters and their husbands with their combined 5 kids!  We definitely took over Quad 8 today!!   I am literally stumbling to bed the moment I finish this post but wanted you to know we [...]

Shot Day Part 2

Thought I’d quickly let you know that today was a nice day.  We got shots again today- 3 each for me and Jen plus a TB test.  The big boys got 2 shots each and Elijah got one.  Additionally, we will all (minus Elijah) be taking some pills for a few days for Typhoid Fever.  [...]

Typo’s

You may have noticed a “greater than normal” amount of typos on my blog recently.  This is due to less time for me when I type and more importantly, less time for Jen to proof it for spelling/typing mistakes before I post (she used to do that for me a lot).  Anyway, I bring it [...]

Fantastic Training… and an extra session

Today we got some great training!  We spent this morning learning the “Training for Trainers” (T4T) model which has been used mightily to encourage believers, even early in their faith, to intentionally share the gospel with those with whom God has given them contact.  I won’t bore you with the details but I will say [...]

much better

I’m on my way to bed, but I thought I’d quickly post to say that today was a much better day for me.  I got a way for about an hour and a half this afternoon which was nice.  Today’s sessions were on different “worldviews” and we each attended the session that most reflected the [...]
