Every time I receive lots of feedback: “Are you recording the teachings”, “I wish I could do the SBS”, “I would love to hear more about those books!” BUT I have…

  • It is hard to believe that Ben and I ran our first Titus Project in Europe 16 years ago. And yet, we still get to see the fruit of some of the early seasons. Ben and I were invited to teach in the School of Biblical Studies in Sweden. I was teaching Ezra and I…

  • 1) Are you really coming home for a whole year?  Yes, with the children in school now (they grow up fast!) it makes sense for our furlough year to correspond to the school year. We will be back at the end of June and stay until the summer of 2019. 2) What does it mean…

  • Nadia is one of my coworkers. She is from the Western part of Ukraine and grew up in the Soviet Union. She remembers standing in line for hours with her sisters to get a bit of candy, (which ran out just as they got to the front of the line). I was privileged to travel…

  • Go Canada!

    Ben and Ang are forcing me to write a blog about my first impressions of Ukraine and YWAM and YWAM in Ukraine, which is a dangerous thing to do when I am so jet lagged…  Luckily, my impressions so far have been good ones.  I will elaborate with a three point sermon: First of all,…

  • Hospitality comes from two greek words: Philao – φιλό is one of several words for “love” in Greek. Being a more precise language than English, classical Greek has a few different ways to express the word “love.” In this case, the word that is used means “brotherly love” or “to love like a brother”. Xenos –…

  • Ukraine

    Ukraine is on our minds again. My kids and I were building blocks with Jenga Tetris tiles and we put together a little Ukrainian flag. If you have a moment today, pray for Ukraine, Nigeria, and Israel. We forget that people all over the world are stuck in the middle of wars that many of…

  • When it comes to living in far off places there are so many things that we have to learn. So when I read an article about what people need to learn if they are coming to Canada or America I thought it kind of interesting. HSBC has a culture guide by country which is what…

  • We have travelled and taught and studied multiple new languages with such variety as Mandarin Chinese, Indonesian and Russian. Of course, as teachers it is incredibly important to show humility by also being a learner, of culture and language, so that we don’t think we only have something to offer without also realizing that we…
