We were scheduled to leave Winnipeg on Friday, but after praying and thinking we decided to change our flights and leave a few days later. We needed rest. We were tired, cranky, stressed… not a good way to leave home and start travelling with a 2 year old and a newborn! And so, we became…

It finally happened. With a huff and a puff, out came little Jay Bird. Okay, so there was more to it than that. But anyways, he’s finally here. And he looks great! Was a little blue when he showed up, but now he’s got some good color. And mom is doing well too! She was a little…

For a baby that tried to come out two months early, this one sure is being stubborn! Ben and I were sure that this baby would at least come a week or so before the due date and everyone would get lots of time with our new little one. Well, now the baby is 5…

Just over 1 year ago we went to K*stan and spent a whole month there. It really was a great experience. We met and taught and lived with great people. Of course they have some different customs and different culture than we do, but they really are just like us. They want a good life, they…

Pioneering is hard work. I think we knew that when we started all of this, but I guess I had hoped it wouldn’t be :) We are excited to begin the very first Titus Project in Europe this July in Sweden, but the challenge is getting the SBS graduates to see how important it…

It has been so wonderful to be home! It really feels like a miracle. Though we never really know how things will end, so far it has been like a fairytale. While waiting for little baby to be born, we’ve been mostly working on preparing for Titus Project. We will be leading the 3…

Last night at 8.30pm we walked through the doors of Winnipeg International Airport. What a great feeling! Lots of family were there to meet us, grab our bags and take us home. The flights were quite uneventful, you know the story, long lines, long flights and too little sleep. But hey, sometimes, uneventful is a…

Today was the day we were waiting for- no more pills and a doctor’s appointment. An American friend here recommended a doctor to us that speaks great english so after prayer with our team we ventured off to see Dr. David. First he did another ultrasound (that is 3 in two weeks!) The baby…

I’m so thankful for this opportunity to be here. It’s been really great to get to spend time with Ang and Cassie. Little Cassie says my name now every once in a while and I love it. We spend lots of time together making meals for Ang and sometimes the whole team. This morning we…

Well, now I have been on bed rest for 5 days. I’m learning a lot about myself during this time! Last sunday one of the girls on our team was preaching in a church about a verse in 2 Corinthians. Paul says that God’s grace is sufficient for him, because God’s power is made perfect…

Yesterday early afternoon Angela returned to home. The pill form of the contraction-hindering medicine has been working so far. So the doctor sent us home with medicine for 10 days. If nothing happens until then, we will probably return for a checkup. This is GREAT news for us! More great news, help has arrived!…

I have a wonderful husband! Please keep supporting him with your prayers. Right now he is trying to be a team leader to 4 teachers who are all teaching everyday all over Aremenia (this just happened to be our busiest teaching week yet!) Also, he is trying to be a single dad to Cassie and…

Hey everyone, just lying here for the second night in the hospital. Still no contractions so that is good. Maybe I’ll find out more tomorrow. Just thought I would write a quick note of thanks for all the emails, love and prayers. I probably won’t write back to the emails, but I read every one!!!!

Wednesday (Yesterday), the doctors stopped Angela’s contractions with medicine. She is still on the drip and hasn’t had contractions since. Yesterday, they gave the baby steriods to help its lungs develop strength. Those steriods need at least another twelve hours before they take full effect so Angela will stay on the drip until then. After…

I just wrote a great blog, and somehow I erased it :( The undo button won’t work. Arghhhh. Well, I won’t re-write it all. Let’s just say that we are having a really great time seeing people’s lives impacted here in Armenia, and having our lives impacted as well! Everyone has been kind, hospitable and very…

Yerevan, Armenia. We landed safe and sound Thursday at 1am in the morning. It took nearly two more hours before we all had our visas and were on our way home … when the taxi stalled leaving half our team stranded. But the place we are staying – too high for our expectations. It is…
-
Well we have some good news – our whole team got all the money they needed and tomorrow we are off for Armenia. We’ve had some meaningful prayer times and some overwhelming logistics meetings but we are super excited to be on our way! Now we are saying good bye to our friends here in…
-
As we booked the tickets for our team to go to Armenia I was again reminded of the need for Titus Project Europe. The cost for us to send a team to Armenia from Taiwan (which is the closest Titus Project) is huge! Once we get there the cost of living is cheap, but we…

How many of you have ever had a tooth pulled? I think Dad threatened me once that he would use the plyers. Or did he get the string and tie it to a door and slam the door? I can’t remember. Leaving Taiwan last July we had no idea when we would return here to Taiwan. We…
