At the beginning of 2016 I began the journey of writing the thesis for last part of my Master’s Degree in Biblical Studies. This past week I finally completed this huge project in my life! (You can read the thesis attached to this post if you would like). It was quite the road to travel.…

An incredible trip – wonderful hosts who really invited us in to minister, a hungry audience for our seminars who were passionate for God, and time for depth and growth as a team. First a short story and some comments and then if you’re interested, lots of details. During our study skill teaching times we include…

Thank you to everyone who prayed! It really meant a lot. Ben arrived today back from India at lunch time safe and sound. The kids were thrilled to get home from school and be welcomed with a big hug from Dad! It is amazing how much we all missed him. We just snuggled on the…

Jay and I read through this verse the other day and talked about strength, inner strength and outer strength. I really pray he grows up to be a trustworthy man, who is honest, hates bribes and stands against injustice. Later that day he decided he wants to be strong on the outside too and wants…

What’s life like as a missionary kid? It’s hard. It’s painful. And for many, it’s a blessing that can’t be beat. by Sophia Lee December 10, 2016 The MK privilege Most missionaries can remember a moment when they questioned the sacrifices of their calling. For Grant Funk, it was the day he found his oldest…

I know… cheesy title but I couldn’t resist! Whenever someone asks Ben or I to come and teach, whether it be in a DTS, or on an SBS we always pray and ask God if this is the right decision for our family. Especially because we live on support, so every trip we take is…

Right now we have a Titus Project team in Albania. Sonya (you may remember, she is our Ukrainian teammate that has taken leadership of Titus Project Europe) is in Albania leading one of our teams that I (Angela) helped train in England last month. Her perspective is very interesting! It’s been only ten days here…

What did you do for Thanksgiving this year? Well, every year we endeavor to help our kids have a sense of identity, and specifically Canadian in certain ways. One of the ways we do that is by celebrating the holidays. This past Monday we invited Abby (another YWAMer who is Canadian) and we had a…

Josh and Saana were great ministry partners and friends who pioneered a new ministry for us here in Kyiv. It was called Aqueduct, where we take Inductive Bible Study and offer it to working professionals and students in the city (twice a week in the evening). This past spring Josh and Saana left Kyiv to…

This past year I have been working on my thesis for my Masters Degree in Biblical Studies. It has been a really fun thesis as I have been studying the early church fathers and how their writings can be helpful and more applicable to evangelical Christians. I’m looking for people who would be willing to…

Musings? Okay, weird word, but it is early friday morning so I am in a bit of a weird mood :) This past week our YWAM Kyiv Leadership team took 4 full days to meet, pray, and plan for the next year. It was a wonder-full time! One morning we read through Psalms 119 and…

We have been following the Olympics this year and we have really enjoyed watching the athletes work so hard. As we have been thinking about this, and enjoying time at home in Canada with so many people we love, we have realized that though we may be out on the ‘frontlines’ there are so many…

This is the subtitle of the Alliance Magazine that is on my desk. It resounds and challenges my heart. As we are home in Canada for the summer, this does not mean we go into ‘vacation’ mode where we are less ‘on mission’ than before. In reality, we all need to be open to the…

After almost four years we finally all got together in Taiwan for an International Titus Project Consultation. Representatives from Montana, Mexico, Europe, Taiwan, and Turner Valley were present. Here is a quick overview of our time together 1) Every location (a place where Titus Project follows the SBS) introduced what they are up to! We…

Isabel- I had such a good time in Ukraine with everyone! I loved doing the quest room, going to Russian church with the whole team, having an EPIC Easter egg hunt in the freezing cold, attending the Kiev ballet and colouring cool pages with Cassie, Jay and Kai. Even though my ranch dressing turned out…

A story from our team in Central Asia- Upon getting to Karakol, we quickly learned our contacts had big plans for us! Karakol is the fourth largest city in Kyrgyzstan (though it has a population of just over 60,000, so it feels quite small), and it is the largest city on Lake Issyk-Kul, in north east Kyrgyzstan (we’re…

Usually our vacation time is spent either in Canada or in a neighbouring country. BUT this year we decided to stay in Ukraine and visit a few smaller cities the West. After our trip we asked the kids, what were your highlights? Cassie: Doing the Quest Room in Rivne. It was really challenging and I…
