Happy New Year!
Looking Back At 2021
It is that time of year again... when we reflect on the previous year and prepare for the next. 2021 didn't hold what we thought…

Officially Enroute!
This past week we had our final interview with some of the field leadership with Ethnos360 and we have been officially accepted to the field.

Made it to Michigan!
This week we arrived to our new home in Michigan. Lord willing, this will be our last move before we head to the Philippines this November!!!

Maybel Peace
On March 13th. Lizzy (39 weeks along) went into labor with our second daughter Maybel Peace.

Happy New Year from Ohio!
After finishing up our missionary training in Missouri, Lizzy and I moved to Ohio and were able to settle into our new place about a week before traveling up to Michigan to visit my family for Christmas.

The Linguistics Life in Oklahoma
We have been in Oklahoma for about six weeks while Gerald is doing his linguistics practicum, and we have about two weeks left until we are finished here.

Missouri Summer!
Members of Ethnos360!
Lizzy and I received our Bachelors Degree in Intercultural Ministries and are now are officially members of Ethnos360!

God's Perfect Timing
Lizzy's Seizures
As some of you know this has been a strange and eye opening couple of weeks for us.

Happy New Year
Introducing Baby Sybil!
She has been a very healthy baby and we are grateful for that. It is hard to think that she is already almost a month old; time is flying by.

The Baby is Almost Here!
Getting Prepared
Our little girl is due next month! This means making sure everything is ready.

The Expectations of Life
I just wanted to spend a little bit of time updating everyone on our summer…

So If you Haven't Heard
We are Having a Girl!
We just set up our baby room for our little girl due Nov. 29th. We are so excited for this big new change around the corner!

Spring is Here!
65 and sunny! This is the weather that I love. We are enjoying the nice weather here at the Missionary Training Center here in Missouri.

A Griefs Reflection
This past year has been such a whirlwind to say the least. There have been times when life has felt…

We're All Moved In
After over 3,000 Miles of driving this past month we have settled in Camdenton, MO and classes have started!
Finding a Lifelong Love
Gerald and I met at Bible school three years ago in Michigan and were in the same class…

Changing Seasons
It may not look or feel like spring yet, but it is coming!. This season I get to marry my beautiful best friend, Lizzie Otto, and begin our journey together!
