Back in Changsha

Saying Goodbye

So sad. We miss our families. It's because the love between us goes deep. Very deep. Actually, it's hard to express just how much we love our families.


Traveling with 2Kiddos

Everything went awesome as we traveled Minneapolis - Chicago - Beijing - Changsha starting on Thursday. Titus & Michael were amazing troopers and it was our best family flight yet.


Team Needs Your Thoughts

This fall there's a new family on our team: Dad, Mom, 3 year-old boy, 1 year-old girl. They're new to China and have little to no Chinese language abilities. It's been rough traveling and living the transient life, moving from North Carolina ... to training in Colorado ... to more training in Beijing ... finally to Changsha. They've been sick. They're just trying to survive.

Yesterday the dad was playing basketball with Chinese students and tore his Achilles tendon. So after finally getting halfway settled here, they will be moving back to Beijing so he can get proper surgery and therapy. They hope to return to Changsha within three months. Yes, this is awful but their attitudes are remarkable.

This family needs encouragement, rest, peace and confidence in Abba. Your thoughts for them are appreciated. Also be thinking of our team as we try to cover the dad's classes which he is now unable to teach.


Thank you.
