The Biblical Context for Missions – Part 1
The following text was originally intended as a short booklet with which we could communicate to our friends and partnering churches the basic Biblical context for missions that has helped to motivate us to take part in cross-cultural ministry. Since a document sitting dormant on my hard drive for three years (that will likely never seeContinue reading “The Biblical Context for Missions – Part 1”
Noah Lawrence
Noah was born on March 8, and we are all in love. Hudson expressed it well when he sweetly said, “Noah, you’re da best widdle brudder I ever wanted.” We’re fortunate to have Jim’s family close by, and Rachel’s Mom stayed with us (read: “spoiled us”) for about a week. Below, Hudson is bringing someContinue reading “Noah Lawrence”
Welcome, 2014!
For about the past 5 years, 2014 has been our target for heading to Asia Pacific, so we readily welcomed in the new year! We are in Denton, TX, and have been for over a month now since we completed our training in Missouri. We have since found some language helpers (from our future country) at theContinue reading “Welcome, 2014!”

My desire from the beginning has been to produce a book that will be aContinue reading “Hudson on a Mission”

Reflections on Moving On (again)
For the past four years the majority of my free time has been spent in the company of Jared Weichert and Noe Martinez. Half a year ago – upon the completion of our NTM missionary training – Jared and his family packed up and left for the green pastures of California to begin the nextContinue reading “Reflections on Moving On (again)”
Happy Independence Day!
This past weekend was the Cherokee National Independence Day celebration, and we got to join some of the local festivities! Saturday we hit the parade, followed by various exhibits and games. Can you tell which one is Jim? Okay, just kidding – it’s another picture of the parade.Continue reading “Happy Independence Day!”
Home Sweet Home! (for a couple months, anyway)
Just days ago we arrived in Tahlequah, Oklahoma, capital of the Cherokee Nation! After being on the road all Summer, we are happy to be in a place we can call “home” (even if our digs are a little unconventional). We are staying at Tenkiller Baptist Assembly (a campground, and ask us sometime for theContinue reading “Home Sweet Home! (for a couple months, anyway)”
