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!”
Hudson on a Mission
I am excited to announce my new book, Hudson on a Mission, available for pre-order today through CMM Press. This has been an exciting project for me, because its a natural outflow of our ministry as parents, missionaries, and mobilizers. 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.

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)”
This is Darn Good Water, Y’all
“What is an idol? It is anything more important to you than God, anything that absorbs your heart and imagination more than God, anything you seek to give you what only God can” Timothy Keller There’s nothing like working in the hot Texas Summer sun to make you thirsty. Jim and I (well, okay, mostlyContinue reading “This is Darn Good Water, Y’all”
Movin’ Along
We just finished up our final semester at NTM’s Missionary Training Center in Missouri, and have made it back to the great state of Texas (and yes, Hudson knows full well by now that TX is God’s country). Depending on when our visas can be processed, we expect to leave sometime between April and NovemberContinue reading “Movin’ Along”
Last Semester in MO
This semester – our last here at NTM’s Missionary Training Center in Missouri – we are taking the Linguistics Course. It’s an intense course involving studying the ins and outs of analyzing obscure, unwritten languages, so that in the village we eventually end up in, we will be able to put the unwritten language intoContinue reading “Last Semester in MO”
