Before sharing about our holiday here, I have to give a big praise. On Monday of this week we visited the police station and submitted our application for our residence visa. And the big praise is that there weren’t any problems! So, we are are technically on a temporary visa…
All About Albania – VBS videos
Heads up! We’re working on getting a fancy schmancy new newsletter out before the month ends, but we wanted to share some videos with you guys in the meantime. Last week, we had the big blessing of sharing about Albania via video with an amazing group of kids as they…
God has a plan for Mboria.
There’s a need here in Albania, and in need we are going to God in prayer. And, we’d like to ask you to make some requests to God too. The church we are a part of in Korce ministers to the kids in a nearby village, Mboria. The work there…
Two weeks in Albania. The food.
Kenny has told many people that the way we lived the past year did a number on his weight…like 20 numbers, actually. He wasn’t teaching anymore, so he wasn’t pacing around a classroom like crazy, he wasn’t skipping lunches to grade papers, he wasn’t riding his bike to school. Instead…
The Trip to Albania

We might live in a house!
Last night we waited for friends to arrive at a restaurant for half-an-hour while they sat on the other side of the restaurant waiting for us. I mean, we met some friends for dinner last night, and had an awesome time! While talking to them about our imminent move to…
Are You Ready?
I just came across a handout from one of the seminars that we really appreciated when we attended the National Missionary Convention when it was in Peoria, IL a couple years ago. The speaker was Mike Nichols, and if I remember right, he’s was a professor at Lincoln Christian University.…
Moving to Albania NEXT MONTH!
Seems like everyone is looking forward to March. The Hunger Games movie (can’t wait!), spring-time, Spring-break, March Madness, MLB spring-training …everyone has something. But for us, even bigger than seeing the Hunger Games, the arrival of March means that we will be moving to Albania NEXT MONTH! The end of…
Take a number…
We all make many commitments and we have lots of responsibilities and sometimes it seems praying for the missionaries could get forgotten. I love the updates from the ministries that we support, reminders of the work that we are a part of in giving and in prayer, do just what…
