Spring 2020 Newsletter

In this “Spring 2020” edition of our newsletter, we share an encouraging word as we all face times of uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic around the world. We also share how we arrived back to Finland just before this crisis started and how being here is allowing us to bring hope as we serve in our local congregation as we share the Good News.

We also share some photos from our visit to the northern part of Finland, Lapland, with our missionary colleagues, the Mikeals, as we serve in this country together.

Thank you for standing with us in prayer and support. God bless you!

Winter 2020 Newsletter

In this “Winter 2020” edition of our newsletter, we share an update on our progress to reach our budget and return back to Finland by early February 2020. (At the time of this post, we are needing just $300 in new monthly commitments. Check out our Giving page for more info on how to join us.)

Also, with the new year just starting, we wanted to share some thoughts on how this is the perfect time to pause, reflect and refocus our hearts and lives. We draw from an example in the life of the Apostle Paul when he took a moment to see where he has been, where he is at and where he is going. We seek to follow that example as we serve serve as missionaries in Finland.

Thank you for standing with us in prayer and support. God bless you!
