Missions Videos

Over the summer I emailed several of you with a link to these missions videos that our family have enjoyed watching together and discussing. There are 7 videos, each about 5 minutes long. ​Yes, that's a lot of videos! But near to the heart of God is nearly half of the world's population who have yet to hear the gospel, and our children thoroughly understanding that. ​We want to share these videos with as many Christian families as possible to spark conversation about God's heart for the unreached people of the world.

With holidays and snow days approaching, I thought this may (or may not!) be a better time for your family to enjoy watching these videos together as a family. ​​​Some families have asked me to email or call them after one month to hold them accountable for watching the videos. Reply to this email if you would like for me to contact you. We would love to hear your family's take-aways from watching!

​Perhaps another opportunity for your family to learn about missions is to download and listen to these missions teachings ​as you travel together over the holidays.

One friend of mine thought that we were soliciting donations by sending the missions videos. Well, we are happy if you want to bless our family financially :-) but the reason we are promoting these videos is because we understand the importance of Christian parents helping their children to understand that Jesus deserves worship from all nations.

Fam Update

Yep, they are growing up. Kendra (17) is wrapping up high school at home, working at a local coffee shop, and trying to start a photography business. Samuel (16) worked 30+ hours a week on two farms over the summer. Now he has begun business classes at the local tech school. Anna (14) is joining him in those two classes, while working at the same coffee shop as Kendra, as well as working with horses at a local barn. Max (13) will soon begin a trial period of helping me with the online ministry. He joins the oldest three in a weekly co op where they study history and science. Max, Anna, and Samuel have begun cross country practice, but 2 months ago Samuel sprained his ankle and recently got out of an air cast. Heidi (10) is the big sister taking Henry (7) and Nehemiah (5) to the public school just behind our house. Petra (8) is staying home with Max and my wife, who is giving her a little extra attention this year. My wife is managing everything I have just written! I'm still pecking on this computer. We are blessed to have extended family live near us, as well as a weekly community group of 5-6 families to study the Bible, pray with, and fellowship together.


Please ask God to help my wife and I as we desire to parent according to the gospel, learning how consistency and grace work together.


There are 44 separate one on one relationships under our roof! That makes for lots of dynamics! Please ask God to give each of us grace, wisdom, consideration, and lots of unconditional love.
