On the Border: A Letter Home from the Danube (Update #5)

Before the dam, the Iron Gates gorge on the Danube was one of the most feared stretches of river in Europe. Boatmen wrote letters home the night before they went through. This is ours, recorded on a boat between Golubac Fortress and the Iron Gates, right on the Serbia–Romania border. In this episode: what a 600-year-old fortress taught us about the church, how God answered the prayer you prayed two months ago (Zander and Caleb are here!), our Bible table at the Najlon flea market, a new Serbian gospel tract with a QR code, Šumska avantura for kids, free Red Cross training, a Prayer Night for Serbia, and the Nicodemus Project this winter. Please pray with us: for the people we met in Niš, for a church grounded in the Word, for Zander, Caleb and the Nicodemus students, and for wisdom in several important decisions.

Tract "Bird cages"

This is a little project we are working on. This is an example of an audio tract. We will soon be pairing it with a short animation that puts a visual to this audio. Keep on! Expect great things from God, attempt great things for God.

Crowded and Empty: Our Final Stateside Update

In this final update before returning to Southern Europe, we reflect on four months of furlough, six years of missionary service, and the personal cost and lasting purpose of following God’s call.Recorded from my late grandmother’s home, this is a quieter and more personal update about grief, family, supporting churches, the condition of the ministry, and the decisions awaiting us when we return. We also share our desire to strengthen the church, disciple national believers, and prepare others to carry the work forward with biblical conviction.As you listen, please pray for wisdom concerning the ministry’s next stage, deeper spiritual roots among the believers, strength for our family’s return, and grace through another season of travel, transition, and difficult goodbyes.Scripture: Psalm 90:12 and 2 Corinthians 4:18Thank you to every church, pastor, family, and individual who has prayed, given, and stood beside us throughout these past six years.

Starship Log #5 (Prayer Letter no 5) 2023

Daily blessings: September and October have been no slower than usual for us. I had the opportunity to visit the Czech Republic, and Croatia to help a national pastor. We have had new visitors in church and acquaintances outside of church grow in interest and curiosity about our faith and this life of ours that they watch on display. We need God to do His work through us and pray that He will use us to reach the lost here. Past outreaches: A few days before school started here we organized a trip for our small group to the zoo. I think we had 22 of us in total, including our missionary friends from Mexico who stayed with us for a month. We all had a great day as we traveled by bus, car, and train to view the wonderful creations of God. Many of you asked how our friend day went, that we held in a park one Saturday evening. We advertised online as well as in person with flyers. Besides our regular church friends we had two other visitors come. One young man from Russia who I met in language school and the other was a muslim refugee man from Sudan. I had my guitar, we played some hymns and had snacks and some games for the kids. Everyone seemed to enjoy it and the fellowship and we look forward to hosting another one this coming spring. Future outreaches: In February we plan to do a winter campaign in the north. This will be our first family conference. The families here are a disaster and most of them recognize that there are many problems in the home. Our goal is to host this conference and teach them that the solutions to a solid happy family can be found in the pages of the Bible and are rooted in the Creator of the home. After the conference we plan to have a few days of follow-up classes in hopes of seeing the interest in starting a local church group there. If you are a church interested in helping fund this conference and the material to go with it just let us know. Another future plan is to have an emotional sickness conference here as well. We recently traveled to the Czechia to witness one put on by a church from Oklahoma. We talked to them about having one with us here. They seemed excited so we will wait and see how the Lord works this out. We also have a ladies meeting, mens "European bbq" and a family day to the forest planned over the next couple of months. Homeschool: In September my wife began homeschooling our children. The boys have enjoyed learning and we count it a blessing that the Lord has allowed us to be in a country where this is possible. It also has caught the attention of some of the people we know here. Many are intrigued about a mother teaching her own children and ask the question, "why?" It is a good opportunity to have a conversation about the Bible. We also have hired a college student named Djurdjica to teach Miloš and Nikola language twice a week. People: The Lord has blessed us with several new friends who visit us often in the church here. We still have our Russian family of seven that comes to be with us every other week. We have two Brazilian couples who enjoy our English service, our three native friends that meet us for local services, and a young lady from Russia who has joined us for a time, for how long only the Lord knows. Last week we had another visitor from the capital named Dima who seemed to enjoy the fresh truth of the Word as well. Please pray for the church here as God leads and grows us all.

To the River and beyond!

Summary of Recent Activities: Two months ago, Brother Ben Decker visited us, bringing great encouragement to our Russian Christian community. We’ve held membership classes, emphasizing salvation and proper baptism, and were blessed to baptize Regiani in the river. Our church services have moved to hotel conference rooms, and we’ve been blessed with growing attendance. We continue to seek a permanent meeting space. Our fellow missionary family has returned home, and we request prayers for their safety. On the family front, we look forward to visits from Kaylin’s family and our pastor in the coming months. We’re making progress towards establishing our church as an official Serbian Independent Baptist Church, which will enhance our outreach efforts. Finally, 1,000 New Testaments, along with copies of John and Romans, are being printed for distribution, thanks to the support of many contributing churches.

Podcast Show Notes Title: Time Jump Chronicles: Faith and Ministry Abroad Episode Description: In this episode, step into our world as we reflect on a month filled with challenges, blessings, and impactful moments. From a dynamic outreach campaign to a heartfelt orphanage visit, we share how God’s hand has guided us every step of the way. Hear about the creative ways we adapted to unexpected hurdles, the lives touched through our ministry, and the milestones that remind us of His faithfulness. What We Discuss in This Episode: • How a canceled venue almost derailed our outreach campaign—and how we overcame it. • The joy of engaging with children during our orphanage outreach, sharing God’s love in subtle yet meaningful ways. • Updates on new church members, long-term visas, and the provision of ID cards that strengthen our ministry. • Looking ahead: planning future Bible studies, preparing for a furlough, and continuing to distribute Bibles in the local community. Thank You! Your prayers and support make this work possible. From the gifts and encouragement to the faithfulness in standing with us, we are so grateful.
