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.

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.

May & June 2026 Ministry Update | Furlough Travels

Join us for a personal update from our recent furlough travels as we share what the Lord has been doing over the past couple of months. Our family has been traveling, reporting to supporting churches, reconnecting with friends, spending time with family, and continuing school on the road. It has been a busy season with both blessings and challenges, but we are grateful for the many people who have prayed for us, encouraged us, and helped care for our family along the way. We also share encouraging news from the ministry overseas. While we have been away, the church has continued meeting faithfully. The Lord has brought several believers and families alongside the work to help with preaching, hospitality, practical needs, encouragement, and regular ministry responsibilities. We are especially thankful for the faithfulness and growth of several young people in the church who have helped serve, organize, welcome visitors, and care for important needs during this season. Later in the update, we share about a missions training week that was a great encouragement to our family. It was a blessing to spend time with other missionaries, churches, and believers who have a heart to serve the Lord around the world. Please continue praying for our family’s health and strength as we travel, for the churches still on our schedule, for the people helping with the ministry overseas, and for the church to remain strong and continue growing while we are away. Thank you for standing with us in prayer and support. God bless. #MissionaryUpdate #Furlough #Missions #MinistryUpdate #ChurchPlanting
