Where is home? Recently, our middle child, Paton, drew a picture of his home. Well, at least he started to. He then quickly erased it and proceeded to draw a picture of his “homes”. One in Cambodia, one in California and one in Idaho. I think that summarizes our feelings this Christmas….
Thank you all for your prayers on our behalf – it has been quite a whirlwind! After about a month in Cambodia, packing up our life of eight years there and saying goodbyes, we arrived in Moscow, Idaho on September 7th. We were greeted by our friends who graciously invited some of their friends to…
We have now been in the United States for one complete year. This is the longest that we’ve ever lived in this country as a family, and by God’s grace, it has truly been a time of healing and restoration. We fully realize that this past year in the States would not have been…

While there are many negative aspects of this technology, we also believe God can use it for good. About two years ago, we launched PlovPit.com (meaning, “The True Way” in Khmer and pronounced, “ploe-put”). PlovPit is a…
We want to thank each one of you for your prayers and ongoing support during our time of furlough. We continue to seek the Lord for healing and rejuvenation during this time away from Cambodia. Christiana has been able to do a number of medical tests, including another MRI, but so far nothing has come…
