Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to dwell together in unity! It is like the good oil upon the head, coming down upon the beard…It is like the dew of Hermon coming down upon the mountains of Zion; For there, Yahweh commanded the blessing - life forever. Psalm 133
If we have not said it in a while…Thank you!
Thank you for your commitment to prayer.
Thank you for joining us in this journey to reach the Bibleless people groups.
Thank you for the sacrificial offering of your time, talents, and resources.
Oh, what treasures God has stored up in heaven for YOU!
Family Updates:
This October our hearts were full as we spent lots of fun times with our niece Egypt in Charlotte, NC.
Brandon got in some Father/Son/Daughter time while Cat was in a conference!
Also, during our stay, we connected with a few of our Prayer/Financial partners and local churches. We anticipate seeing how God will join our work with the body of Christ in Charlotte.
We had the opportunity to revisit where we first met - South Park Mall, Charlotte, NC - right in front of the fountain in the picture below. Fourteen years and still going strong!
Last but not least, we were so blessed to be able to celebrate the baptism of both our second oldest daughter, Adin, and our youngest son, Ellis! ❤️🙌🙌
Quick recap below:
We celebrated with our beloved family and friends on Sunday, October 23. Adin accepted Jesus in 2018 and Ellis accepted Jesus this past summer.
Missionary Updates:
Our partnerships have grown in leaps and bounds over the past few weeks!
We have reached a milestone in our journey and have had the incredible opportunity to partner with a few organizations!
God is so good, and His timing is impeccable!
As we ease into November and the holiday season, please continue to pray as we speak with churches, and the Lord opens the hearts of others to join us in this journey to wrap our arms around the global Body of Christ.

What Do You Take For Granted?
Here’s a reminder of why we do what we do.
It can be easy for us to take certain things for granted; access to food, shelter, clothes and even God’s Word. But what if you woke up one morning without access to any clean water, food or shelter. What would your life look like?
And what would your life look like if you could not have the Bible in your language?
For millions of people around the world, this is still their daily reality. They do not have Scripture in a language and format they can clearly understand. And that is why Wycliffe Bible Translators exists.
Wycliffe’s mission is to serve with the global body of Christ to advance Bible translation and work together so people can encounter God through His Word.
Not a partner?
We must have 100% of our prayer and financial partnership team in place before we can be released into our assignments. Once released we will serve right here in Fayetteville, North Carolina as a part of the US Wycliffe Recruiting Team. Many of the skills we learned through service in our home church and community will now be put to use in our new positions. Would you pray with us and ask God to continue to provide for our needs? He has been so faithful to walk with us each step of our journey.
