2025: A Year of Change

Wow!

2025 has been a year of mountain tops and valley bottoms. Our website hasn’t been updated forever, so let me quickly catch you up to speed on some key points.

In January our lives and career as full-time cross-cultural missionaries were thrown into a season of transition without warning. The EFCC’s decision to discontinue the service and employment of salaried international missionaries meant that major changes were coming. As of April 30th we were without employment. God has been faithful in this painful process. His grace has been sufficient everyday.

From the valley to the mountain top…

We welcomed our first grandchild, a healthy and beautiful grandson in June! An amazing gift from God! Being grandparents is the best!

Our oldest son got married in September to a beautiful young lady and we couldn’t be happier to see all our kids now forming their own homes and families!

As we have looked to God to provide for our everyday needs we have sensed His leading us to get back into the design world/industry. Shelli has started “Touch of Eden Design Studio” with design and decorating services in the areas of florals, weddings, funerals, interior design and decoration and much more. I, Greg, am reconnecting with home design and the company that I worked 6 years for before leaving for Mexico – Spectrum Design in Didsbury. 

Thank you to the many of you who have journeyed this year with us and have prayed for us. Your love, prayer and encouragement have been greatly appreciated.

May you enjoy a wonderful Christmas season and a great start to 2026!
