Andy is an MK from Brasil. Gina is a hometown girl from SE Wisconsin. We met in Waukesha, fell in LOVE...well, that is the beginning of a long story, that won't fit into this spot.
Since that day, we have been living and moving, and living, and moving, and yes moving some more! We have served 6 yrs in Brasil, and 4 yrs in Thailand. In both countries our main focus has been on the education and discipleship of high school students. Now we are working with college students. Our desire is to help them know the Lord better. We are serving at Ethnos Bible Institute in Waukesha, WI. Andy is the Dean of Education, and Gina is overseeing the campus library. We are privileged to be discipling the next generation of Christian leaders who will serve the Lord in foreign countries and in their local communities.
Thank you for taking the time to visit our blog and read up on the ministry we are involved in at New Tribes Bible Institute.

This is a little clip of part of my story that my church had me do for a series called "Making it Through".
I just wanted to share this because I know there are so many others
here struggling through Lyme and even though this is specific on Chronic
Illness, it applies to any struggle you may be facing, loneliness,
hurt, abuse, fear, depression, anxiety...
Guys, it's not easy! Sometimes it feels like life sucks and it is just not worth the struggle and fight to keep going. But,
we are never told we have to go at this alone. Don't lose site of who
we have taking each and every moment with us, the most Faithful and
Loving God who truly cares deeply for you!! Like I shared in this clip, I
still don't know why He's allowed half of what He's had me walk
through, but I don't have to because I know without a shadow of a doubt I
can trust Him! It doesn't all always make sense when you're in the
midst of it, but if you keep your eyes on Him, you'll see more and more
of his loving faithfulness in your life!!
"Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is
perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. For our light
affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more
exceeding and eternal weight of glory, while we do not look at the
things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the
things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen
are eternal."
