2016 in Rear-view
It seem like I’ve spent a lot of time in the car these last few months. Trips to Texas and Canada for training. Trips home for Thanksgiving and Christmas. And a few vacation trips as well. As January 11 quickly approaches, I’ve spent the last few weeks looking back over my season in Colorado. As…
August Update
At 9,000ft surrounded by the crisp clean Rocky Mountain air, for the first time ever, five staff* and their families sat down at the same table to have a meal together. There was a sense of unity and commencement as the Cambodia team made small talk and just began to get to know one another.…
June Update
Only 6 more months to go before I board an airplane headed for Phnom Penh. While I contemplate the idea of finishing my time here in Colorado Springs well, I have begun focusing my time on the relationships and community I have built here over the last two years. School Out-reach and VBS Over the…
Moving to Phnom Penh
Last month our Cambodia office director, Chad and EMI CEO John and their families traveled to Cambodia to make the final city selection. After meeting with over 25 missionaries and ex-patriots living in Cambodia, it became abundantly clear that Phnom Penh was the best choice. With only 8 short months left in the US, the…

The EMI Southeast Asia Launch (SEAL) team has been busy busy busy this last month reaching out to contacts around the world to make connections with missionaries in SEA. We will be meeting with expat missionaries, relief and development ministries, nationals, and churches…
February Update
February has proven unpredictable. The month started out with 60 deg days and some nice hiking with my friend and coworker, Vicky, and ended in snow days and below freezing. Personally, I like the capricious weather. It keeps me on my toes. But the best surprise of the month was getting to reconnect with Setan…
January Update
January is wrapping up and 2015 is promising to be an eventful year. January at EMI marks the beginning of the first of our three terms for the year. Each term brings a new group of interns and the launch of our project trips. Just as I attended this time last year, the interns start out…
I love my job
I’ve had a job in my field of study that I hated. I’ve had too many jobs with not enough work or mindless busy work. I’ve had a job that was 24/7 and unbelievably stressful. I’ve had a job that had nothing to do with anything I’ve studied. I’ve had a job where I was intimidated…
