One of the most significant things I have learned through moving to Panama has been the deep need we have for other people. The desire and necessity to have people who are a part of our lives. Who know us, who love us, who do life with us. I knew moving would bring a lot [...]
I worked at Cairn University for 6 years. Working there had a big impact on my life. I had the privileged to work alongside of and for many people I respect greatly, especially my first boss, who only ended up being my boss for ten months. I remember interviewing with Lisa. I knew going into [...]
Between our blog and monthly newsletter we hope you have stayed in the loop as we transitioned to Panama. Hard to believe we have been here for 90 days. Before we moved we really debated whether bringing Decker was the right option, but God provided in so many details even providing a lady from LifeBridge [...]
Before we moved to Panama life was busy. I had a full-time job, helped out with the youth ministry and juggled many activities and responsibilities. I wore my busyness like a badge of honor and loved the fact that I could accomplish so much in one day. I was efficient and got it done. Fast [...]

We are leaving feeling grateful for this opportunity with much to look forward to. Serving at a young, growing church. We were [...]
This week concluded my time at Cairn University, where I worked in the marketing department for over 5 years. I am grateful that I find it hard to leave my job. If it was easy, I would question the impact that it had on my life. While I worked at Cairn one of the biggest [...]
Last week, I (Jendi) had the opportunity to travel to South Africa with the Cairn University Urban Ministry students. It is always an incredible experience to travel and see new places, but traveling with this group challenged me and made me see life in a beautiful way. You see, the students in this program aren’t [...]
It was a year ago this week that our life was flipped upside down and we didn’t even know it yet. BIG changes were just on the horizon.
