Battle of the Unknown
The unknown. It can be such a scary thing to us as human beings, living the day in, the day out, and not knowing what could come in the next moments. Josh and I have been reflecting a lot lately on what life looks like lived here on earth with a heart built for heaven….
This is the story of…{Video Update 1.0}
At the end of each quarter, our hope is to give some insight into the schools and programs ran as missionary training here at YWAM Montana. These stories are from the very people we cross paths, support, and send out each day from this base, and we would love for you to get just a…
The God Factor
I love my job for a number of reasons. I get to further my knowledge of one of my hobbies, I get to work with amazing people who are like-minded in serving God’s Kingdom, and I get to push the boundaries of technologies used in web development every day. However, none of those things can…
Jumping Off the Dock
Just the beginning. It’s hard to believe we’ve already wrapped up our third week here at YWAM Montana, and are about to dive head first into our fourth week. At first, it felt like jumping off a dock into cold waters with all the new information and faces. But as we have felt welcomed and…
Time Lapse on Discipleship
I recently had the opportunity to spend the better part of a night smack dab in the middle of a wind farm just north of where Cara’s parents live to shoot a short time lapse of the milky way passing by overhead. As my friend and I approached the turbines, the sky grew darker and…
Her Story
There’s so much I could tell you about how incredible our outreach was , and the ways we saw God at work. I want to share just one story of how the theme of discipleship played out, and how God is continuing to revolutionize a small village province called Preah Vihear to, in turn, impact…

Adapted from a team devotional I led while in Cambodia: Day #43. October 23, 2012. Acts 18. For months now we’ve been studying and trying to grasp what it means to be a disciple, and how to live out Christ’s mission. Our ideas and preconceived notions of ‘missionary work’ have been faced with truth…
Outreach from Behind the Lens
It’s hard to believe that outreach phase of our Endurance DTS (Discipleship Training School) is already over. We have hardly begun to process all of it, especially in the midst of finishing EDTS. We are currently regaining normal sleep schedules, and preparing to come home for the holidays before coming back to join the staff at…
Canada, eh?
The mountain of the Lord’s temple will be established as chief among the mountains; it will be raised above the hills, and all nations will stream to it. Many people will come and say, ‘Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob. He will…

‘The Bob,’ as it is called by most Montana locals, was our last wilderness trip during the Endurance DTS lecture phase. It was an incredible six day backpacking trip through the remote wilderness area, during which we covered over 55 miles of trails, going from the east side of the Swan mountains to west, directly…
