A sad day at RVA

Thursday, Sept. 23 was a day that no one expected. A staff member on home assignment went to be with the Lord after suffering a brain aneurysm five days earlier. It was a huge shock and it has affected many of the staff and students. He left behind his wife and eight children. We justContinue reading “A sad day at RVA”

Volleyballs, crazy bees, and New Hope

Todd, Cassidy, and Titus were just involved in our school outreach day the weekend of Sept. 10 and we sure did have a lot of different experiences. Todd took a group of students to a local IDP (internally displaced people) camp that has been in place since the 2007 election violence that ended with thousands of people fleeingContinue reading “Volleyballs, crazy bees, and New Hope”

Kenyan Arrival!

Wow, we made it. After a tearful goodbye, we left Calgary International airport at 9:30 pm on Aug. 12 and, after traveling for close to 40 hours we safely arrived at Jomo Kenyatta airport in Nairobi at 9 pm, Aug. 15. We had a long layover in London which we have blogged about in a separate post. Continue reading “Kenyan Arrival!”

Harmondsworth Hall

Unlike most of our flights in the past we had a long layover this time in London. Twenty two hours to be exact. After learning that we would be there that long we got to thinking about all of the things that we could do. Then the riots happened and we thought that it would beContinue reading “Harmondsworth Hall”

God is Good, plus ten thoughts

God is good, all the time. Reflecting on the past few months we realize that God knew exactly what we needed in order to be refreshed, rejuvenated, and ready to go back to RVA. What a huge task it is and we could not do it by ourselves. Here are some thoughts as we finishContinue reading “God is Good, plus ten thoughts”

Cleared for take-off

We are so excited to let you know that the tickets have been purchased for us to depart back for Kenya August 12th from Calgary, AB. We definitely have been anticipating this date for the last few weeks. However, we are not yet fully supported to the amount that we will be needing in aContinue reading “Cleared for take-off”

Where are the Dubbers?

It is a little like being in the book Where’s Waldo! Since school ended for the kids, we are finding ourselves in so many different places. After four years, it was a lot of fun to head into southern BC again. Driving through the Rocky Mountains was again breathtaking and it was fun to be inContinue reading “Where are the Dubbers?”

Welcome Rick!

Well it is official. We have welcomed a new son and brother into the family. Todd’s little sister Jennine was married on July 2. After traveling from Stettler we arrived to meet her fiance Rick at their home for a few hours before the wedding and had a chance to see their new house andContinue reading “Welcome Rick!”

Leap of Faith

During our trip to Vancouver we have made it a priority to visit many of the Olympic venues that were built for the 2010 Winter Olympics. It has been great to be able to go and see where Olympians competed in many different sports. To be there and imagine what it would take to trainContinue reading “Leap of Faith”

Whispering Pines Ladies Retreat 2011

This past weekend (June 10-12) I (Kylie) spoke at a ladies retreat at Whispering Pines Bible Camp. I have been preparing for several months and was thrilled to have had such a wonderful time. It was great to meet all of the ladies there and to hear their stories. Their testimonies of God’s faithfulness thoughoutContinue reading “Whispering Pines Ladies Retreat 2011”
