  • The Preparations Continue

    My co-worker (who is also named Jason) and his wife just had their baby this morning. We’ve been comparing notes now and then over the last few months, since their due date was only a month before ours. So, the fact that their baby has arrived (although 2 and a half weeks early) has really…

  • Fall Update on work with Power to Change

    We’ve been back from Africa for about 3 1/2 months now, and I (Jason) have gotten fully back into my work in the IT department at Power to Change. I try to send out an update about what’s going on in the ministry and how I’m involved with it (along with some personal updates) every…

  • Painting in our New House

    We spent most of the day today painting our living room. Shannon’s friend Andrea is out visiting us for a few days, so we got her involved too. The main living/dining room was a cold blue and terrible mint green that made us think of the dentist, so we’ve re-painted it with a grey and…

  • Our New House

    On Aug 29th, Shannon and I moved into the first place we’ve ever owned. It’s a townhouse in Walnut Grove, a nice little community at the north end of Langley, BC. We’re really excited to finally be homeowners (other than the big mortgage part), and to be settled in one place for a while. For…

  • We’re Expecting!!

    We are excited to announce that Shannon is expecting! Thanks be to God for how amazingly He has blessed us. We first found out that Shannon was pregnant while we were traveling through Europe on our way back from Africa. That gave us the opportunity to announce the news to my (Jason’s) family in Ontario…

  • Travelling in Europe

    Thank you to those of you who are continuing to keep us in your prayers and check up on how we are doing! After our time in Burkina Faso finished on April 26th, Shannon and I flew to Rome to travel through Europe for a few weeks before heading back to Canada. It didn’t cost…

  • Final Week in Burkina Faso

    Wow, how quickly this time has gone! Shannon and I are now in our final week here in Burkina Faso. The last couple of weeks have been busy wrapping up, so I thought I’d post a quick overview. On Friday, April 10th, the Center for the Advancement of the Handicapped (where I work full time…

  • Visiting the Pastor’s Field

    “I’ll pick you up between 6 and 6:30 am”. I (Jason) had just been talking with our local Pastor about wanting to go see his field, where he grows staple crops of rice and millet in the rainy season. He was happy to give me a little tour, and said we should go before the…
