International Warfare

Well, I’m sure most of you are aware, PJM (from old picture of the day), is my dad. He likes to tell funny stories and play mean jokes on people. This one tops them all. It all started a few weeks ago when we had a little fight on Facebook. I accidentally made a public announcement that PJM would be… (more…)

Chewy

I think it is time to introduce you to one of Mattaw’s most beloved friends, Chewy. Peter finally captured a picture of our speedy friend. In Kenya it is pretty customary for children to abuse dogs, so Chewy’s job is to teach them how to respect animals and play nicely. She is a very smart girl. She is even potty… (more…)

We are blessed to have such a wonderful home to welcome them into. If anyone is interested in coming with their church to visit us here at Mattaw, you can schedule… (more…)

Nursing, African Style

Up to this point, I have spent a lot of my time showing pictures of the kids and writing about the ministry I am working with, but I haven’t  addressed my place in the ministry. No matter how interesting, I guess no one really feels like blogging about their job after they get home! But, I will start doing this once a week. As… (more…)
