Teach the World Anew

Cross-cultural teaching

We work to better the world through education and teaching, by partnering with committed organizations that work internationally and collaboratively to provide help, hope and healing to people around the world.

About our teaching

Springs in the desert

As strangers living in countries that aren’t our passport home, and then returning periodically to homes changed beyond recognition, part of our joy is to delight in the land the Lord has placed us, to learn about it and share those discoveries with others. A few stories and examples stand out as highlights in our years of service. Read some of them here.

Where we’ve lived

We’ve got the influence of many countries running in our blood, including Haiti, Guatemala, Costa Rica, the USA, Indonesia, and Papua New Guinea. It has been a long journey to where we’re at now, and we’re still on it.

ABOUT US

Brendan and Emely

We recently moved back to Idaho from our previous homes in Haiti and Indonesia as teachers with Mission Aviation Fellowship (MAF). Stateside we live on the ancestral lands of the Shoshone, Bannock, and Paiute in the Treasure Valley of Idaho, and have family history from Haiti, Costa Rica, Indonesia, Guatemala, and Papua New Guinea.

Who we work with

The organizations we’ve served with have been working collaboratively in the countries we lived in for several decades. Mission Aviation Fellowship has been in Haiti for over 40 years, and in Indonesia for over 50. It’s important to us to serve with organizations that work alongside others and are in it for the long haul.

Where we’re at

Much of our life we’ve found ourselves “on the move,” somewhere between just settling in and preparing to move on. Wherever we are, we live and work in order to see the country and its people transformed by the love of Christ, which we know to already be at work in so many ways.

News and interests

Over time we’ve gotten involved in diverse and seemingly unrelated projects, or adopted interests that where we see God at work in unique ways. Our weblog updates share what we’ve been experiencing and what’s on our minds of late:
