So as not to bury the lead, we will start with the exciting news... we are incredibly excited to share that we are expecting another child in February!
It was a surprise to us, to say the least. But it continues to feel like God showing off his kindness to us. We knew we wanted to have another little one, but just after our return from our Hungary visit in

Summer 2025- Hot and Busy
It's been an encouraging summer for us with meaningful opportunities to invest in both current and future missions work.
Internship Program
Amanda had the opportunity to run the OMS internship program this summer, and it continued to be a highlight, with rich opportunities for discipleship and learning. We both had the privilege of leading weekly Bible study sessions with our interns, focusing particularly on the concept of Sabbath

Back in Budapest (reflections on our recent trip)
Written by: Amanda Buck
Finally, the review of our trip to Hungary! First off, God's goodness was evident everywhere: in travel, visiting with friends, sharing meals, and experiencing His faithfulness in unexpected ways.
First and foremost, because it’s us; the food was incredible! We enjoyed traditional Hungarian dishes and were delighted by Hungarian versions of foods we love from home (burritos, pizza, burgers).
One unexpected joy happened

One Step at a Time...
Written by: Amanda
I don't think it will come as a surprise to any of you that I'm a planner. I LOVE a good list, clear instructions, and straight path forward.
So when I started at US headquarters for OMS and took over the summer internship program that has been running for years I was excited. You see, thanks to those that were in charge before

Walking the Path of Discipleship
In another blast from the past, this article from our time in Hungary describes how we engaged in disciple-making through the use of Banding Together. While Amanda and I are not in Hungary anymore we still believe in the mission of disciple-making and the 8 approaches laid out in the article.

Missionary Pedestals
Amanda focuses this blog post on the danger of pedestals and how everyone is called into ministry not just those that are called cross-culturally.
We felt like it was worth re-sharing as we think about what we are ALL called to right here and now.

Musings on Music and the Kingdom
I've always loved music. The awkward photo above is a testament to my official title of "band geek" in high school. Back then it felt like my whole life was music (and to be fair, with 9am-9pm practices, it kind of was). Even outside of band I would spend most of my free time listening to music and making cheesy mixed CDs for my friends and

Grieving "home"
We have admitted many times over the past 2 years that we have not done a great job of sharing our story with you, or why we returned to the United States from Hungary. And I think as we approach the 2 year mark in February I'm finally able to explain and admit that a large part of that is because we were/are grieving.
We have finally

OMS and reaching the Unreached
Chris Williams, our Executive Director, passionately shares how One Mission Society (OMS) is actively engaging with unreached people groups across the globe. This brief segment offers a glimpse into the inspiring talk he delivered this summer, which draws heavily from the foundational work I, Daniel, conducted last spring. Although not explicitly mentioned, if you take a closer look at the engagement strategies discussed around the 2:20 mark, you'
