First of all, I'm ok now. 🙂 I've been taking the Kopp kids advice and getting well soon... Saturday Chris and I hiked a nearby mountain with a group of friends. Yesterday I stayed home from church with some tummy issues - not muscle issues as I would have expected from hiking! I couldn't pinpoint …
Malawi Needs Highlight: Faithful Translations (Plus a Personal Timeline Update)
Now these were more noble-minded than those in Thessalonica, who received the word with goodwill, every day examining the Scriptures if these things may be so. Acts 17:11 This verse compares the Jews in Berea with the Jews of Thessalonica, both of whom Paul spoke the message of the Messiah suffering, dying, and rising from …

Merry Christmas from Malawi
Merry Christmas from Malawi! It has felt like a very different Christmas this year. Last year, we celebrated Christmas away from family as we are this year, but this year it feels very different. We are into the rainy season/summer here in Malawi. The maize crops were planted a few weeks ago and with all …
Trip to Green Pastures and Still Waters
Chris' birthday was a few weeks ago. I love buying gifts but without malls, Amazon and easy ways to take things home in a few months, a regular gift didn't seem like the best idea. And after all, Chris isn't really a "gift" guy and would prefer an experience to a new "thing" (unless, …
Lake Adventure Day!
We (by “we” I mean Chris and all the professors at CAPA) are gearing up for Module 3 that starts next Tuesday. It’s been a very busy few months for everyone here and the Kopp’s decided to take a “day off” and go to the lake (Lake Malawi) to celebrate Malawian Mother’s Day that happened …

9 And He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.” Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me. 10 Therefore I am well content with weaknesses, with insults, with distresses, with persecutions, with difficulties, …
Hebrew Intensive Week & Life in Malawi
Thank you for praying for us this week! Chris worked long hours to prepare for class each day this week and finished well! I (Ashley) got to sit in on class for a few hours and was encouraged to hear the men say things like “The dust is shaking off!” (from their last Hebrew class …
Updated Prayer Requests!
Life in Malawi is very different from what we were used to and even, I think, what we expected. It's hard, sweet, good and sometimes overwhelming. But we love it. More than ever, we need prayer! Please see our Prayer Requests page for how to pray for us specifically. I'll give a few here that …
Flexibility and Weakness
It’s hard to believe we’ve been in Malawi almost a month! We feel as though we’re basically settled though we are learning new things every day. That’s part of the challenge of being here. There’s always some new challenge to overcome. Always unexpected things that come up. Everything takes longer than you expect. You never …
Our First Week in Malawi!
Hello again from Malawi, Africa! I am writing this from the couch in our apartment. Our counter-parts, Sam & Amanda left earlier this week so we have officially taken over their car, home and some responsibilities at CAPA. It was wonderful to be able to have a week for Chris to get the official DL …
