Imagine you are a family of five who are called to serve in Middle-of-Nowherestan. You are leading a team of translators to complete the New Testament in Nowherestanian. After a year of living there, your seven year old is struggling. He has trouble communicating, is falling behind in school, and has few friends.

Life continues to be filled with lots of learning opportunities and fun projects. Philip has both participated in and led various trainings. One exciting area of training was welding. He sat with one of JAARS lead welders who taught him on a variety of metals, machines, and techniques.

The beginning of the year has come and gone, taking along for the ride. We blinked and January was over. January has been a classroom month for Philip and a dynamic shifting month for the Mull family.

“Philip, what’s that smell?”

“Sorry, it's probably me.” 

“It does smell like gas but not that kind…is the propane stove hissing?” 

Everyone out of the fifth wheel!

Hello friends and family! October was a very busy month for the Mulls. We were able to spend time with several friends and family members, including Philip’s parents for several days after Hurricane Milton did a number on Florida. We are thankful for the safety of our loved ones and for the unexpected quality time with them.

One month ago we put the last of our belongings in the fifth wheel and drove north.

Hello everyone! After an August full of goodbyes and last-minute details, we have officially moved to North Carolina. We are overwhelmed by the abundant gifts of God, from sweet time with friends and family to cool weather upon arrival to traveling mercies, sufficient storage space, and fireflies in the evenings!

We are very excited to announce to you all that, through the provision of our God and the participation of his people, we have 100% of our ministry budget met and are fully able to start our JAARS assignment!!!

The reason we will be moving to JAARS in Waxhaw, NC in September is to attend JAARS Assisted Take-Off, otherwise known as the JATO program.

Happy summer everyone! We have some exciting updates to share. Through a series of God-orchestrated events, Philip has been given the opportunity–if our Wycliffe budget is met– to begin his training at JAARS this September with a number of other pilots and mechanics serving with JAARS.

Hello everyone! Is it really June? The month of May has simultaneously flown and inched by for the Mulls. We have had a relatively quiet month adjusting to life as a family of three.

Hello friends! We have now been Wycliffe missionaries for an entire year! The faithfulness of God and the partnership of so many people over the last year have been an incredible experience, and we are humbled to be in this season. Last month we became a family of three!

Greetings, all! Happy Easter! We forgot to take family Easter pictures, but we enjoyed celebrating the greatest day in history with Anna’s family in Ocala. We have so much to be thankful for. Over the last month our families welcomed two new babies, one on Philip’s side and one on Anna’s, so our son will have built-in friends when he is born.

Happy March, friends! February was such a gift to us. We spent our Valentine’s Day eating Chick-Fil-A chicken nuggets and researching the Lenten season which began on the 14th. We decided to begin a family prayer book to record both our prayers and His answers to them. We are writing down requests and intercessions that we go over every morning, and these times of prayer have been so sweet and edifying.

We have finished our first month in Ocala and things have been busy! God has been good to us. We have connected and reconnected with several pastors and friends in the area, started volunteering with the youth group of one of our partner churches, and are helping to start a young married couples group with another church in the area.

Philip and Anna are starting off the year in a new location.

Merry Christmas everyone! Anna and I are both so loving the cooler Florida weather, Christmas lights, hot cocoa, and the time with family that happens this time of year.

We are excited to launch Philip’s book this month.

Greetings! Fall has come upon us, and the year is rushing by. September was a whirlwind for the Mull family.

Greetings! It’s hard to believe summer is already at an end and we have arrived at the second half of 2023.
