Selamat Sore! That’s how we say good afternoon here. It’s a rainy one over here on the Equator. Normally we’re well into months of dry season but instead we’re getting TONS of rain and different areas in the village are flooding. It’s a very strange weather year. Does the above title ring a bell for you? The popular […]
This week, a Piapoco elder, Ramiro, from upriver, who had gone through the discipleship program, happened to show up. The Health people brought him here to get his eyes examined. So we offered a room for Ramiro and to join in on some of the ministries here. He is very keen on starting the children’s […]

I bet this won’t surprise you: my house in the village isn’t done, but there’s progress. And in case some of you are interested in seeing more pictures of a partially-completed house in the middle of nowhere in Burkina Faso, here you go.
