Got Food?

June 23, 2011

As you can imagine, living on a tiny island in the middle of the ocean takes some getting used to. Many simple things that we don’t think twice about having or getting in the States, take much preparation to ensure we have on our island. When we run out of sugar or flour there is […]

June 18, 2011

Hello from Panama! The checking of the Kuna literacy materials has gone very well. The Lord’s timing is so perfect! The Kuna Bible translation team has recently made some significant changes in the spelling of certain words and hyphenation. Since the literacy program’s main focus is to equip people to read the Kuna Bible, we […]

Teaching

June 16, 2011

In our last update a few weeks ago, we mentioned that the kids and I (Jennifer) had all been suffering from coughs, and that the kids had fevers. Shortly after we wrote that e-mail, Tyndale took a quick turn for the worse. His breathing was very rapid and labored, suggesting pneumonia, so we decided we […]

Quick Update and Special Prayer needs!

We planned for this 1st update after our months in the tribe to be full of news and photos from our time interior, and we promise we will get to those eventually! But right now we have some urgent prayer needs and we need you to stand with us in prayer; 1. Caleb had to […]

Well, we’re in Wyoming! And no, we didn’t take a wrong turn. We’re at Rachel’s mom’s house in Wyoming, MI. Our trip was alright, and we’ve made it through all the stuff we’ve had to do so far. Next on the docket is Family Camp! The biggest hiccup in our plans has been Asa’s ear […]

PROJECT:HAUS Update

May 29, 2011

One of the largest one time start up needs for any one in our line of ministry is that of building our house. Because of our remote locations, building a simple, yet functional house in a village is a large undertaking, both financially and logistically. So, where are we at with our housing situation? Hopefully […]

Family, Friends & Goals

May 29, 2011

Wow. We have already been home for a month and a half. For sure, it has flown by! Our last few weeks have been met with an endless supply of encouragement from guests visiting our home, mostly missionaries preparing to leave for the field or fresh off the field on home assignment like Beth & […]

Every Year, the juniors and seniors at NTBI are given the option of taking a 1 credit course on Tribal church planting over spring break. We decided to go for it! On our Wayumi adventure, set on an 100-acre campus in central Pennsylvania, we explored what the Bible teaches about reaching every tribe, tongue, people, and […]

Well, it’s been a long wait, but we’re finally ready to take the next step in our plans to bring the gospel to an unreached people group! We feel that we have solid roots in our home church, and a good chunk of cash in savings. I’ve probably mentioned all this before, but since this […]
