Mr. Jones

“We were dancing!!”
Our pilot flew a long, slow loop above the village we have called our second home away from home. We weren’t sure what condition the grass landing strip might be in so we all peered down to investigate. We could see so much more than just the landing strip from our bird’s eye view. We […]
Heavy Legs
Amdu friends of ours left the village one day on a long journey only to return later the same afternoon despite their intentions to be gone for two weeks. They said their legs got heavy and so they came home. In the Amdu universe when a person goes on a journey and their legs get […]
Diamonds In The Rough
An important principle in disciple making is to find the hungry hearts and feed them (2 Timothy 2:2.)

The Lord has enabled our team to take significant last steps to finish the first phase of our ministry that we refer to as Culture and Language Acquisition. In […]
My village granny and God’s Word
Early morning mist is rising from the earth after a cool night. The Mwinika “winter” is on us, and despite the temperature never lowering even close to freezing, fevers, colds, runny noses, and coughing are rampant in our village.
