It is Sunday afternoon as I write this update. We’re missed our radio date on Friday so there is no Amdu podcast this week, so sorry about that! But we wanted to share a few snippets from life here to keep your hearts fired for Gospel Day in Amdu. One testimony from last Sunday was […]

Thank you to all of you who are praying faithfully for us here in Amdu. You are playing an indispensable role in the disciple making that is happening. As you pray the Lord is guiding us in wisdom. On Sunday God guided Benjamin into a conversation about the Cain and Abel story we were planning […]

We’ve had some great conversations this week and shared some of those stories on our podcast this past Friday. Check out this link villagebible.church/amdu to hear more of the details there. It’s ironic that on this Mother’s Day weekend we are preparing to teach the lessons about the fallout of our mother, Eve’s, fateful decision […]

Another week has begun for us here in Amdu. Yesterday both Bart and I were out meeting with people in two different hamlets each about 20 minutes’ walk from our main village. Interestingly, some of the people with the strongest appetite for God’s word have been coming faithfully from these two locations each day of […]

Thank you for continuing to pray for us here in Amdu and for the Amdu people as we walk them through His story. The past week we got into some tough concepts but are happy with how well everyone seemed to understand them. We told the story of God creating Adam in God’s own image […]

For all of you praying for us and the Amdu people we want to say thank you. We spent the early part of last week in the lesson about Moses and the burning bush. Reading the story from Exodus chapter three in the Amdu language was a treat for everyone. They enjoyed hearing the story […]

Last week on Monday morning we began the much awaited Bible teaching program. Instead of meeting with the whole village we met with three separate extended family lines in order to comply with the wisdom of PNG’s national leaders. The first extended family line class was well attended by the core families on that list, […]

We want to alert all of you who are praying for us and the Amdu people that more developments have affected the start of our foundational Bible teaching. We intended to gather on Tuesday and begin our teaching program but this morning we were alerted to the fact that a ban has been put on […]

Thank you for praying for us since we wrote a week ago. We flew back into the village on Monday and were warmly greeted by our friends here. After sweeping up the dirt and grime, and the graveyard of critters that visited the Roach Motel while we were gone, we had a good night’s sleep […]

“Then Jesus took them through the writings of Moses and all the prophets, explaining from all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.” Luke 24:27 This is one of my favorite stories in the life of Christ. If you haven’t read this story recently take a few minutes to read it again. The things that transpired […]
