Health Concerns

May 3, 2022

Sometimes an apple a day isn’t enough, and this is one of those times. We would appreciate your prayers. Skin and Bones… No, we haven’t gotten skinny (too bad!) But we do have some health concerns involving skin and bones. Donna… A routine annual dermatology exam about three weeks ago found an unusual mole on […]

Lini’s Surgery

January 7, 2022

Success! Lini had her surgery and it was a success and she’s already feeling better and able to walk a bit. Thanks for praying! We learned that she was taken to the better of the two hospitals in the town of Brookes Point. So she’s at the Leoncio private hospital. We’re thankful, because this means […]

Urgent Prayer Request

January 3, 2022

UPDATE ON HOW TO GIVE Hi,Some of you have mentioned having trouble with donating to Lini’s medical expenses. Apparently the scheme I described creates issues with IRS rules. I apologize. The mission is not allowed to have a designation “for Lini,” since she is neither a member of the mission or an official “project” of […]

God Works Long Distance

October 11, 2021

Africa (w/out the Trip) If you’ve been following our recent saga, you know we weren’t able to actually go to Africa as planned. So we can’t call this an Africa Ministry Trip. But Bill was still able to do the ministry part. He pre-recorded his main introductory two-hour session last Sunday, once his cough was […]

When God has Different Plans

September 30, 2021

Thanks to all who prayed. We believe God heard your prayers and answered in an unexpected way. Sick! We were packed and ready. Our Uber to the airport was booked for 3:30 a.m. But Bill had a cough and other chest cold symptoms all through the night. It was worse in the morning. Then it […]

Good to be Negative

September 29, 2021

Here’s a very quick update (you’ll see why it’s quick in a minute.) We’re taking off on a ministry trip to AFRICA tomorrow! This is the first international trip we’ve taken since mid-2019 (Thanks to COVID). It’s Donna’s first trip AT ALL in about 2 years, and her first trip to Africa! We’re thankful to […]

Talk is not Cheap

March 7, 2021

Talking is Important. Missionaries need to talk… fluently! They have an important message to communicate. And it takes years of hard work to gain that fluency. That’s why Bill and his team are developing the updated Engage culture/language acquisition (CLA) how-to materials, and the Stages CLA app. We want to make the task easier by […]

The Gospel Goes Viral

October 10, 2020

Busier Than Ever October finds us grateful to be well and safe during the pandemic. We pray you are, too! COVID-19 has changed many things in our lives recently, but it has not stopped our ministry of reaching the Unreached. In fact, ministry-wise, we are busier than ever. Here’s a quick update on what is […]

A Matter of Life and Death

April 9, 2020

The Virus that Shook the World COVID-19. The whole world is talking about it. Everyone is concerned. Everyone’s routines and lives are being disrupted. People are dying. We pray that each of you is safe and healthy whether you are sheltering at home, or heading out to work or shop. The Morning that Changed Everything […]

Here and There

March 13, 2019

Where’s the best place to learn culture and language? Answer: in a cultural community where that language is spoken. But not all communities (or teachers, or schools…) are equal. On our trip to Asia in September, we checked out a language school where our people might learn national language and culture. Bill was asked to […]
