In 2020, by God’s grace, we were able to share the gospel to the Wantakia people in their heart language! They got to hear the good news for the very first time. And praise God many have put their faith in Christ, have come into his family and have begun following Him. Literacy classes also […]
Happy new year!
AUTHOR: JILL This is mine and BJ’s 10th New Year to celebrate together! 2015 has been one of the most exciting, hardest, scary, thrilling, faith-building, uncomfortable, and special year so far!
