SO every night since you brought him home there has been a prayertime at his house!!!. There have been a few things happen in the last several weeks but Tuk&#8217;s was the clincher&#8230;Now the church is planning a &#8220;Thanks-Giving &#8221; meal, something they haven&#8217;t done for years!!!.

It has been extremely taxing on us both physically and financially to drive supplies and people instead of flying. It is taking days to accomplish what I would normally have accomplished by 9am. God is working through it all and while we make our plans to be efficient, sometimes God likes to take the long way around. Pray that we will have strength to continue down this tiring road until we get the plane back in the air. Also pray that God would continue to get the glory among the Manubo and other tribes as we conduct our ministry from a much lower altitude.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After Tukid returned to his home in the mountains after a very traumatic kidney stone passing, he has been a key player in encouraging the Manubo church.
