A Missing Idol

October 28, 2016

by Rachel Chapman As we were getting ready to leave Las Moras this last time, I took time to talk with my Nahuatl friends directly about the Scripture portions that we had been translating. One of the last times with Queen, I asked her what she was believing. She said, “I believe what we’ve […]

What is blowing in the wind? The answer, my friend, is the subject of this week’s update.

October 24, 2016

Update for the Fourth Week of October 2016 It was on a Wednesday that the wind began to blow. It was a category 5 typhoon named Lawin, and it blew all night. It is hard to describe to those who haven’t experienced typhoons, so I’ll just say it is not the kind of storm that […]

Summer is over, back to school and more ahead

Thirty three years!

August 30, 2016

MEMORY LANE: Thirty-three years ago this week we moved into the Higaunon village that we’ve called “home” in the Philippines. We joined our coworkers, Ron and Michelle Jennings, in the work where they had been for two years.The gospel had just been presented a few months before we moved there.

Fathers Would You Consent

August 27, 2016

Over the years I have had fathers and mothers a bit upset when I talk to their children about giving their life to the mission call. I had one young lady say this to me on a plane headed back to the States after a mission trip. “Jack, please pray for me, I am going […]
