This is Nate and Elizabeth Claasen (Claw-sane) and their three boys: Noah, Tim, and Elias. We met them three weeks ago and now they are our partners in ministry. Woohoo!
They are an energetic bunch and their love for God and their desire for people to know Him really stood out to us. They’ve been in the Pal tribe for about one year and are currently in the midst of learning the language and culture.
This is Mason and Kim Lockwood and their four boys: Ian, Andrew, Isaac, and Brayden. We met them three months ago and now they too are our partners in ministry. Super duper!
The Lockwoods’ God-glorifying attitude and constant seeking after Him drew us to them.
The Lockwoods have also spent about a year in Pal but they are currently back home in the U.S. for medical reasons. Both Mason and Kim have some serious medical issues right now and would appreciate your prayers.
It is the Lockwoods’ house that we’ll be moving into in the Pal tribe. Because they have graciously opened their house to us while they are away it drastically speeds up the process of us moving into Pal. We are in the process of creating a house plan so that when the Lockwoods are able to return we’ll be ready to build our house quickly and continue on with the work. When we have the exact dates for our move-in, we’ll let you know. Thanks for praying with us as we spend the next few weeks getting things ready to go!
