Deep and Wide

Deep and Wide

September 19, 2019

A flooded river stood between them and home. The heavy rains coupled with the narrow river bed had made the water rise much higher and run much faster than usual. It wasn’t safe for them to cross. Chris went first. He fought for balance with every step; the current struggled to pull him off his […]

It has begun.

It has begun.

September 9, 2019

Take a nice leisurely 20 minute hike back our ridge, then slip, slide, and fall down the mud-slick mountain for the next hour, cross a creek that could be ankle deep or thigh deep, depending on the amount of rain in the past 24 hours, then trudge straight up another mountain for an hour an […]

Help the Heli

Help the Heli

August 30, 2019

Many of the locations we work in are very remote, hard to get to, and near unreachable—there aren’t roads to drive or rivers to canoe, the ocean waters aren’t smooth, and the jungle cannot be tamed.  Helicopters not only enable us to get our missionaries and their families into these locations, they also shorten the […]

The Struggle

The Struggle

August 20, 2019

How do we react when a new idea challenges what we know? We hold very tightly to the knowledge and ideas we grabbed a hold of at a very young age and have carried with us through our whole lives. We have to say “Please,” and “Thank you.” That’s just the right thing to do. […]

Food, Fear, and Faith

Food, Fear, and Faith

March 29, 2019

In case you were wondering, a landslide sounds like thunder; it starts out as a distant rumble that builds and builds and then slowly fades away. The difference is that a landslide leaves behind more than an echo. Up here in the mountains, water flows through almost every valley, and there are a lot of […]

An awesome sad Sunday

An awesome sad Sunday

March 19, 2019

There has been so much going on in our neck of the woods in the past few weeks that we thought it was time to show you what we’ve been up to. First of all, when we flew back to the tribe in February, Jason and Tami Hughes and their three kids came with us! […]

Tanguat Trip

Tanguat Trip

February 8, 2019

A couple weeks ago I took my first trip ever as a CLA consultant in training. I spent a couple days with the Swensons and Chens among the Tanguat people group of Papua New Guinea.

Phase 1 ends with a bang

Phase 1 ends with a bang

November 21, 2018

A few weeks ago we finished up teaching Phase 1 (Creation to Christ) in our local outreach. When I say “we”, I really mean 20 Pal men who handled all the teaching in this outreach. Anyways, we ended Phase 1 by talking about end times – when Christ will come back, judge the world, and […]
