Darryl -Becky-Jordan-June-2017

In 2017, the Lord prepared our hearts for a change of ministry and a change of location from Mindanao to Northern Palawan in the Philippines.

Since February 2018, we have been living and ministering with the Agutaynen people in a somewhat remote small fishing village.  We serve with our family, Stephen and Ginger Jordan and their children Abi, Luke, and Jonathan.

Stephen and Ginger’s family have been in the village since 2003.  The first few years, they studied the Agutaynen language and culture.  In June 2009, they, along with Manfred and Nadine Zimmermann’s family began teaching the Bible to the Agutaynens in their own language.

Many have put their faith in Jesus alone for their salvation.  Now the ministry continues to center  on church planting, discipleship,  and evangelistic outreach in the village to neighbors for the Glory of God.

 Missionary Journey of Faith from 1997-2017

After living in the jungle of Papua New Guinea from 1997 to 2008, we were asked to consider moving to the Philippines where we became NTM Guest House managers in Palawan because of our “maturity” and “practical experiences of living in a remote tribal village”. It was thought by the NTM Leadership that we would be able to relate to the needs of the missionaries since we had “been there” in their similar situations.

We lived here from 1997 to 2008.

Then, we moved from the jungle of Papua New Guinea to the city of  Palawan to serve at NTM Guest Home in January 2008. We were Supply Buyers for the missionaries and Guest Home Managers.  Darryl was in charge of the grounds, buildings, and vehicle maintenance.  We were, also, involved as with Jacana Road Baptist Church.

In November 2015, we became Guest House Managers of the New Tribes Mission Guest Home on the Island of Mindanao.  It has been a blessing to serve  the 18 families on the Island who either live in the remote bush places by providing the missionaries with a comfortable place to stay when they come to town.  It has, also, been a blessing to work side by side with  our pilots and their families who do live in town by helping with the plane fuel purchases and providing a place for   prayer meetings and fellowship with the missionaries who do stay at the NTM Guest House enabling us all to get to know our missionaries better.

Darryl spends most of his days with building and grounds’ maintenance chores. He supervises Delfin, our grounds maintenance Filipino worker. With 5 buildings that 7 guest rooms with bathrooms, 2 kitchens, a large living/dining area, a workshop, a storage building, a packing building for missionary’s and pilots’ use, a laundry building and a large lawn area, Darryl is kept busy shopping for repair items in a town that has limited supply hardware items.  He, also, maintains the 2 vehicles that the missionaries “rent” by mileage when they come to the Guest House.
