Jetina’s Baby

May 13, 2013

After waiting for five years and praying for a child, God has graciously blessed Pita and Jetina with a new little boy. It has not been easy for this young couple to wait patiently on the Lord, and at times it has really tried their faith. We’re so thankful that Peter did not cave in […]

The NCA Experience

Stretching…and finding God sufficient

April 13, 2013

The Simbari church continues studying the book of 1st Corinthians. Many of the Simbari Bible teachers are still out in town which has given David more teaching opportunities than usual. An unexpected benefit of being short on teachers is how it has encouraged two previously uninvolved men to begin attending leadership development meetings with David. […]

Happy Easter from Simbari! Here is a little video clip of a Simbari mother, Rindilav, asking her child about the Cross.

“…without LOVE I am nothing…”

From Tribe To Town

October 12, 2012

The Simbari people say that there are now more of them living in the towns than out in the tribe. I’m not sure if that is the case or not but we’ve certainly seen more and more leaving to live in the towns. The economic growth in the country is centered around the towns typically […]
