Spring Break At The O.K. (Ogg Kid) Corral<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Esther and Simon have come home for Spring Break and here is a picture of us all together that was just taken today. We look forward to some family time.

Airstrip Open Again!<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Notice the airplane in the picture! – After about 4 months with our airstrip closed it has now been reopened. Last time we wrote a team from Grace Baptist Church in California was here working on it. Despite some bad weather the majority of the work was completed and the airstrip was reopened the day they left. David continued working on it part time to finish the sections that needed the most attention. We are so grateful for the help provided to get our airstrip reopened quickly because the helicopter was proving to be quite a financial strain. There are still parts of the airstrip that need work but the critical work of building up a crown down the middle has been completed. Thanks for praying.<\/p>\n

Preliminary Draft Of Acts<\/strong><\/h3>\n

While the airstrip work team was here David was able to finish up some other projects and also complete about 25% of the preliminary draft on the book of Acts. During the last 2 weeks while working on the airstrip with the Simbaris in the mornings, he has continued working afternoons and evenings on translation and is up to over 40% complete with the draft. Now that the bulk of the airstrip work is done he is back to full time translation.<\/p>\n

Staffing Shortages – Again<\/strong><\/h3>\n

After 6 years of dorm parenting Esther and Simon’s dorm parents will be stepping out of that ministry to be able to give their young children some more attention that they are needing. And so far there is no one available to take their place. That leaves us wondering what will be happening for Esther and Simon’s schooling next year. We sure hope they can stay out there at the school because we are not very well equipped to be teaching them at these higher grades. Please pray for God to raise up more laborers for these and other pressing needs. Thanks.<\/p>\n

By His Grace,<\/strong><\/p>\n
