Light

September 26, 2015

As we presented missions to a group of kids at a VBS recently we got confronted with an interesting question from one of the kids: “How can the tribal people not know about God?” Good question! They are descendants of Adam and Eve and of Noah. Somewhere, somehow lies started replacing truth. The light goes […]

Bridges and Barriers

The Nine

Dear praying friends, We hope you’ll be encouraged reading about God’s working in two tribal groups and a little personal update.
