Travels, Past and Future

April 27, 2017

Stepping into the boat to cross the muddy jungle river felt in some ways like stepping back in time to when we lived in a village not too far from the one I was about to visit. Last week the Lord gave me (Jennifer) the opportunity to travel back to our former island and help […]

Needs Met, and Needs to Pray About

March 30, 2017

At the beginning of this month, we gave stage 2 evaluations to a family and a single lady who have been here studying for a year now. They all made great progress, and now they are moving on to a different island to finish their national language and culture studies and then join a ministry. […]

A Week in the Life

Marathon at Sprint Speeds

August 9, 2016

We hope that all of you in the northern hemisphere have had a great “summer vacation.” We know that for many of you this time of year is just as busy with work and responsibilities as any other time of the year. For us the last couple months (and especially the last few weeks) have […]
