Abar and Liberty’s two little ones did well during the first few days of transition. Happy moment… Another mementoes thing happened during their first weekend in a new location: Little Elsia gave her first steps right into Francois’s arms! Their son, Nelson, is a shy but intelligent boy. He loves his dad! The Mwinika people […]

During this last week, another Literacy class started in our village. (Yes, gearing down for more torque, we are hardly touching the ground at the pace the Lord is working here!). Although the class is presented here in our village, the students includes people from at least three other villages. Rasu is the teacher of […]

It is going very well with Abar and his family in Alana’s village! The Literacy classes that started at the end of June are going full steam ahead! The students are even prepared to come in some Saturdays to see to it that they finish this course as soon and as well as possible: they […]

We have been absolutely thrilled to be part of the first outreach of the very new Mwinika church to another people group! During this last weekend, Abar, Liberty and their two young children, moved into Alana’s village which is predominantly Marevone (a people group who’s language is very close to eMwinika) to start with the […]

Abar and Liberty, a young Mwinika couple, got to know the Gospel for the first time in 2011 when Phil and Francois taught through the Bible from Genesis to Revelation for the first time in the Mwinika people group.

The Lord truly is our provider! Just last week we were out of many of the essential materials we need to continue with the Literacy teaching starting in June. We were also running alarmingly low on food… (Because of the huge expense of our work and residence permits (for Nadia and Franco) in April, we […]

The Lord’s timing is always 100%! Our partners in the Mwinika work, Phil and Elin Henderson are returning, God willing, in July after a two year stretch away. Their daughter needed therapy for a learning problem and they were advised to stay in the States for the duration of this time. Callie has worked very […]

In June a Mwinika teacher that I have trained last year, will start his own Literacy class! He is from the few Mwinika that are Roman Catholic, but a believer. He will be teaching at his church. In July Rasu will start with another Literacy class, but this time at the local “Christian” middle-eastern religion […]

The first Mwinika missionary… To back track a little: the […]
