The forecast is for a super typhoon to hit our island on Friday morning (Thursday night U.S. time). It is said to be stronger than the one that tore off our roof and solar panels in December. We are in the city buying supplies so won’t be at our house in the Manubu’ village to […]

Piduy has returned from his trip to help Mahan by starting to translate the evangelical Bible lessons into the language of the people Mahan hopes to teach. Piduy had visited there a few weeks ago, and made friends with a man, Maykil, who said that he would like to listen to the teaching and would […]

It is always a delight when we hear of a Manubu’ outreach with God’s Word that is progressing well. A few days ago some Manubu’ believers from our village and other villages gathered together at a Manubu’ village we’ll call Mahay about six hours from us to discuss further outreach with the good news and […]

Piduy will be going this coming week to the other province where Mahan is and helping Mahan to begin translating the first lessons of our Manubu’ chronological evangelical lesson series. We’ve heard that Mahan has been making good progress in learning the language there. Please PRAY for safety as Piduy travels by motorcycle, for wisdom, […]

Please be PRAYING for Piduy and Mutsu. They will be leaving this weekend to drive the Bible teacher motorcycle nearly 200 miles to where Mahan and Arcisa are living and planning to evangelize. Because of road conditions and the motorcycle being only 4 speed, it will probably take them up to 16 hours to make […]

We’ve heard that Mahan has gotten a job as a security guard. We don’t have any details as to whom or what he is guarding, just that it is at night. He says that is good because that gives him some time during the day to teach God’s Word. Thanks so much for praying. We […]

An urgent prayer request. The Manubu’ here have been making their living logging using water buffalo to haul the logs out of the jungle. But, an eye disease has spread throughout the water buffalo in our area – they are staggering around nearly blinded. It is probably a bacterial infection spread by flies. On Monday, […]

We have been back in our village for about two weeks now. Our satellite internet system started working again yesterday after being down for more than two weeks. We are so glad that it is working again. No more hauling a battery, cell signal booster, computer and other paraphernalia up to a tiny building at […]

Our former partners, Trevor and Judy, came to visit us this week. They told us that a friend of their’s in New Zealand, who is a builder, is interested in coming to repair our roof and perhaps help with other repairs and projects on our house which can’t be done by the Manubu’ without Gene’s […]
