We recently asked for prayer for Astun who has been a faithful Manubu Bible teacher for some years now. He was very ill and had been hospitalized in a city. We’ve just received an update on his condition. It is always difficult to find out just what sickness a person has. When a tribal person […]

Please PRAY for Astun. He is a Manubu’ Bible teacher who lives and teaches in a village about a 1 1/2 day hike from us. He has been faithfully teaching God’s Word for perhaps six or seven years now – we don’t know exactly how long. Many Manubu’ have been saved through his ministry and […]

We have arrived safely home here at the tribal village where we live. Drove in the rain this morning through lots of mud holes, very narrow places with drop-offs going far down on both sides of the road because of washouts, and across a fast river waist deep. Thanks for praying. The people here in […]

We’ve received a number of emails saying that people were praying for us in response to our email about a typhoon coming. Gene was able to talk with Piduy via a prearranged cell phone call earlier today and learned that all our area saw of the typhoon was a little light rain! Bushels of thanks […]

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 […]
