Struggling to capture the essence of Africa

March 3, 2018

Africa is inspiring and overwhelming. I feel inadequate – incompetent, even – to capture the grandeur, the scope, the beauty, the colors of this land. We spent a little time in Dar Es Salaam, on the east coast of Tanzania. We flew to Mbeya, on the southeast of Tanzania, and drove to Keratu, on the […]

Celebrate Easter!

April 5, 2012

When Jesus went to the Cross, did He do it for you? Was His blood spilled for your sins? Did He rise in victory over sin and death for you? Count on it! But … was it just for you? Or does God’s Word tell us this is Good News for all people everywhere? This […]

An important step for our ministry

June 16, 2011

Our support has increased, but more is needed for us to carry out our ministry.

Travels in Thailand

October 15, 2010

Do your travel plans always work out the way you expect them to? I suppose that would be a miracle in this day and age, right? Our travels are working out far differently — but better — than we expected. Julie and I had expected to go from Bangkok to Chiang Mai by train. It […]

Your prayers are key to our trip

September 23, 2010

Can you believe that Julie and I leave for Thailand the first week of October? I’m not sure I can. Julie told me it seems unreal to her as well. That may change when we make checklists and start packing. As our unreality shifts into nervous excitement, we’d appreciate your prayers. Thank God for providing […]

Perseverance

August 16, 2010

Have you found that the third time is the charm? I’m not so sure about that saying myself, but I know perseverance is good. And I think that’s why Dee and Shy are making a third attempt to share God’s Word in another Prai village. Dee and Shy are believers among Thailand’s Prai people group, […]

Thai into our ministry

August 12, 2010

In October, Julie and I are going to Thailand. We’d appreciate your prayers, and you have other opportunities to take part as well. Why we’re going More than 100 people groups are asking New Tribes Mission to bring God’s Word to them. Just one of them consists of 13 million people with no access to […]

Awayo is just a beginning

July 29, 2010

Do you like stories? Do you like changing lives? Do you want more? The stories you help Julie and I tell change lives. Many of you prayed and gave when I went to Indonesia to make a short film. And when I came down with malaria afterward. And through the long process of pulling the […]

Tribal believers say …

February 2, 2010

Would you like to be able to see and hear tribal believers tell you how faith in Christ has changed their lives? You can. In fact, you can have almost the same vantage point I had when I went to Indonesia, as you listen to Dagamee, Ediapiya, Iyodotabo and Paiye. Brief videos of their testimonies […]

Exceptional results

October 16, 2009

No one said a word for a full five minutes. In a room full of 700 college students, there were always people talking, oblivious to what was going on in the Reality Conference. But not after AWAYO was shown. After one of the first public showings of the film you helped make possible, you could […]
