It was one of those days February 12th 2017.  I was following a young missionary family around in a village as they were learning language and culture. It impressed me how their older son less than five year old shown in the photo can speak German, English and is very interested in getting the trade […]

Over the last 40 years I have seen many tools given to help the missionary speed up getting the gospel to the hard to reach places around the world. In my early days working in jungles or riding the rivers my sweetest friend by far was my Leatherman at my side just waiting to meet […]
