God is at work!

April 23, 2011

Praise the Lord with us! Three Manjui men were recognized this month as pastors by the local body of believers in Paraguay. The believers, who attended the ordination, sat in a circle around the church, which is their custom. They listened as each tribal pastor spoke. Two other men were to be ordained but because […]

All Can Be Crafty

February 20, 2011

I recently hosted a Staff Lady – Girl Dormer Event where we just got together to have some fun! As the girls entered our home for what I had planned there were several comments ranging from, ‘oh wow, I haven’t done any crafts in a long time’ to … ‘I can’t do this, I am […]

Joyful Outreach

December 15, 2010

The Bible School just hosted a Christmas Rummage Sale for the community. Everything was donated by churches, friends and families of the school, and also the students and staff. Everything was free. This was an outreach to help those around us celebrate Christmas. We also provided snacks, a craft for children who came with their […]

Challenged Anew

November 1, 2010

In one of our weekly Staff Meetings, we were challenged anew about working as a team. The speaker shared about trust, communication, and acceptance. All three are important if you want a well functioning team. Jared and I feel that we have that with many of the people here and are blessed by it. We […]

Begin Anew

September 1, 2010

The life of a school is its students; and as more and more students arrived, the life of this school was being revived. It’s been exciting to see familiar faces return and to greet and meet new ones. We have a large enrollment this year in the freshmen class. It was amazing to see how […]

Saws and Hammers, Glue, and Sanders

July 1, 2010

The air was thick with sawdust; I could barely see the work project. The two men worked quietly due to the noise of the sanders, their concentration was fixed. Every measure and every cut was made with precision. These men were on a mission and were determined to finish the job well. The Bible School […]

Exciting News

June 1, 2010

We recently got some exciting news from Paraguay concerning one of our tribal works in the Chaco. The missionaries from there wrote … “95 people were baptized on May 2nd 88 Manjui and 7 missionary kids! It was AMAZING to be able to participate!” You have a part in this! Isn’t that exciting? We are […]

Marching two by two

May 25, 2010

We were overwhelmed as they came in two by two. The unison of the march was impressive. Their number was considerable as the sea of black, grey, and red all moved as one. Almost eighty students from different walks of life had begun a journey and now one part of it was ending. They had […]

Sitting Where They Sit

April 1, 2010

Stooping low we entered the room. It was dark and smoky. As our eyes adjusted to the dimness we realized that we had journeyed into three different tribal locations. Small lights and special effects strategically placed gave the perfect illusion of the real thing. Our purpose there was to learn language and build relationships. But, […]
