Jesus answered and said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” John 3:5<\/p>\n

This was the 11th week of the teaching from Creation to Christ, and for the first time ever these people heard John 3:16 in their own language! At first many of the people were confused, like Nicodemus, when they first heard that they needed to be \u201cborn again,\u201d but after some explanation the lights turned on and excitement filled the air. Pol began to laugh out loud, Bun started clapping, even a couple of people who have normally been indifferent towards the teaching were asking questions and were anxious to hear more.<\/p>\n

Please continue to pray for all of the teachers. It\u2019s been over 2 months of solid teaching and everyone is getting pretty tired. We have four more weeks to go of this initial teaching, where we teach 5 times a week. Please pray for Felix, Basa, Lucas, Epox, Ronny, Itiringke, Jaspa and Nonjong and also for their families as they have a lot to do to keep things going at home without their husbands.<\/p>\n

Easter is a special time of year and the same is true for the Dinangat believers here in our home village. On Easter two of the Bible teachers will be teaching on Christ\u2019s death burial and resurrection. I was talking with one of the teachers this morning and he told me that he and his wife were reading through Mark 14-16 the other day in preparation for teaching. As he read, his wife stopped him and said, \u201cJesus did all this for us.\u201d They spent some time praising the Lord for what he has done, then decided to take Friday off and just go around and talk with different people, reminding them to think of what Jesus did for them personally. As you celebrate Easter this year, please don\u2019t forget the reason for all those family get togethers, parties and church celebrations. Our Lord and Savior is alive, and because of what HE has done, we also get to share in HIS ABUNDANT LIFE! What Grace!<\/p>\n

April and the kids are at our support center where the boys are \u201cenjoying\u201d some school testing. They will be there until next Tuesday. I would also appreciate your prayers as I\u2019m in here alone for a while. It\u2019s been pretty quiet, but I\u2019ve been able to have some really good times with different people in the village.<\/p>\n

Thank you too for standing behind our family. It\u2019s been difficult being away so much these past months, but we rejoice knowing that the Lord is working in the hearts of our Dinangat friends. It truly is a privilege to serve Him in this way and we thank you for your partnership.<\/p>\n

For His Glory,<\/p>\n
