don’t forget the recipes!

May 9, 2011

The countdown has begun! Next week Joyce & I travel back “home” to Panama. So much has happened in the lives of our Kuna friends since we last saw them – the flooding and devastation, intense pressure on the believers to return to the traditional ways and forsake the Bible, a dear friend’s death, the […]

Dangerous Curves Ahead

December 6, 2010

Thank you so much for standing with us in prayer while we were in Bolivia! We had a wonderful time getting to know the missionary candidates who are preparing for service. They learned about literacy’s importance in church planting and discipleship and practiced writing primers and teaching them. After class was done we traveled to […]

Preparing for Bolivia

September 10, 2010

Bolivia, one of the first countries that New Tribes Mission opened up in the 1940’s, is the location of our next trip! Even though it’s an older mission field, there’s still plenty of work for tribal missionaries. Several groups in Bolivia have yet to hear the Gospel even once! And to finish up well, there is […]

unwritten languages

August 20, 2010

Did you know that there are over 6,000 spoken languages in the world today, and only about half exist in written form? That means there are over 450 million people who still do not have a way to write their own language. This impacts the work of the Church because without writing, these groups do […]

and we’re off…

July 29, 2010

for another adventure! This time we are returning to the lovely country of Colombia with its dramatic rainforests, mountains, and colorful cultures. We will need to pack warm clothes because temperatures in Bogotá will be cooler than most of the places we travel (44 – 65 F). But the delicious hot chocolate and Colombian coffee […]

back from the other side (…of the world!)

May 25, 2010

We had such an awesome time in Indonesia! We were able to work with 18 different language groups, encouraging tribal church leaders and missionary teams of the importance of literacy skills so that people can read the Bibles in their own languages. A great Bible translation will not have the life-changing effect that God desires, if […]

Links in the Chain of Faith

March 31, 2010

We all enjoy a rich spiritual heritage of those who have gone before us in the race of faith (Hebrews chapter 11). Their lives have become strong links in the chain of faith that has been passed down to our generation. May each of us live our lives in such a way that we, too, […]

Counting it ALL joy!

October 9, 2009

About two years ago a young Kuna couple were sent out by their church to work as missionaries in an unreached village upriver. This was a complete miracle as God opened doors that were previously completely closed to the Gospel. In these first years of ministry in the village, Anelio & Silverixia have faced opposition […]

Awayo: Fear to Faith

October 5, 2009

A new, short film portraying the journey that brings a Moi man of Papua New Guinea from a life dictated by fear of the spirits to faith in his Creator. This is what we are about!

September 11, 2009

Ah, September! It’s one special month! Fall is in the air (well, here in FL this takes a little imagination). You’ve got to love the colors and scents! And it can’t get much better than pumpkin spice coffee! But it’s also been an awesome month for us of meeting with many, many missionary teams to […]
