Praise the Lord our coworkers, Gerolf and Mailis Wuest and baby Richard are here at last. One of the support staff from field headquarters drove them to the landslide and we carried their supplies over it to our pickup truck and then down to here where our houses are. It almost went off without a […]

The landslide situation has not changed much. There has been talk of the local government sending in equipment to clear it out but we will believe it when we see it. Until then we will keep having to walk over it to get our supplies in and people out. This week on the 11th our […]

Having been basically on our own since 2000, it is always nice to have visitors come. What a pleasure it was to have Bryan and Shara Moritz and their two young boys up here in the Dom with us for five weeks. They are fellow NTM missionaries working on the support side of things in […]

As always our hearts are torn being so far from our children and grandchildren. We call Kelli (Ilai’s daughter) at least once a month; she will be 12 in May. Continue to pray for Ilai in his current situation, that he will turn to God during this time. He is conflicted. Brian, Terra and two […]

“For the Word of God is living and active, shaper than any two edged sword. Hebrews 4:12 (NAS). I, Jim, have been checking through the Dom draft of the Gospel of John with one of our dear Dom brothers in Christ, Philip. What a pleasure it has been to see him smile, to see his […]
