We don't have fundraising progress to report yet, but we're taking the next step before us, trusting the God who stirs up hearts and provides for His work.
Will you join us in asking God to work in ways only He can do to meet these goals and answer these requests? Eyes on the end of the year Somehow it is already October! With just three months left of 2026, we find we are at that place again where we are evaluating how […]
As we head into summer, have a little glimpse at how we’re doing following Joel’s successful trip to Papua New Guinea. First of all, THANKS so much for praying with us during the trip. Not only did he and his team have a sweet time capturing stories from three different parts of the country, but […]
