The Day A Shaman Came

April 22, 2016

Here in Pei we have had some seriously crazy stuff happen. But the day a shaman came to Pei was epic. Here’s the deal, the Pei are animists that means they attribute a soul to plants, animals, inanimate objects and even natural phenomena. So this is perfect setting for a guy that claims to […]

Finding a Location

July 7, 2012

Pei: For the past few months now we have been looking to a Tribal group in which to minister. Oddly enough even though there are hundreds of Tribal Languages still to be reached there tends to be a lot of ‘red tape’ and ‘shenanigans’ to be worked through in order to get there. We are […]
