In part 4 of "From Fear to Faith" Grandma shares about when the missionaries first lived among them. How fearful they were!! A lot has changed down through the years. A lot to praise the Lord for!
Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse for the Higaunon, their account of life outside of Christ saddens us even more. Part 3 is about sickness and taboos regarding child birth. Were they happy outside of Christ? What do you think?
Part 2 of what the Higaunon wish to share with you sheds some more light on their culture outside of Christ. Those who say, "Leave them alone, they're happy the way they are" have not lived amongst them. If they had, they would realize that they were not a very happy people.
The Higaunon believers have some things they want to share with you. "Unripe Ones - Part one" is what they believed before they came to Christ - what those outside of Christ STILL believe. As you read these cultural insights, please pray that many more Higaunon will come to a saving knowledge of Christ.
We've been back in the village for just over 3 weeks! Lance is working on checking lessons for 1 Corinthians and we've had some good visits with different ones.
We asked you to pray that it wouldn't rain and it didn't rain from Friday, the day we hiked in until after our supply flight on Monday. Praise God for answered prayer!
We are stepping out on faith, getting ready to return to the Philippines. Saying goodbye is so very difficult and we covet your prayers for us as we leave this coming week.
