Returns and Rejoicings…

March 22, 2011

Returns and Rejoicings I had a wonderful time with Nicole, Olivia, Jacob and Owen. Being there with them for those weeks met the desires of my “mother’s and grandmother’s heart.” Thanks again for praying for us both, especially during the time I was away, through my sickness, and for my return to the Philippines. Our […]

Reporting from two sides of the globe!

February 14, 2011

We wanted to update you during this time that Laura is in the US to let you know how things are going… Laura reports cold weather, snow, snow and more snow but LOTS of lovin’ on the grandkids. The picture with this update was taken by the webcam just after Laura arrived. She said that […]

Psalms, Proverbs and Pogong…

January 16, 2011

Thank you so much for praying for Lance’s work on the Psalms. He’s really been enjoying recording each chapter with Pogong, his translation helper. However, last week and this week he’s had to lay that aside as Pogong is away on a ministry trip. Pogong has lived with his family in a village for a […]

Merry Christmas!

an outreach with bones!

November 17, 2010

This week the Higaunon church is hosting a seminar for the Bible teachers. They have come from several outreach villages. This picture has several stories behind it that we want to share with you.

It’s Harvest Time!

November 2, 2010

It’s harvest time here in the mountains and people are busy bringing rice in from their fields! This year has been a particularly good harvest for which they are all very thankful. They have had just the right amount of rain and sunshine at the right times to ripen it. The village is often empty […]

I am a jealous God!

October 8, 2010

Two Visitors We had two visitors at the house the other day. The first one was all about “everyone is persecuting me!” Our neighbor was rather upset by the way he perceived people were treating him. We told him he needed to go see the church leadership. It has been many years since we have […]

trip home September 20 ’10

September 20, 2010

Safely home… We spent this last week making purchases and preparing to head into the village while fighting jet lag. Lance caught Laura’s cold and discovered the one good thing about having a cold and jet lag at the same time is that you sleep well at night when you take night time cold medication! […]

Comings and goings…

Family Time We have been enjoying a visit from Justin, Nicole and children since August 21st. They had several meetings on their way south and here in Florida. Please continue to pray for the support they lack so they can get to East Asia, next year, as He wills. During our visit together, we enjoyed […]

We told him, “God will have His way”

August 4, 2010

A number of years ago an old man showed up in the village and left a few days later with Tahak’s daughter. Bikbik was gone and everyone was sad, especially Tahak. Bikbik was upset that her dad didn’t do anything to try and keep her! God only knew when or if we’d see her again.
