House Progress

House Progress

In November, the guys on our team took our house plans out to the village, hired some guys to build our foundation and lay our adobes and hauled the rock and sand that they would need. In December, most of the team went out to spend time in the community and get the second house […]

Packing again

Packing again

We’re getting ready for another trip into the village, and that means packing again.  It’s getting easier and easier, because after a few times, I know what I need and what I don’t need. Please pray for us for safety in traveling.  Please pray that the roads would be dry enough to make it into […]

We don’t have to look any farther than this picture to remember why we’re here… This morning, I was sitting at the table figuring out how much lumber we will need for our house – how much of what size for the remaining walls and the roof.  Suddenly the phone rang.  It was one of […]

Reality Stinks, Sometimes

The pilots that fly for our organization were flying over our area on Sunday and took this picture for us.  This is pretty much how we left it over two weeks ago.  We had planned, had understood that the construction crew would be finished with the foundation and walls by next week.  But, now, it […]

Please pray with us that the people would be motivated […]

We have adobes!

We have adobes!

God answered our prayers.  We weren’t sure what to expect as far as adobes were concerned, because we’d been gone for so long.  We weren’t sure if the people would be motivated to make what we asked when we weren’t coming back for so long. We had left some money with the village leaders to […]

AWAYO

Some of my co-workers live among the Moi people of Indonesia.  This is Awayo’s story: For more NTM videos, go to ntm.org/video Pray for the Nahuatl people – who have not yet had the opportunity to hear the Gospel in their language. Pray that God would be drawing them to Himself. Pray that their hearts […]
