Lukas, a life lived for the Lord

September 15, 2015

When we taught the “Creation to Christ Story” the first time here in 2008, he was a teenager. He went to school, wasn’t married yet and had no idea what God was going to do through him and in him in the coming years. Today Lukas is one of our most faithful bible teachers, one […]

Jesus In The Center

August 18, 2015

The church service last Sunday morning was very encouraging. As a review we have been learning from the letter to the Ephesians for a few weeks now. The Dinangat Bible Teachers have been learning to write their own Bible lessons, and we are clearly seeing progress with that. Jaspa was preached this morning about Eph.5: […]

Growing pains

March 18, 2015

Growing hurts sometimes and becoming more mature is not always easy. We all make mistakes and hopefully we can keep on going and learning more. ” …we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ…” Eph.4,15 Oh, how hard can it get sometimes to grow and to mature […]

Probably the hardest thing!

February 11, 2015

This was probably the hardest thing we have ever done in our lives as we separated from our two big girls, Naomi and Rebekka. As the day came closer we got more nervous about it and started to struggle a bit. And sure enough when we said our good-byes it was very, very hard. Not […]

Finally it was time! School break started and we (the Markleys and us) got to go to our Dinangat home for 12 days which we hadn’t seen for over a year. We were so excited! We got picked up by our pilots at 6:45 a.m. and by 7:30 a.m. we were already in the air. […]
