\"Iyaipupu\"<\/a>
Iyaipupu<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u00a0Hello from hot and humid Ohio. -Reminds us of Indonesia, actually!<\/p>\n

This summer has sure flown by. Even though we\u2019ve been on the road most of the summer, it\u2019s been a pretty rejuvenating time for us. In some ways it has been a healing time for us, as we reflect back on some hardships we faced this past term in Moi and really believing that it has all been for our good; that we have a sovereign heavenly Father Who desires to work in our lives to make us more like Himself. It has been good for us to be away from our normal place of ministry, be able to interact with other kind Christians here in America, and just get a fresh perspective on what God has called us to do.<\/p>\n

Some highlights this summer have been spending time with friends, seeing our parents again, Ashley driving all over with a driver\u2019s permit, a week at Myrtle Beach with friends from church, taking the girls fishing, grocery shopping in a real grocery store with all the selection, finding clothes to buy that actually fit, and being able to go to sleep at night without feeling like someone will be waking us up because of a medical emergency (like so often in Moi.) Stephen is nervous but excited about some opportunities to speak about Moi\/missions and how God\u2019s been working in his life. I think you could go online to watch him speaking at Church of the Open Door tomorrow if you go to: http:\/\/churchoftheopendoor.org\/stream.html<\/p>\n

News from Moi is that several of the Moi believers are teaching God\u2019s Word using the Bible verses and lessons that have already been translated to teach around 100 people; some of those are already believers, but please pray that the ones who don\u2019t know the Lord yet will believe in God\u2019s wonderful salvation for them. We also just got word that one of our Moi friends, Iyaipupu (unbeliever who\u2019s caused us some problems in the past by even sending word that he had an arrow picked out to use on Steve) just killed another good Moi friend of ours by the name of Kaupiya. Kaupiya made a choice last time we presented the Gospel to not come to listen. He said, \u201cMy garden is more important than that.\u201d Now He\u2019s met his Maker and has much regret. Pray that God will soften Iyaipupu\u2019s heart.<\/p>\n

Thank you again for standing behind us.<\/p>\n

Much love, Stephen, Carolyn, Ashley and Mariah<\/p>\n
