So what do warts and a radiator have in common?  Duct Tape!  This past week we took Luke and Abigail to a doctor because we noticed they had warts on the bottom of their feet.  The doctor recommended that she “cut” the warts off their feet.  This did not appeal to us, especially since she […]

I am loved.  Through the ups and downs of the life of a missionary wife, my husband knows exactly what I need to encourage and motivate me.  After a seeming drought in our mailbox, I was pretty discouraged.  Then we arrived in town and discovered a tower of blessings in our mailbox!  Thank you all […]

It all started with the wonderful idea of celebrating the end of the school year with making Smores. Of course, this was Ginger’s idea and it took a little of planning to get the three simple items needed. The chocolate and graham crackers are something we can usually find on our island. So, we had […]

The day, June 5, started out beautiful, but by 4pm the clouds had moved in and the rain started to come down in sheets.  I, Stephen, told Jonathan that we should pray and ask God to stop the rain because the Bible study was going to start at 7pm.  Jonathan prayed and then I did […]

For the last 12 months, many Agutaynens in our village have attended the re-teach of Creation to Christ.  Most of these Agutaynens attended the Bible teaching in 2009 but chose to stay with their own traditions.  However, a few Agutaynens are hearing it for the first time.  This last Tuesday, May 29, Stephen taught the […]

In 2005, the written Agutaynen New Testament was dedicated by Wycliffe/SIL in several Agutaynen communities.  There was much rejoicing as Agutaynens could now hold God’s Word in their hands, and read it for themselves.  This has been a tremendous blessing, both to the missionaries who are teaching God’s Word, and to the Agutaynens who can […]

The above title might look like gibberish, Greek or maybe even Agutaynen to some.  But it is the word “Bible” inserted into the word “audio” (every other letter).  Today the Agutaynen Bible is being put into audio.  Faith Comes by Hearing just began the project of putting the Agutaynen Bible into an “audio drama”.  God […]

Yesterday was the 1-year anniversary of the death of Ginger’s Agutaynen friend. Many of you may remember us mentioning her when we were in the States last spring. Our hearts were heavy a year ago, knowing that she was clinging to the old ways. Today, our hearts are heavy not for her, but for her […]

Around this world, from Germany to Australia, from the Philippines to the States, people have been praying for Stephen and his studies of the Agutaynen language.  After many years, God has answered those prayers and has brought Stephen to the point of now being able to share God’s wonderful Word with the Agutaynens. Our partner, […]

For many of us, certain days hold special meanings.  For example, the day our children are born.  Or the day we were married.  Well there is another day to add to that list: March 6, 2012.  This day will go down in history as one of the greatest days in our lives.  After thousands of […]
