We, along with the believers of Faith Bible Church, are excited as the new church building is close to completion.  Lord willing, in 47 days, we will be ready to apply for our final permit for occupancy.  In celebration and giving praise to God, we are planning a dedication on December 7th and 8th.  We […]

No matter the time of day or the weather condition, work continues on the new church building.  This past week, workers have started to install window jams, plastering the walls with cement, preparing the floor by spreading rock around, and digging a huge hole for a septic tank.  The latter was no small feat as […]

For those who prefer just knowing the final score and not every play-by-play detail, please allow us to give you the “final results” of SBC (Sports Bible Camp 2019): Collectively, the players of SBC said their memory verses over 8,000 times throughout the village, often taking up to three hours per day per player, many […]

Could you imagine building a church or a house with no electric tools?  Each week, we have a crew of about 12 men who are laboring away at the construction of Faith Bible Church . . . by hand.  By hand they have: made over 1000 hollow blocks; dug 22 “holes” for the footing of […]

Literally, a parking lot speed bump took out our vehicle.  Upon our arrival yesterday into the capital city, we pulled into a parking lot and went over a speed bump.  We heard and felt a loud bang and the front right side of the vehicle slumped down.  Stephen jumped out of the vehicle and took […]

Sometimes we think moving a house is easier that getting a land title and a building permit. We were hoping our presents for Christmas would be a building permit and a land title for Faith Bible Church.  Sadly, neither one was under our Christmas tree.  But now it is 2019, a new year and new […]
