A few weeks ago, I, Stephen, was sitting next to Jonathan on our “short” 15 \u00bd hour leg of our flight from L.A.\u00a0 I was talking to Jonathan and trying to prepare him for our return to the Philippines, trying to explain that we were returning so that we can tell the Agutaynens about Jesus.\u00a0 Somewhere in Jonathan\u2019s mind the translation was mixed up.\u00a0 Jonathan looked up and asked, \u201cAre we going to see Jesus in the Philippines?\u201d\u00a0 His hopes were dashed as I said, \u201cNo, we won\u2019t see Jesus in the Philippines.\u201d<\/p>\n

The next few minutes, days and weeks since then, two thoughts have been constantly upon my mind: \u201cIs the Gospel message to the Agutaynens clear and understandable?\u201d\u00a0 \u201cOr is the translation in their minds getting mixed up?\u201d<\/p>\n

Please pray as we return to the Agutaynens:<\/p>\n

\"\"–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 that we will finish our language study and be able to clearly, accurately, and freely communicate in the Agutaynen language;<\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 that we will be able to renew our friendships with our Agutaynen neighbors and friends;<\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 that many will be saved for His glory.<\/p>\n

Thank you to all of you who stand with us.\u00a0 What a wonderful and indescribable day that will be when we, together with Agutaynens, worship our Lord and Savior in His presence.\u00a0 And then, as Jonathan would say, \u201cWe will see Jesus!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
