Put granny in a bag

May 31, 2018

Wapane wanted to hear God’s Word, but the teaching was too far away. The Moi woman was too old to walk to another village in Asia-Pacific’s rugged Papua Province. Her plight literally became Ginogui’s burden: He put her in a large string bag, slung her over his shoulder, and carried her for hours over narrow, […]

Struggling to capture the essence of Africa

March 3, 2018

Africa is inspiring and overwhelming. I feel inadequate – incompetent, even – to capture the grandeur, the scope, the beauty, the colors of this land. We spent a little time in Dar Es Salaam, on the east coast of Tanzania. We flew to Mbeya, on the southeast of Tanzania, and drove to Keratu, on the […]

At work in Africa

February 21, 2018

I think that in the days before I left home for Africa, I must have said to Julie at least three times, “I like being overseas. It’s the getting there I’m not fond of.” Suffice it to say, that was even more true this time. But I must say, being rerouted onto Emirates was a […]

Bound for Africa

February 15, 2018

This weekend I leave for more than three weeks in Africa. And as I said before, I’ll be taking on a different role on this trip: photography and video.

Please pray for the details to […]

You Know What Your Problem Is?

October 11, 2016

PRE-EVANGELISM “Pre-evangelism” is a term referring to the things a Christian does and says to prepare an unbeliever to hear the Gospel message. Pre-evangelism is necessary because most people you meet and wish to reach with the Gospel aren’t ready at that moment to understand and receive the truths from the Bible that God is […]

We try to have a gathering of the whole field of West Africa every 3 years. However on the “off” years, we try to host a training that would be beneficial to our teams. This year the training was on literacy. We had two teams ready to put together their literacy materials and another team […]

A Day in My Life

September 9, 2016

Lots of people have asked me over the past few years what a typical day looks like for me here in My Country. I haven’t been able to answer because every day is so different. But let me give you a glimpse into what this Monday looked like, since it shows some of the joys […]

After all – flying is much faster! And, how would you cross that bridge?

September 2, 2016

When you live in the jungle, far off the last paved road, traveling is a challenge! Especially during the rainy season when roads can turn into something like a monster trucks challenge course. Needless to say that we are very glad that other mission organizations with airplanes and helicopters are in Liberia and are […]
