Alberto and Mark are in a place close to the Guahibos. They traveled on Sunday September 16. Alberto is working with Guahibos brothers in updating and improving the content of the biblical lessons (Firm Foundations) and Mark Cain is working with in the last comprehension check of the N.T. before being printed. As Alberto and Mark […]

A New Teaching

September 24, 2018

Sitting in literacy class with four or five grandmas is an interesting way to learn about village life. For some reason the hard work that they’ve done with their syllables loosens their tongues, and by the time class is done they are usually extremely chatty. They color in their workbooks and chatter away. It is […]

Make Hummus While the Sun Shines

August 23, 2018

I am privileged to have a guest writer on my blog: my Dad, Tom Moore. I asked him to write this month’s post in a joking tone of voice, but with a serious note. You know, the way he always asks me for favors. It was delivered to me on two pieces of notebook paper, […]

Update June 2018

July 12, 2018

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, We give thanks to the Lord for the trip that Virgilio and Alberto made to visit the Guahibo missionaries. Thank you for your prayers!

Come. Come, all of you.

June 25, 2018

A few days before our team left Las Moras, Andrea told me about something she had dreamed. Dreams are very important to the Nahuatl people, and they often find meaning, signs, or omens in what they see while they sleep. Andrea said that she and a handful of others were standing on an outcropping of […]

A Look Back

June 6, 2018

It is so exciting, and kind of strange to finally be able to finally say this! We are officially members of Ethnos360! After 6 years of working and training we have finally made it! Before I talk about what our future holds I want to take a minute to look back, to just pause for […]

Baskets, Culture and Truth

March 10, 2018

Learn to categorize… Yes, we’ve all done it. In real life, in workbooks, with our own kids: what things are more alike than others? Is the Tupperware container more like the box or more like a large bowl? My family agreed that the Tupperware container is more like a box, because it has a lid […]

Unto us a child is born…

Visiting teammates. In August, Alberto had the opportunity to visit the missionaries planting the church in the among the Tikuna in Colombia. The translation of the Scriptures is being finished by being finalized by a couple of missionaries from Wycliff, they live on the border with Peru. Our desire is for the Tikuna church in […]

Our Journey Has Begun

October 11, 2017

Actually, it began back in October of 2016. It has taken us this long to get things settled to a place where we can gather our thoughts and share them. Life has been a whirlwind. When we left Awana in late September 2016 (after 15 years), we didn’t know what God had for us. We […]
