Two Weeks

June 9, 2016

It’s been a little over two weeks since Davis was born and he is doing well. He is up to about 5 lb. 5 oz., so he’s gained about 9 ounces. He is in an open crib and can keep himself warm now. The main thing they are waiting on before sending us home is […]

Theirs Truly

June 8, 2016

“Are you going, Aunt?” “Are you going, Cousin?” “Are you going, Yasa?” Half a dozen little voices called out to me from the schoolhouse, as little heads pressed and pushed to get up higher than the others or closer to the window. Their teacher didn’t call them back. “Yes, I’m going.” I answered. “Oh, that’s […]

Bob’s last trip, which he just returned from April 29th, took him to two countries and four language groups.

The unseeing needing sight

June 6, 2016

Just 2 weeks before we left Taina to go to Brazil, 2 people in the community were talked about in our discipleship times as unsaved and targets to practice what we were learning. Well, as it turned out one person was a young girl named Ingrid who was visiting and speaks only Spanish and a […]

Visiting Grandpa

June 6, 2016

The Sanapaná live and die with no clear gospel witness in their own language and culture. While visiting this tribal community, our friends took us for a walk around the village. At the end of a path was our ultimate destination, a man the missionaries called “Grandpa.” We brought fresh tereré along with us in case he […]

Relay Team

June 4, 2016

For many years, people have compared missions to a foot race and how the missionary needs to pace himself and endure through pains and heartaches. This may be a good analogy, but I desire to share with you a different foot race when the missionaries are spectators and the supporter (you) is the runner. I […]

Why We Travel

June 3, 2016

As we prepare for our trip next week, I was realizing that travel is becoming a normal part of life and ministry for us. Our travels bring us all over West Africa and sometimes even beyond that. There are some who might wonder why we so often “hit the road” and “take to the skies”. […]

Kim’s Visit to one of the regions here in May I have visited one of the regions for a week (5/23~28) and Haejung and kids stayed at home because of Seowon’s school schedule. God gave me precious opportunities to learn about the spiritual realities and needs there through meeting with many missionaries. The Realities of […]
