Check out this short video of Jinongke. He is a very influential person in the Dinangat tribe. At first he was resistant to the gospel, but God’s Word is powerful and has changed his life.
Did you know that there are many tribes just begging for missionaries to come to share the Good News about Christ with them? There are several tribes that have heard about other tribes being taught about Jesus, and they are asking for someone to come and share in their language, but there are not enough […]
As time marches on and we continue to prepare for our time of home assignment (starting June 2016), I thought I would share some thoughts. Home assignment, also known as furlough, is a time for reconnecting with ministry partners and churches, meeting and connecting with new ministry partners and churches, addressing any medical/health/education/other issues, rest & refreshment. What […]
Are you ready to join us through prayer on the adventures of a new year? Next week we begin our travels with a trip to Colombia where we will be helping one more time with the literacy course in the training center for missionary candidates. Over the last few years we’ve been training Martha who […]

I have to admit, I’ve asked God the same question quite a few times since we’ve […]
So lately I’ve found myself on edge. I feel like I’m being stalked…by mosquitoes. Although I’m sure they’re acting purely instinctually, it seems a bit more intentional at times. In a room full of people, I will be bitten tenfold. Right now, I feel like I’m in the middle of an all-out war against these […]

Gwandambi, the Simbari boy who had a bone infection, has continued to make good progress. His cast has been removed and one of our mission’s physical therapists is helping him to regain motion and build up strength in the leg. He is walking with a cane now instead of crutches. Around Christmas many Simbari […]
