Translation Check and Urgent Prayer Request

November 1, 2014

Translation Check Completed “For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” What a joy to see this wonderful truth demonstrated again this […]

Joy and Tears

August 27, 2014

Have you ever been so happy you cried? At a loss for words? The emotions were powerful at the dedication of the Palawano New Testament… We first met Abil when he was a scowling teenager.

So recently after the […]
