It’s easy… tell them that their Bible translation is being used and that people’s lives are being changed by it! A Good Report We keep hearing good reports about the Palawano church back in our village.

Say What? When are you good enough?

July 6, 2015

The world is a big place. And Christ’s command to make disciples of all nations is a big task. We can easily feel overwhelmed by it. Can we do it? Yes! We have his command, and his promises. The church can move forward with confidence; undaunted, and full of hope. How can we do it? […]

Training in Tijuana Last week we once again had the privilege of teaching at Radius International in Tijuana. There are 11 students there this year, all being trained to go to the hard places of the world, and take the name of Christ to Unreached People Groups.

Give Us the Tools!

April 14, 2015

“Give us the Tools… …and We Will Finish the Job!” Sir Winston Churchill spoke those inspiring words in 1941 when England was under severe attack and needed help to survive.

The Palawanos Now Have God’s Word

July 27, 2014

The Palawano New Testament is done! In the hands of the people. Being read, studied and taught. Being memorized. Being listened to. Being shared with unbelievers. Changing lives. Even as we write these words, we can hardly believe it. Even though we were there, handing Bibles to the Palawanos, we can hardly believe it. After […]

‘Nuff Said

May 6, 2014

And about 30 years later…. there it is! Over 100 volunteers helped us check about half the copies for defects last night (and we only found a few). More checking today… In hand. At last. Praise. Joy.
