“Now I Can Get off at the Right Bus Stop!”

August 15, 2016

“Now I can get off at the right bus stop!” Yes, those were the words someone shouted with much joy in my…phonetics class!  I HAD to stop and say, ‘What?!’ It just so happens that he had been overseas for a year or so already, attempting to learn a new language.  But he’d never been […]

My eight year old niece, whom my family frequently refers to as “Little Lizzie”, is having a difficult time understanding why I have to move so far away from her. Last week I was trying to explain to her the necessity of missions and why I am leaving. Thinking that I am preparing to return […]

The Training – Prayer Countdown, Day 2

July 30, 2016

As we prepare to start our language & culture training in just over a week (Mon, 8 Aug) we covet your prayers.  More than just a practical tool to help us get around, we believe this is a critical part of being able to minister effectively in the area God is placing us. I’d say […]

Another Palawano Translation? Yes. Did you know there are THREE Palawano people groups on Palawan? Three related-but-distinct Palawano languages? It’s true. For security reasons, let’s call them Palawano 1, Palawano 2, and Palawano 3. We did the translation for Palawano 1. Some friends with Wycliffe Bible Translators did a translation for Palawano 2. But Palawano 3 needs […]

Missionary Language Nerds, Unite!

May 27, 2016

Help! Missionaries who desire to reach an Unreached People Group face a daunting task. Not only must they live in an unfamiliar context and endure an extreme (read: hot!) climate, they must learn an unknown language and culture on their own. They need help. Who You Gonna Call? That’s where guys like Bill come in. […]

Then… and Now

May 6, 2016

THEN (1980s) AND NOW (2016) A LOT HAS CHANGED. (Well, besides the fact that we are a little bit older…) THEN: For 33 years, it was easy to explain our ministry: Bill and Donna? Oh yeah, PALAWAN.

Help! I Need Somebody…

Help! I Need Somebody…

April 11, 2016

Teamwork Missionary work is not accomplished by one person working alone. This was very clear on our recent consultant trip to Asia Pacific.

Alimpu’s Baptism (From November of 2008)

December 19, 2015

  Sitting in the darkness of the smoke filled tribal hut, I shifted positions, trying to get more comfortable on the woven bamboo floor. The only light in the jungle hut was from the smoldering fire in the center of the floor, but even that was suppressed by a thick blanket of smoke trying to […]

Out of the Smoke

November 1, 2015

Bill is Back… …and pretty much over jet lag. Whew! Thanks to all who prayed for Bill during his recent Asia Pacific trip. The smoke in the region did not cause breathing problems for him. His plane back to the capital city was not delayed. The trip was a great success, and Bill made new friends and […]
