Here and There

March 13, 2019

Where’s the best place to learn culture and language? Answer: in a cultural community where that language is spoken. But not all communities (or teachers, or schools…) are equal. On our trip to Asia in September, we checked out a language school where our people might learn national language and culture. Bill was asked to […]

Say What?

September 11, 2017

Everyone Needs to Hear! We say this often. It’s our passion. This is what missions is all about: The unreached need to be reached with the Gospel. They need to hear the message of Christ.. and we believe they deserve to hear it in their heart language. What Does “Hear” Really Mean? If they misunderstand […]

“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 […]

Imagine all the new possibilities!

August 13, 2016

God has used our ministry to mature us and it is always a reward seeing the students mature in the Lord as well. As they grow in their faith and walk with the Lord they are being equipped to plant churches among unreached people. Last semester we had 40 students completing the course and they […]

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. We lived and ministered on Palawan. We worked with the Palawanos (we were palawano.com, for goodness’ sake!) We were translating the Palawano New […]

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 […]

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? […]

Over the Border and Around the World

May 1, 2015

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. They are also being taught how learn the Heart […]

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. He boldly told the world that his country was ready and willing to fight. They just needed the tools. That is much like the situation […]
