A New Ministry!
We’re Excited! We are transitioning into a new ministry, and want to tell you about it. After over 33 years in the Philippines, we will now be under New Tribe’s International Ministries Office. Bill’s new position is called “International Language and Linguistics Consultant.” We were blessed to be a part of seeing the Palawanos reached […]
Translation Check and Urgent Prayer Request
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 […]
Simbari Baptism
We would like to share some testimonies and photos from a recent baptism here in Simbari. The entire baptism service was planned and carried out by the Simbari church leaders. There were a total of 15 who wanted to publicly declare their faith in Jesus. Below are some of those testimonies. So pull up a […]
Joy and Tears
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.

‘Nuff Said
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.
Ever thought of landing on a dirt road?
This week in our training, we had a great time learning how to do package drops. We had a few bags filled with rocks and lime stone and tried to hit a 10ft by 10 ft box, flying 85 MPH 100 ft above the ground . It was not as easy hitting my mark as […]
Ringing From The Mountain
It’s common at this time of year for Simbari people to get restless and travel out to the towns. The Simbari Bible teachers have such a burden for the those of the church who are scattered around in different locations, not able to hear these great truths in their own language. So recently after the […]
Beginning again
How many times does God bring us back to what feels like beginning again? You think you’ve learned a lesson and then God brings you back to a new scenario and you find you need to learn the same lesson over again. Or maybe you think you’ve messed up your life too much for God […]
