“Thank the Lord It Is Not Good Friday”

March 24, 2016

This Thursday morning we awoke with the news that our Agutaynen neighbor gave birth to a son. At 6am, the village midwife was at our gate and excitedly shared with us all the details of the event that took place just a few hours before. If you don’t mind, we won’t share all those details […]

Written in the Dust

February 19, 2016

Where there once was green, lush grass, there is now bare, dry land. The village wells that once were filled are now dry and abandoned. Everywhere we look, we see the evidence that we need rain. Even though the rains ceased about four months ago, the flowers still bloom. However, their beauty is quickly covered […]

How to Make a Translator Happy

August 25, 2015

It’s easy… tell them that their Bible translation is being used and that people’s lives are being changed by it!

This is exciting for us, as it is moving us toward our vision of seeing well-trained, effective communicators taking the Gospel to Unreached Peoples throughout Asia and all the world! Training many nations […]

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.

Meeting Gracia

September 13, 2011

If you had told me many years ago when I was watching the news reports of the captured missionaries in the Philippines that one day one of them would be rescued and I would eventually meet them in person, I would have thought you were crazy. Remembering back to the reports of the tragic capturing […]

Where Do We Go From Here?

September 28, 2009

So, we've been researching new fields of service. Like we've said before, the closed door to Cambodia is not a closed door to going overseas altogether. Now begins the process of deciding the "where" followed shortly after by the "when."
