Reopening

April 30, 2020

Do we dare hope? First of all, if you want to WATCH this update rather than read it, we have a video version of it posted in our Facebook Ministry Group here. Feel free to watch and comment. Or you could open it up and just listen as you cook dinner or…I would say on your daily […]

A New Ministry (for a season)

December 22, 2019

Today’s update is the third update of the Potter Mission and maybe one of the most important. We hope you’ll read or watch the whole thing! Let me first of all say, WE HAVE GOOD NEWS to report. We’ll get to that in a second. But first you should know that this is a long update. But, we […]

Serious and Timely

August 21, 2019

I’ve tried to think through different ways of communicating the subject of this post (which was an email) and I’ve sat down a few times to work on it but gotten drawn away to other things. Part of why I’m so easily distracted is that the subject of this is my least favorite part of […]

Come. Come, all of you.

A few days before our team left Las Moras, Andrea told me about something she had dreamed. Dreams are very important to the Nahuatl people, and they often find meaning, signs, or omens in what they see while they sleep. Andrea said that she and a handful of others were standing on an outcropping of […]

Tony

October 2, 2017

Tony is an old man. By U.S. standards he’s getting up there and by Nahuatl standards he’s ancient. We went to visit him a few weeks ago and he began to reminisce about life. He is by far the oldest individual in this community and asked us if we knew why some people last longer […]

1,865 Verses

March 29, 2017

1,865 Verses That’s how many verses have been translated into Nahuatl so far. Each verse goes through a long, careful, (and to be quite frank) sometimes painful process. A passage is studied out, in English, Hebrew or Greek, and sometimes Spanish. An exegetical draft is written and communicated to a native speaker. Questions are asked […]

A Missing Idol

October 28, 2016

by Rachel Chapman As we were getting ready to leave Las Moras this last time, I took time to talk with my Nahuatl friends directly about the Scripture portions that we had been translating. One of the last times with Queen, I asked her what she was believing. She said, “I believe what we’ve […]

A Time to Reflect

April 22, 2016

Trying to recover from typhoid has given me more free time than I know what to do with. Doctors suggest that rest and “stress free” living are keys to recovery, so I’m in the city doing, well, nothing much. And doing nothing has given me plenty of time to think. Mostly, my thoughts have focused […]

the countdown is on!

Our Florida Trip: It wasn’t that long ago when we were counting down the days to our trip to Florida and now it’s over. Thank you for praying. We took part in two workshops which gave us more tools to use to be a help and encouragement to others. After leaving Florida we went to […]
