We leave tomorrow afternoon, Friday January 5th. We should reach our destination country after 9,000 miles and (Lord willing) 28 hours of flying, terminal hopping, and carry-on […]

3 + 1 + 2 = 46

December 28, 2017

As 2017 draws to a close, we want to express our gratitude to God for his faithfulness! 2017 began with Bill barely able to walk across a room (injury). The year ended with him going up and down stairs in Chihuahua Mexico (recovery!) And lot of great things happened in between. While in Chihuahua, Bill […]

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 […]

What Drives Us?

February 24, 2017

If every Christian in the world shared Christ with every single person they knew… and all of those people believed, there would still be two billion people in the world who had never heard the gospel. -David Platt (Cross 2015, paraphrased from a testimony by one of our Radius students)

Reaching the Unreached Next Door

October 11, 2016

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?

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 […]

Today, we buried a prayer partner…
