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 […]

Today, we buried a prayer partner…

March 5, 2016

It was more than forty years ago that we met Blanche. And it was about that time that the Lord was putting on her heart to engage in a ministry of intercession. Few people do this; even fewer spend a lifetime doing it. God takes notice. Isaiah 59:16 records how God saw the desperate condition […]

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.

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

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 […]

A World of Difference

March 11, 2015

Packing our bags… …Again. Yep, we’re headed to Manila next week for a forum on developing and providing training for Asian missionaries. 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 […]

What Would You Do?

February 5, 2015

View image | gettyimages.com What would you do… …if you found yourself in a remote village and had to learn the language? …if no one there spoke any English? …or they spoke no English at all? …if there were no CDs, books, teachers, schools or websites to help you? …there were no dictionaries or published explanations […]

Bill’s new position is called “International Language and Linguistics Consultant.” We were blessed to be a part of seeing the Palawanos reached […]
