The Village in Pictures

November 17, 2017

Even though we live in town right now, we’ve been able to make multiple visits to the village our co-workers (Susie and Jen) have just moved into! We’re thankful that their houses were finished in time for Jen to spend a couple of weeks in the village before returning to the States for […]

It dominated the spot behind the temple and a lot of village ceremonies, culture events and meetings took place under it.

Above & Beyond

I want to begin this blog by saying thank you to everyone who has prayed for my trip out to pack up our house and say goodbye to the Tigak church. My trip out there went very well, far better than I could have hoped or imagined. Our prayers were answered, though the trip was […]

Jeff the Boar
