Big gathering for Bible dedication!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Selamat Sore! That’s how\u00a0we\u00a0say good afternoon here.\u00a0 It’s a rainy one over here on the Equator. Normally we’re well into months of dry season but instead we’re getting TONS of rain and different areas in the village are flooding. It’s a very strange weather year.<\/p>\n

Does the above\u00a0title ring a bell for you? The\u00a0popular song Jesus Loves Me, such simple words but very real messages. The girls and I have been reading through Psalms the last\u00a0few days and have\u00a0read over and over of David’s testimony of weakness, tears, fear,… but yet\u00a0His\u00a0determination to trust God through it all, what an encouragement. Such a\u00a0comfort that everyday we wake up will\u00a0be too much for us to handle, too much stress, too many decisions, too much heartache. And yet He is still strong in and through us and will\u00a0enable us to face whatever comes!\"\"<\/p>\n

As we mentioned in our last update we had a lot of things going on this summer that has us out of the village for a time. We’re actually still in town, now waiting on the paperwork for Dina’s passport. In the meantime we’ve been able to take a trip into Dina’s birth village and had a nice visit with her birth parents. It’s always very good to reconnect with them. They are now living in a small but newer house and we’re so glad to see that. They still have many challenges but we’re thankful we can be in contact with them and can know\u00a0how to help them physically and through prayer.<\/p>\n

Attending a wedding in town<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We also enjoyed a few days in another village attending a celebration of the newly\u00a0completed \u00a0New Testament Bible in the Semandang language. Such a huge project and blessing for the people!
\nTim has completed teaching and recording all of our tribal lessons onto the computer in order to get them in the hands of anyone interested in the village.\u00a0There are solar powered recorders coming from Singapore as I write that will serve as a way for\u00a0the people to hear the lessons in their own homes.\u00a0Pray with us that this would be a way to reach new people with the gospel and\u00a0also help to reinforce\u00a0God’s truths to those who already believe!<\/p>\n

Lots of playin’ in the rain<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The kids are doing well. Titus is 11 months old and is walking and climbing. He’s a busy little boy but such a fun blessing! The girls are enjoying different friends out here in town and are also doing some summer school projects and learning how to type.<\/p>\n

Please pray our paperwork will be completed soon as we’re ready to get back home now. Pray for the teaching and kids club going on in the village, and as always pray we would be led by the\u00a0Spirit in all parts of our life and be a blessing to anyone we come in contact with!<\/p>\n
