Pogpasalamat (Thanksgiving)

Posted by Chris and Lynne Strange on Sunday, October 3rd, 2010

from Ben 090It’s Thanksgiving in the village!

We received a message from the village about this weekend’s feast to celebrate God’s provision for them through the recent harvest. It’s a great time of fellowship as families from all over the jungle gather in our village. They told us they are disappointed we will not be with them. They prayed for the repairs on the airplane to be completed so we might join them but we are all waiting for those answers in His time. We would so love to be there!

It’s such an exciting time!  Slaughtering, cooking, laughing, eating and playing fills the whole day. A beautiful time of worship and praise to God with singing, sharing and fellowship follows all night. I can hear all the sounds and enjoy the smells just thinking of these times past! (more…)

Prayer for Kisi and Tibun

Kisi and family Will you pray for our friends?

This is a picture of our friends and co-workers in the village. The man is an amazing Bible teacher and youth leader in the village church.

It’s been a rough year for them. Just like families the world over, our tribal friends deal with the very real issues and heartache when their children turn away from what they know about God and live their lives in rebellion.

We just can't hold onto it!

Our stay here in America is fleeting and before long we’ll be winging our way towards the Philippines. The months were packed and now we must be too!

Jaiden and Naomi were up to the task of filling our lives with joy and it was wonderful to sit and talk with Brent and Tonia. We spent just a little over one week with them as they graciously opened their home and lives to us, putting aside their incredibly packed schedule for us. They shared some exciting news!

Neo

We just received the wonderful news that our grandson, Neo, is soon to get a new birth certificate showing his last name as Moffit! 

Josh and Belinda Moffit, missionaries working with the Tala Andig tribe, allow us to be grand parents of their three delightful children. God gave Neo to them through adoption and we have  prayed and cried and agonized with them through the long adoption process. Praise the Lord with us as you read their own words below:
