The Banwaon tribal church has 40% of the New Testament translation checked and printed for them to use. Our partners, Albert and Lynne Castelijn, are living in Australia for two years and currently working on Romans 9 as they settle into Australian culture and their four children into school systems preparing them for University. Please pray for them too.
And while you are praying…
God blessed the Banwaon church with godly leadership who teach the believers in our village as well as traveling weekly on outreaches all over the jungle. Last year they sent out their first missionary.

Bastun is a Banwaon Bible teacher. His is an amazing story.
He was so tiny when he was born his parents felt he would not live. As was the custom, they planned to leave him out in the jungle to die since it was too difficult to care for an infant they were certain would die anyway. They abandoned their tiny baby deep in the jungle.

Winging Back across the Globe
As global missionaries, we get to spend a fair bit of time looking at things from the vantage point of this photo. We recently returned to the Philippines, traveling high above the earth where everything outside seems so pristine and far removed from the problems that we know are below. I can imagine that is the reason birds just soar – for the sheer fun of it, just because they can – to leave the dirt below. I am pretty sure that is what makes birds so arrogant.
We are are learning much. God has carried us to some pretty divine highs. Knowing us as He does, He manages just the perfect balance between these and the ‘flat on our face’ moments that He weaves into our lives, bringing us into just the place He would have us. We so thank Him for bothering with us at all! (more…)

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:
