teaching God's word
As we approach the end of 2011 this letter comes to you with our hearts overflowing with thankfulness! Another year of ministry together which brought about lives being transformed by the power of the Gospel. God is at work and He is using you to reach every tribe, tongue and nation.
God is doing exciting things in the Philippines. The Manobo New Testament is now printed in two different dialects and the Manobo churches are sending out their own missionaries! In another remote village and completely different language, missionaries have begun evangelistic Bible lessons. Over the past year four new missionary families have moved into three different villages to begin learning the language and customs of the tribe so they can one day teach God’s Word to these precious souls for whom Christ died.
In Manila, at the Mission Center, we have seen God put together a great team to run the center in our absence and keep the “hub” of mission activity running smoothly.
Back in June 2011, our “Home Assignment” started off with an amazing meeting at Fellowship Alliance Chapel. Debbie and I gave an update on our ministry in the Philippines and then we were followed by Gracia Burnham. She humbly shared God’s amazing work in and through her life.
Debbie and I will be returning to the Philippines in January 2012. We will be leaving our three precious children in the USA. Our “home assignment” has been a refreshing time for us as we have had an opportunity to share in person with many of you all that God is doing. It is so encouraging for us to see your enthusiastic interest in our lives and ministry.

Christmas together
Speaking of our three precious children; Eddie, Ashley and Brianna are really doing well as they all desire to obey and follow God with their lives.

Eddie continues his studies at Philadelphia Biblical University to serve the Lord in youth ministry.
Ashley serves as an in-flight medic and unofficially as a “ Chaplain” to many.
Brianna is attending New Tribes Bible Institute’s two year Bible program and is serving with the high school youth at a local church in Milwaukee. She is putting into practice the things she is learning.
We are thankful for your partnership in our ministry. It takes a team, and without you we could not continue to serve in the Philippines.
