Posted by Lance and Laura Ostman on Saturday, May 30th, 2009
Saying goodbye is something we do a lot of in our line of work. A week ago we said goodbye to Bill & Carol Hart after working with them for 21 years. We’re rejoicing that Jennings and we have worked together with Bill and Carol and that we have enjoyed precious unity and harmony.
We’ve been through a lot over the years and it’s all those things that have drawn us together. We laugh when we hear people say, “Aw, they’re all the same!” Hardly! The three of us units on this team are as different as night and day! The thing that has helped us to get along is that we maintain our unity by meeting together daily for a time of fellowship and prayer.
Now though, Harts have come to a point in life where they had to make some changes. Bill’s folks are getting up in years and have asked Bill to take care of them during the time they have left on this earth. Also, they have 2 daughters who have finished school and need to be “settled” in Canada.
When we think of Bill we think of someone who has discernment and knows how to come along side and be an encouragement. When we think of Carol we think of someone who has said to God many times, “Bring it on, Lord! Do whatever it takes to make me more like you.”
Daily team meeting.
The Hart family has been a tremendous example to us and the Higaunon. They will be sorely missed. Please pray for Bill & Carol and their family as they adjust to a new phase of life away from the work here in the Philippines.
Please continue to pray for the Higaunon church, for Jennings and ourselves, as we carry on with what God has for us in getting His Word to these people. We are in the final stages o
Thank you so much for standing with us in prayer and financial support.
Secure in Christ’s love,
Lance & Laura
Here we are fooling around!
Ostman Update
Posted by Lance and Laura Ostman on Sunday, February 15th, 2009
Exciting news was shared with us recently from one of the Higaunon Bible teachers.
Over the past few years, Muyiku has been teaching his family group in a village down river from us. Since 1984 this group has outright refused to listen to God’s Word! Now, however, his father, brothers, sisters and spouses are listening and have believed the Gospel message! They are now challenging others to listen to the teaching as well. Praise the Lord with us for this wonderful news!
A CLOSED DOOR
We mentioned in our last update that we were praying about making a “quick” visit to the US. Thank you to all of you who prayed for us in this.
We spent hours trying to figure out a way to use our miles to make this trip but have gotten nowhere. We also checked on purchasing tickets, but the cost is too much for just a one month trip. We and our children are disappointed, but we trust God’s hand.
The Higaunon New Testament
Work continues on preparing the Higaunon New Testament for print. Thanks for your prayers! We hope to see this finished up soon and on its way to the printer in the US!
Thank you for your partnership in this ministry! Thank you for continuing to PRAY.
Secure in Christ alone,
Lance & Laura
