Nathan and Rachel Allen “The harvest is great, but the workers are few. So pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest; ask him to send more workers into his fields.”
All bundled up
Finally in January we got lots of snow. We took the opportunity to PLAY in it by going sledding. To make it even more fun we invited a girl from our youth group and Nathan’s sister’s family. Afterwards Nathan’s mom had a stew waiting for us. We gobbled it right up because everyone knows that sledding is hard work =)

The Village
Wayumi = To go to a specific place, for a specific time, for a specific purpose. We had the opportunity to lead a group of 17 people to one of the first weeks of Teen Camp at Wayumi in Jersey Shore. (more…)
Youth Day is a fun pack twelve hour day for teens to get a better idea of what God is doing among unreached people groups and how they can be part of His work. Nathan got to be the Master of Ceremonies this year. He brought two Bible school students as well as two teens from our youth group to join in on the days activities. They all had a blast. Below is a photo journal of the day. (more…)
All the details fell into place – administrate an Easter Egg Hunt, welcome family from out of town and 2 large family get togethers. Although we had a busy Easter weekend, it was very satisfying. (more…)
new friends
long time friends
One of the advantages of ministering in the states is seeing your supporters more often. Since we have a large concentration of people who support us in a variety of ways that live in PA, we like to make a trip out there once a year.
Had fun playing with other kid`s cool toys
Although it is always very busy; it is also extremely enjoyable.
of course we were fed well!
My favorite part, by far, is the depth of conversations we get to have with these precious folks. Some we have only met a few times, but the commonality of Christ provides no end of encouraging and challenging things to discuss.
Wayumi
Wayumi is the name of the NTM Mobilization program that is located in Jersey Shore. The name comes from a people group in Venezuela that means the act of going away to another place for a time. While staying on Wayumi’s campus, Nathan was able to attend several sessions of their program for a group that was there. It was incredibly exciting.
