Most people like the rain; the moisture of rejuvenated landscapes, the scent that emerges when the liquid mingles with dry earth. Rain, the majority of the time, is considered a blessing. Except, of course, when torrential downpour provokes landslides in the mountainous Beni district of Bolivia.

For over a year now, we’ve been faced with an ominous challenge: Come up with $26,000 for a newly overhauled Continental O470-L32B airplane engine.

This year we have a more focused vision to do a lot of Bible training in this region of Chad. We plan to conduct various short (2-3 week?) training sessions in different villages. In addition to this, we plan to distribute solar mp3 players with Scripture and other material, and we hope to set up a small printing operation.

Entonces Vendrá El Fin

Dear donors, volunteers, and media partners,

Here is the link of the video of the Baroto Festival last Sunday, Jan 26, 2014 at Bayas island.

As you remember, last November 8, the world’s biggest typhoon hit the central Philippines and as we jumped into action with air support, medical missions, and tarp/relief distribution, we were counting on you, our faithful friends and supporters to come through– and you did not fail us!

We are happy to finally be back in Chad! After some delays and a canceled flight, we finally flew out on December 15. We are now home and working on arranging and unpacking and cleaning and repairing.
