Mission Stories

Dear Family and Friends, It has been a long time since we were able to write to you. God has been moving steadily forward and sometimes we have struggled to keep up.

Every sincere Christian that I know seems to have a short list of bible promises that they cling to when times get tough, or when they face an overwhelming situation.

Dear Readers, Here is a copy of a short letter I just wrote to the donor of our Cessna 340A mission plane. It is short and with the pictures, a bit interesting.

Mr G lives in a small house nestled at the foot of Shivapuri forest located within few kilometers from the Budhanilkantha where there is that famous statue of a deity that is built in the midst of pond with the carvings of snakes forming the bed wherein is seen lying the deity worshiped and respected by many locals and the country people.

Early Friday morning, we boarded the bus to Kelo. From there we changed vehicles and got an another mini-bus headed to Pala. We enjoyed the trip a lot because the scenery was different than we are used to.

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.
