We just arrived back into Iski-land the other day.* Our home-coming was celebrated with the discovery that our office’s charge controller had broken while we were away, so we won’t be having any power in the office until it gets fixed. We were also welcomed in by a...

Our team here among the Iski has been receiving an abundant amount of attention lately, because we have just finished up a fairly exciting season of our ministry: we just presented the Gospel to our village, in their heart language, for the first time. Lots of people...

I’m always a little wary of referencing or endorsing any Hollywood movies here on our ministry blog. If there are 5 Christians in a room, then there are usually upwards of 6 strong convictions present as to whether a certain film is appropriate to watch or not. I’ll...

Our teammates started teaching the first-ever Bible lessons in the Iski language last week! Being as we are still in the “language-learning” phase of our ministry, however, we are not really able to directly contribute to their teaching efforts a whole lot. What we...
