The Work Continues

The last couple weeks, I have had many FB memories popping up about summer teams we've had here working with us to reach the tribals. It's sad that we can't have one this summer because of travel restrictions, but as I look through the pictures from our tribal partners, it is so incredibly exciting to see the work continuing. It feels like every other week, there is another post about new baptisms and new Bible studies starting. They have seen more baptisms in the past few months than in the last 8 years combined! While covid restrictions have been so incredibly difficult, it is such an encouragement to see God at work and people so eager to hear the good news.
A couple weeks ago, we faced the sudden death (heart attack) of one of our closest tribal friends and partners in the work. It was incredibly difficult and still impossible to understand from an earthly perspective. However, we trust that God is sovereign and will continue His work. Please pray for his wife and two daughters as well as our partners in Bugkalot coffee as they scramble to fill the massive hole that is left behind.
