Can you imagine stepping out of your church into the church at Corinth before Paul wrote his letters...???

We're in a culture that has had...

Domination, Abuse, Slavery, Killing, Hate by the Portuguese

Civil War, Marxism, and mass starvation & killings 1975 - 1992

Centuries of Satan's lies,

Now years later they are scarred by their past, traumatized, trying to survive, prisoners of Satan, destroyed by the sin they live in - Romans 1:22-32.

Missionaries with experience here all say, "This is a country where things do not happen fast. Change... well... Transformation... comes slowly and only with a long term commitment over the long haul."

Pray for us. We're in over our heads. We have nothing of ourselves to offer. We need the grace of Christ in a most desperate measure to reach those dead and trapped in deceptions. They need Truth. They need Grace. They need the love of the crucified Savior and the power and wisdom of the Resurrected Christ.

Pray....

Dearest Family,

Surprise!

A couple weeks ago, Wallula Christian Church in Leavenworth (Kansas), asked if we could make a 3 – 4 minute video about the ministry here. As people come in this Sunday morning, they will show their missionaries’ videos. After returning from our latest trip to the bush churches, we threw things into high gear and … walaah!!! The Lord blessed us with a video. After the first minute of introductions we head out to the bush. Join us! This should give you a little taste of life and ministry here in Africa.

You can see it on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4pqtOTHYMo

You may also download one of the following versions from our website. It’s only 4 minutes.
