Dear Friends and Supporters, Our home church in Duvall Washington, asked us to put together a very short video about our ministries out here in Yap. As I put together different clips, I exceeded the time frame that they asked for, and so they had to cut it shorter. I decided that I would keepContinue reading Christmas 2019

Happy 2018, everyone! Every year, we resolve to do better at sending out newsletters, and every year, we fail miserably! A lot has happened in the last few months. Among other things:
