Dear friends and family The start of phase 2 at Koropa got off to a slow start. Tuesday afternoon the village was deserted and no one came that night. I was a bit discouraged and wondered if anyone was going to come this week. But next morning a good group came...

Dear friends and family Tuesday night it rained so we had the lesson in the house. It was Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem on the donkey, the last supper and His betrayal and arrest. It was a small group but Robert and Ekesue were there. I didn’t see them at all last week...

Dear family and friends This week started off a bit disappointing. Tuesday night it rained so we had the lesson in the house and only three of the regulars were there. It was the feeding of the 5,000 and we went over the story again next morning before we went into...

Dear friends and family This time Heti went with me. They had some heavy rain in the Upper Bena valley so we had a bit of a slippery slidey ride up there. That night it came in to rain again so we had the lesson in the house. The lesson was the man with the withered...

Dear friends and family Heti didn’t go up again this week. He was picking his mother’s coffee. Tuesday night I taught the lesson on Jesus’ baptism. We had taught them the trinity before but this lesson gives a graphic view of the trinity and how they worked together...

Dear friends and family Heti had a bad flu so didn’t go with me again this week but that’s all right God’s grace is sufficient for the work He has for us. I was encouraged this week with numbers up again. Tuesday night we finished teaching in the Old Testament....

Dear friends and family Heti wasn’t able to go up this week so Wendy took the opportunity go. We had a larger vehicle so that made the drive a bit smoother. Wendy’s two friends at Koropa, Dolis and Ableso, wanted to come down here to see her but Wendy ended up going...

Dear friends and family The latest on our vehicle. We went out next day to take the wheel off and see what parts we need. When we took the hub apart it was full of mud. The rubber boots on the front drive shaft were split and I ordered new ones an put them on but it...

7th week of teaching at Koropa Heti contacted me on Monday and said that someone killed his pig and the court was to be on Wednesday so he wouldn’t be able to go up with me this week. Satan has many ways to try and stop things in the village situation but he can only...
