Some of you have been following us, praying and giving to our support for 30 years, and we want to share our celebration with you. Thank you so much for your faithfulness. You are a wonderful encouragement to us and your partnership has touched many people in many places.

We have been blessed by your friendship, supported by your prayers, amazed by your faithful support, and reminded of God’s care because you are his agents in keeping us on the field. As we work with missionaries to help them thrive long-term rather than just survive for a shorter time on the field, it is wonderful to see how you are providing the same kind of support for us.
We will be in the US on Home Ministry Assignment Oct-Mar.
