Thanks for your prayers
It is because of the prayers and financial support that we receive that enables us to do the work that the Lord has called us to. Thanks for the part that you play. Here is a list of praise and prayer as of June 21.
Praise Report

- Matthew Lako has had his surgery and is nearly fully recovered.
- Shirley (Seli) Taupis is doing much better with her anemia since she started taking iron.
- We are making progress in our language learning.
- His word that renews our spirits daily.
- We received a special gift to help us repair the walls on village house and this will certainly help with security of the house as well as help relieve allergies. Replacing the outer bamboo walls should help with bat infestation, too.
