So, my dear brothers and sisters, be strong and immovable. Always work enthusiastically for the Lord, for you know that nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless. - 1 Corinthians 15:58 (NLT)
Dear loved ones,Thank you for your encouragement and for the sacrifices you make to love our family through your prayers and partnership.
We are celebrating with the Gumawana people of Papua New Guinea (PNG) who dedicated the New Testament in their language this month. Praise God with us! We also celebrated as a community, on
Sunday, all the Scripture portions produced by SIL translation teams in Papua New Guinea this last year. God truly is faithful!
