Dr. Jim Lo and Chairman Joe Trussell enjoyed visiting Ecuador during their recent exploratory trip. Doug and Bridgette Wallace have hearts of love for the Waodani, and they were able to introduce Dr. Jim and Pastor Joe to some wonderful brothers and sisters in Christ. In part because there is such a strong Christian presence there already connected with other mission organizations, the World Mission Board has decided not to pursue this ministry at this time.

For the last two years, safety concerns led to canceling the annual convention in Ghana. This is a time meant to encourage and strengthen the 7 village churches.

Time spent away from the teams in the villages is both needed and useful. It’s not as ‘glamorous’ to work day after day at the desk in the little rented office, but without that background work the overall translation program would be greatly impoverished. One example of the things that get done is the Solos Dialect Survey th

My eyes were glued. What I was watching was so powerful that I found myself attentively taking in every word that was being spoken.  George Otis, Jr., the narrator for the video entitled “Transformations,” was saying, “ True spiritual revival is like a seething lava flow. It takes time to reach its destination. But when it does, its intense heat and formidable power alter everything in its path. It is the full measure of God’s kingdom come to earth.”  He then proceeded to tel
