Scott Phillip – Interview

This is an interview that my good buddy Chris Jones put together.  Chris, and his wife Evie, are currently finishing missionary training and are  preparing  to head overseas to do tribal church-planting in Indonesia.  Chris and Evie had a chance to hang out with  Scott and Jennie Phillips who are missionary’s working among the Dao people of Indonesia.  They have been working in the Dao tribe for several years now and God has been doing amazing things!  Check out this great interview as Chris asks what he can expect as he and Evie head to the mission field.

Make sure to check out their websites!

Moi Tribe – Testimonies

In the past I shared this video with you about the Moi tribe called AYAYO:

However, NOW you need to check out this exciting new video that shares the stories and testimonies of the Moi people as the Word of God has reached the Moi Tribe!

The Moi church in Indonesia has increased greatly after missionaries heard testimonies from more than 80 Mois who declared their faith in Christ when the Gospel was presented the end of September.

For seven weeks, people came from more than 20 hamlets, leaving their homes and gardens so they could hear eight Moi Bible teachers and missionary Rich Brown present the Creator’s Talk.

The total number of believers now consists of more than half of the adult and teenage population within a days hike from the village that first heard God’s Word.

Falling for Waukesha

Fall is here!  We have been in awe of all the brilliant colors that have transformed our neighborhood.  It’s just an amazing sight for us Californians to see.  Bree had a few minutes the other day and took some great shots.  Enjoy!

PNG Independence Day

Bree and I had a great opportunity to fellowship with many Papua New Guinea (PNG) MKs and New Tribes PNG staff on September 16th for the 35th annual PNG Independence Day!  PNG gained independence from Australia in 1975 and enjoys an extravagant celebration every year.  The PNG MKs are used to watching and participating in giant celebrations where many tribes come out to demonstrate their special elaborate decorations, dances, and rituals. 

This year, we all got together at a local park and had a traditional “Mu Mu” meal which usually consists of pig, chicken, greens, and vegetables.  Some even brought coconuts and demonstrated how to cut it open “PNG style”.
