D-day looming!

New family in Christ in Balintad singing praises!!

Well next month we leave Australia (Lord Willing) and take Jubab onto the USA to Bible College, visit our family and friends over there and then we head home to the Philippines. In 2014 we came home for 3 years for Jubab to complete his high school and that is exactly what God has allowed. He has been so gracious to us.

Translation wise:
*God has given us hugely good progress and we have reached our October goal and are completed up to John 8:40 .
*In November we will complete up to the end of John 12. Translating God’s Word has meant lots of long hours for us but it has been a joy for us to be in His word each day and we have learned SO SO much. – It has just been so good.

So where to from here: Key Dates.
November 3 – Jubab does his final HCS exam.
November through December 2 – We continue translating.
December 4-14 – We pack up our house, store our belongings and move to Brisbane.
December 15-30 – Christmas and time with friends and family.
December 29 – Fly to Detroit, Michigan, USA to take Jubab to Bible School.

From there we visit Deb’s Grandpa who is almost 95 now, Deb’s uncle, aunt and cousins and my step Mum as well as many dear friends. Then we see Jubab once again and depart for the Philippines.


Thanks for praying and giving and encouraging us in the Lord’s work. We continually praise our Lord for the family and team that He has placed us into for the work of the gospel and for the translating of God’s word into the Tala-Andig language.

We anxiously await being reunited with our Higaunon and Tala-Andig family in the Lord!
