(Note: You can see updates to this post in the comments below.) Hey there prayer team, How are things? I have a couple of requests for you, real quick: I just got word that my grandfather, who is not a believer, is starting to look into the faith. He’s looked into it before, but has …
Dear Prayer Team, How are you? Just yesterday I got back from my second week-long stay in the village. I’m really starting to get used to life there. I’m able to eat the foods with more ease and know how I fit in to the family a bit better. While I haven’t found a formal …

Hello Prayer Team, Thanks for your prayers! I’m really glad to report that I’m feeling better these recent days. I was able to talk with both of my parents on Thanksgiving, spent some time with my Quechua family, and celebrated a Saturday Thanksgiving with some close ministry friends. It’s all been very meaningful. I know …
Hello prayer team, Thank you so much for your prayers. In addition to the update I put out on Friday, I would also like to share that recently I have been feeling a bit blue. I think it’s related to being far from family and home culture during the holiday season. I didn’t expect …
Hello Prayer Team, Thank you for your prayers!
