"Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." 2 Corinthians 4:16-18

Maliyali, here we come!

We are so thankful to announce that we have chosen "our" tribe!  God has led us to Maliyali...the one that Nathan and David first surveyed back in September. We have spent MUCH time in prayer and discussion within our team, and with our leadership.  We feel confident that we want to spend the next decades of our lives among the Maliyali people.  For God's fame and our joy. We are feeling very thankful, excited, and VERY overwhelmed.  Thank you for your continued prayers and support! We need it!  There is a lot that goes in to allocating into a remote jungle tribe...we will share more of that in the future.

Please check out this video, which we already shared on facebook.  It shows the last survey that our men took into Maliyali, in which they told the people that we are coming to live among them.  David did a fantastic job on it!
 Click here to watch it!


We love you all so much, and we thank God every day for the love and support you give us!
