This has been a great week, as we’ve been privileged to hear from Vern and Carla Sterk, missionaries who have been working with indigenous Indians in southern Mexico for nearly four decades! Their class was entitled “Mission Across Cultures”, and their knowledge of this subject is expansive. I (Kandy) was blessed to be able to … More Learning From the Pros and Planning for a Move
Jeremy and Sam were blessed to be able to spend several days in Mexico this past week. They left home on Monday afternoon and returned around lunchtime on Thursday.

The Sanders family is doing well down here on the border. Jeremy was privileged to be in class this week with one of our favorite teachers, David Morris.

It’s hard to believe that we’ve been in Papua, New Guinea for four weeks already! Our family has been able to do many fun and interesting things since we’ve been in PNG. The Goroka Cultural Show was a wonderful exhibition of many people groups, each performing a Sing-Sing in their Tok Ples (native language). So … More Farewell PNG, For Now
Our family has been in the highlands of Papua, New Guinea for a week, and we’re all doing very well so far. The trip here was long, but fortunately the three flights were uneventful.

The sun rises and we stretch ourselves long, finally free of another restless night. Our toes and fingertips brush the mosquito nets which surround us, and we hear the sounds of roosters crowing, donkeys braying, Miguel outside sweeping the dirt. Children scramble down the mountainside with the day’s wood, and the smell of cooking fires … More A Good Day
We have been in Haiti for almost a week and the GFBC team left this morning. It’s been a busy week but the next two weeks will probably be much slower.

Our family has been back in Sweet Home Alabama since Saturday, June 9th. So far, we have had a very productive and fun visit to our home state.

It has been wonderful to reconnect with so … More On Our Way to Haiti
After much prayer, research, and advice from our pastors, God has led our family in the decision to go to Papua, New Guinea (PNG), for the purpose of planting churches among unreached tribal groups. With over 800 tribal languages in the country and terrain that separates these tribes from the outside world, the need for … More Headed to PNG
