The beginning of our home assignment has settled down to daily life in Michigan. After some truly blessed visits to family and churches for a couple months, we're now focused on harvesting cherries and fully appreciating God's gift of Lake Michigan beaches.
Meanwhile I remain quite occupied with:
Learning Modern Standard Arabic (evidenced by my growing vocabulary flashcard deck).
Managing the construction of the Gethsemane Middle School from a distance.
Working on Bagirmi Bible translation.
Praise the Lord for the arrival of two new Middle School teachers in Boudamasa! Our new English teacher with his wife and our new Math teacher have joined our community and are busy farming over the summer to prepare for the school year.
Peace, Nathanael

Bagirmi Creation Book
Bagirmi Creation Book
Our friends and neighbors are hearing the story of Creation and the Fall in their own language in our newly published Genesis story book. For many children and adults, this is the first book they have ever held, and certainly the first illustrated book they have ever seen. The story of God starts here, and continues in the lives of the this un-reached people.
Gethsemane School
Gethsemane School
Our seventh year of the Gethsemane school is beginning--and we're building a Middle School! We are so grateful.

Story Project
Story Project
The Word gives life! So we continue to work in Bible translation as needed. Currently we are facilitating a "Story Project", to teach Bible stories to local people that they retell naturally in their own languages and record for distribution.
