“We were in a country in Southeast Asia. After we had driven way out into the countryside, the road ended. We took motorcycles on tiny little dirt paths, through very marshy, swampy land. And then we came to a cashew farm. The people were so very remote…and there was no church. We met a family there, and the father of the family was the farmer and his name was Tan…”

I am so happy to learn about Tan and believers like him. I feel such urgency to get the message out to those who never heard the good news. I don’t know any other way to be part of a ministry. I can’t find a church with sound teaching in my part of Pennsylvania! Imagine that! What happened to the church!? Now WE need missionaries! Please pray for PA to return to our Christian heritage.

Thank you Eileen! Will be praying for this as well.
Eileen, yes it is so sad what is happening to the church in the USA. But we do have radio and we do have internet and we are without excuse!
