That's all folks!

Time's up! We are saying goodbye to the Philippines now. It doesn't feel like that much time has gone by, and yet when I think about all that we've done in the past 2 years...it's a lot! We are sad to leave our home here and friends who have become our family.

Our Nehemiah Team members are almost home now and we are so grateful for their faithfulness to come and serve with us! God did amazing things in a short amount of time through the teams! Many, many people heard the gospel of Jesus Christ and many people believed in Jesus as their personal Savior. Bibles were given to many people in their own language, the Jesus film was watched in multiple villages and people were baptized. Please pray that seeds planted will grow and that those who chose to trust in Jesus as their Savior would continue to grow in their faith! Also, please pray that the Nehemiah Teams students would live out their commitments to continue working for God to be known by all peoples of the world.

Here's a few pictures of our time with the teams and enjoying break with them last month!



Joe's Nehemiah Team in 2012 spend time studying God's word with Nanay (grandma) and we were able to visit her last summer and again this summer. We enjoyed getting to see her again!
