Today we had a “despedida” (farewell) for Rick and Pam Box and their daughter Hannah, who will be heading to Texas in about a month to get their support account back in the black.

Hello All,
All of the videos on the mpegs page now work (I had some problems uploading them awhile back), and I have added a new short called “UNAM on a Thurday afternoon in April” put together from about 20 minutes of footage I took yesterday. I should be coming out with more “updative” material […]

Seems like they are claiming a pretty big endorsement there, doesn’t it?
Bob & Gwen Longacre came for a visit to Mexico City…
They came to see people from the 22,000 strong Trique language group, into whose language Bob translated the New Testament.
Here in the picture, you can see Bob and Gwen, their son Esteban, Bob’s fellow linguist Jerry, and in the front row Trique pastor Felipe […]
