Gaeltacht Ireland
Marina and I spent five wonderful days exploring three counties of western Ireland which have Irish-speaking communities: Mayo, Galway and Sligo.
We didn't actually hear much Irish spoken, but the scenery was stunning.
Hope you like the photos.
New Commentary for Ephesians
It has taken years of work to get to this point, and we are thrilled that the Loron Bible teachers now have another resource to help them as they teach biblical truth to the Loron people. We are trusting that the Lord will use this effort to help the Loron believers grow and mature in their walk with Him.
The book is entitled 'The unsearchable riches of Christ', taken from Ephesians 3.8, where Paul says: unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ.
We are hoping to be able to make a trip to Ivory Coast in a couple of months to deliver these books, along with lots of other Bible and literacy materials that we have been developing.
Thank you for your prayers for this project. We are now working on a commentary for the book of Galatians.

A Dander up Doan
The weather forecast said it would be a nice day on Thursday. We risked it, and they were right!

Forty two years ago...
The Lord has been so good to us, and we thank Him for His grace in our lives as we have served Him. We are so thankful for our four children and seven grandchildren.
'It's the Lord's doing, and it's marvellous in our eyes.'

How many commentaries on the book of Ephesians?
I got three hundred and thirty seven results. That's right, 337!
Over three hundred and thirty books in English explaining what the book of Ephesians, or portions of it, is all about. To be honest, I'm amazed. I had no idea that there were so many books available to chose from.
Last week we put the finishing touches to the very first verse-by-verse commentary, in the Loron language, of the book of Ephesians.
It's been a thrill to see this project come to completion after so many years of study and preparation. We are now waiting for the copies to come back from the printers. Can't wait to get them into the hands of the Loron believers in Ivory Coast.
The work has already started on the first commentary in Loron of the book of Galatians.
Yes, I just checked the online store for available commentaries for Galatians. In English there are only 75 commentaries available locally! Still pretty good, wouldn't you say?
Please pray for missionaries all over the world who are translating God's word, teaching literacy, bringing the Gospel to the lost, and developing Bible teaching materials for hundreds of ethnic groups, for the very first time.

Scary moments in Guinea
Last Tuesday, when we were travelling in Guinea, West Africa, we came to a steel bridge that was completely blocked by a large, overloaded truck that had become stuck between two girders on the bridge.
We used an alternative route. It was a pretty scary experience.
