Finally, geez wiz.



Packing up our home in Perth, in style. These are our "doctor suits" (dubbed this name by Becca's little sister Lizzy). I think you will get used to seeing us in these. :)


It looks like a lot of stuff, I agree. Considering though, 8 months, 14 people (homeschooling work included), well I am impressed.



Labok Balus is a garbage sorting slum. One of those places you don't really believe exists until the stench meets you a mile up the road. Again, not the way God intended for anyone to live. This is our family, we will start small, just by teaching, and the rest, well, it's up to us.


And for the first time ever, I would like to introduce to eggs besides the ones you use to make omelettes...what an amazing moment. These women are inquisitive and ready to learn the minute we arrive in their community.


No slum is complete without the view of a western mall.


Mowhawk child, there is no other. He is actually the chunkiest baby in the community, thank you breastmilk.


Lectures are never complete without group time, usually a time to remember. Can you tell what we are doing? Our staff are so creative.


One of our faithful mothers in the Mampang community.


"We are the crabs, your..."


This is Tenan Abang, the same slum with the view of the western mall. Don't step too far out your front door, you might get hit by a train. We are really connecting with the women of this slum, they are thirsty for teaching and love to be prayed for, they are an important and overlooked piece of their society.

Bekah, what a blessing you are, and will continue to be, to all you touch..."...as you do unto the least of these..." God's kingdom expanding, one precious woman at a time.
God Bless you all.
