Some Days are Like That

I woke up that morning with high hopes. I was almost finished with my work in the lowlands and was looking forward to an early departure so I could get home in time for my daughter Jilin’s fifteenth birthday party.

Field News: March 2009

This last Sabbath, I had the privilege of being back in the mountains and attending church in Kamantian. It was nice to be barefoot, sitting on the hard bamboo floor with little children crawling all over me.

The Good Race

This is the story of two everyday Virginia girls who lead normal lives and thought they might be able to do something to help someone else while they were at it. It’s a simple story, but it’s mine. My name is Christina.

New Opportunities in Palawan

My first trip to Kamantian began way back in 1995. I’ll never forget how overwhelmingly difficult it seemed at the time to climb up the mountain and into the valley.
