In the next few posts, I thought I’d give you a glimpse into the life of each one of us, now that we’re back in Ukarumpa. First off, Luke!
- Luke started 9th grade on July 22nd. There are only six boys in his class!
- He and the other five boys are in a community group that meets Wednesday nights, led by two of the dads. The dads want the boys over the course of the year to learn how to study the Bible and to discover how great it is to love Christ. Yes!
- Luke has learned to ride our motorbike. He and John have gone off center several times now for long rides – through mud AND beautiful scenery. Thankfully no major mishaps yet.
- Luke is playing on the school’s volleyball team with his two brothers, Joey and Kairu. We think the tennis he plays has helped him with the skill of serving and spiking a volleyball.
Please pray for Luke to continue to follow God, to deepen his friendships, and know how much he is loved. Thanks!

As a friend and colleague, thanks for the update on Luke. I remember teaching my girls how to ride motorbike in the Philippines. Looking forward to your next blogs and how the rest of you are doing. Just came back from a week in Orlando at a TWC with four of my teams to debrief.
Warmly,
Hutch

Great idea, Brena! Just think, Luke is well underway in his school year already. Kay’s two daughters start high school Monday the 10th. Soooo early! We enjoyed part of a week at the beach with our whole family….lots of bodies….it was special except for Jim’s bad back, ug.
Bless you all!
