Well, ok, this is more of an end of October update…
For the last couple of weeks some friends and I have been cutting, hauling, and splitting firewood for our Bible School for the Nations this winter. Just this month alone we’ve been able to gather a little more than nine cords of wood.
According to a couple of websites I found, nine cords should equal 1,152 cubic feet of stacked wood. Most of what we cut up was dry white pine which should add up to around 19,800lbs; give or take some for the black walnut and the red-fir tree that we were given.
All of the wood cutting culminated in a wood splitting and stacking party we held last Saturday. I think we had over twenty-five people, four wood splitting machines, and a couple extra chain saws cut up the last long pieces of wood we hauled down. Now our community building, caboose, and two Mongolian yurts should be nice, warm, and ready for the BSN this winter!
This Bible School for the Nations will be running from January 14th through June 20th, 2014.
Specifically, this is a school that walks you through the Bible chronologically and teaches you how to share the Bible’s stories and principles with others. After the school is finished there will be several outreaches where students will be able to practice what they’ve learned. Outreaches to Mongolia, India, and a stateside outreach are all on the table!

Also, while I was working on the wood stacking, my wife was able to cook up enough food to feed everyone there! That brings us up to 35 meals of hospitality that we’ve given to others inside and outside of our mission this month!
Thanks for all of your support!
In Christ,
