A Live Dead team member described a Christmas celebration in her technical writing class. After giving them cookies, chocolates and soda, I wrote these words on the left side of the board: traditions, Christmas tree, St Nick, gift giving and treasured memories. After explaining the secular traditions, I told them the real reason for the […]

Holding…hopeful
Live Dead team leader: Due to some difficult issues this past week in the country of our calling, our return is delayed. We are “holding” en route for a couple days. We appreciate your prayers. Some platforms have had to close but the platform in which we worked has been allowed to continue for a […]
Working to return
The countless hours we spent itinerating in our van in the States are quite a contrast to not having a vehicle here. Here we get around on foot or a taxi. For the seven of us to squeeze into a taxi is a challenge for us and entertainment for anyone around. Cozy hours in our […]
RELEASED
Update on Team Leader – He was just released! Thank you so much for praying. There is still a lot of pressure – security put stipulations on his release. We need God to intervene so we can keep our platform open and our people out of harm’s way! […]

Light through the clouds
Live Dead missionary Scott Hanson: Recently, we visited long-term team members living in Moonscape (name changed for security), an I3lamic country almost completely untouched by the gospel where Satan has ruled for centuries. The few Christians there live in fear of rejection, persecution and possible martyrdom. One of our team members has often been used […]
Doors closing?
From a Live Dead team leader: When we return in January to the country where we live and work, the atmosphere will be even more challenging. We face issues that will affect the future of the “platform”, the reason why we can live there. The officials are asking for a couple provisions we cannot accept. […]
Who are my mother, my brothers?
From the heart of a Live Dead team member: We truly enjoy what we are doing with no regrets. We find joy interacting with people who have never heard the Word. However the time between Thanksgiving and Christmas is not easy for us. We miss Christmas decorations, the crisp air of approaching winter, and the […]
