Terima kasih for the joy of teaching

By Dr Greg Lockwood | 0 comment | Categories: Malaysia Sabah, Volunteers and Supporters

The first Bahasa word I learned during my visit to Borneo was ‘awas’ meaning ‘watch out’.

Growing on the world stage

By Elsa Matthias | 0 comment | Categories: Indonesia, Mission Workers, Volunteers and Supporters
