Thank you for your interest in our ministry, your prayers and support. Here is our latest prayer letter, with a report on what has been happening, some plans for the future, a trip, and photos of the kids!

Last month we created a short video for one of our supporting churches and thought we would share this with others interested in our ministry. This brief video has an update on our family and some stories of what GoodSeed is doing around the world.
Yesterday we were outside working in t-shirts. Today we had a snow-fall warning!
The kids were up early this morning and were using flashlights to see the snow outside.
Fall is harvest time!
Naomi has been hard at work all summer planting, weeding, and watering her raised gardens.
Here is how Naomi’s raised gardens beds at our house looked back in August.
Strawberries, corn, beets, tomatoes, celery, onions, carrots, peppers, cucumbers, squash, parsnips, zucchini…..
Hidden in the flower beds around the house we also had potatoes, lettuce, peas (eaten by pests), herbs, grapes.
Funny looking parsnips and carrots.

The corn experiment… not enough heat I think.
Next it was out to a friends farm for the rest. Potatoes, onions, onions, more onions, monster carrots, and beets.
The monster….
Thankfully, we won and we get to eat the carrot and not the other way around.
Thank you Lord for the harvest!
This past weekend we had the official launch for a new book: “In-ká-hai“. We are quite excited about this new book!
“In-ká-hai” is the true-life story of Pete and Leah Humphreys who spent 17 years working in the arid Chaco region of Paraguay. They were Bible teachers to the Manjúi. These tribal people had no knowledge of the Bible and were steeped in their traditional beliefs.
Despite being very careful to teach the Bible clearly, the Humphreys encountered problems. The Manjúi put on a veneer of Christianity but underneath, they clung to their animistic beliefs. They were mixing two belief systems together. What could Pete and Leah do? The Manjúis’ eventual trust in Jesus is an exciting story of front line ministry in action.
Learn what the Humphreys did to overcome the challenges and, more importantly, see how it is applicable to ordinary believers anywhere in the world today.
Our video department intern, Ken, was tasked with creating a trailer to explain and promote the book and we think he did a great job. The video is only 1:57 long, so please check it out.
God bless
Troy & Naomi
