Welcome to the world of the Wild brothers!

Brothers Morgan, Hudson, Kian, and Asher Wild have grown up in the jungles of Southeast Asia. They, and their parents Mike and Libby, are missionaries to a remote tribe on the island of Papua sharing the good news of Jesus! They homeschool in their home in the jungle and explore the world around them, even collecting insects for scientists. They have made a scientific discovery, and were the first to collect a particular butterfly!

I have been fascinated watching what life is like for these missionaries from Florida, as they have taken on many aspects of the tribal culture, and are devoting their lives to the Lord and living for Him. They have been, and continue to be, such an encouragement to me. When I watch them in these DVDs, or read their writings on their blog, it makes me want to live for the Lord practically and daily. The four brothers are such fun to watch and learn from. They are a wonderful encouragement to follow the Lord while young and not to waste that time. Their parents also, are tremendous examples of doing what God says, trusting Him with their lives and the lives of their sons.

As a bonus to these DVDs, they keep up a blog! (On the Answers in Genesis website). These posts range from informative, encouraging, interesting and fun, to challenging, insightful and thought provoking, often with an overlap of any of these. 

It’s amazing to see and read of what goes into the task of learning a language and culture, and then to learn of how Mike and his colleague translate the Bible into the tribal language. How awesome it is to know of this specific story where God has changed so many lives as they have heard of Jesus!

As a young woman, I am additionally thankful for Libby’s example. She is a blessing to me as I see her faithfulness to the Lord in all the roles of wife, mom, and missionary.

Oh, and I did a little research on California laws…I so want a Common Spotted Cuscus! It is so cute!! Unfortunately, I won’t be getting one.
