Guest speaker Merrilee Goins joined us in an interview-style sermon with Cathleen Parks.

After 10 years at that location, she joined linguists who were reaching out to an uncontacted group in the jungle. In the year 2000, she became part of a team working to get the Scripture to the Nahua/Yura people in their language. Now Merrilee is helping produce materials to encourage the Nahua/Yura people to read Scripture.
