Phil’s current work
At this time, I have set up an office in our home in Lexington, TX in order to continue work on the DVD Theological training program that I had been called to work on in Almaty, Kazakhstan. I have been able to work on the video editing and to pick up where I left off when we began our furlough trip in April. It is slow and tedious work editing tapes that have been sent to me from Central Asia but all is progressing well! This project is jointly funded through LCMS World Mission and Concordia Seminary in St. Louis, MO.
