The Rescue

About three weeks ago, Napthali, our trusted Filipino Bible teacher, made his monthly visit to Kalbu in Kebgen. Kebgen is Taw’t Deram territory and very remote from civilization. So when I say Napthali “visited,” I mean he hiked narrow, precipitous trails for 10 to 12 hours through some of the most rugged country in southern Palawan.
