Welcome to the HougerHome.com homepage!

The focus of this website is to introduce Weldyn and Barb Houger to you and the vast mission field of Asia Pacific Region. It is their desire that this means of communication will keep you informed of what is happening in the lives of Weldyn and Barb.

Weldyn and Barb teach at Northwest University (Kirkland, WA) as the Missionary in Residence (MIR). They will serve in this position from the fall of 2007 to the spring of 2009. The MIR position allows them to teach classes, mentor students, and have many one on one sessions with students interested in missions and cross cultural ministries.

Weldyn and Barb are Associate Directors for the Asia Pacific Education Office (APEO). The focus of this ministry is on Bible Colleges throughout the Asia Pacific Region. This ministry will concentrate on faculty development, e.g. helping the teachers to become more integrative in their teaching. Furthermore, assistance will be given in the area of theological curriculum relevancy. All theological curricula is to be relevant to Asian societies and concerns, which include the postmodern youth, the laborers, the farmers, the working class, and the professionals.

Please take time to look through the various pages of the website. From time to time we will add new pictures. Please feel free to download the pictures for use in your church bulletin or newsletters, Sunday School communiqués, or any mission related publications.

Weldyn and Barb’s compassion and vision is to disciple and train Asians for full time ministry, as well as for preparation to serve in the local church. They desire to train Asians to reach Asia!

Please take time to review the prayer requests. This year the prayer requests will be people focused oriented. We want you to know some of the people and to pray earnestly for them. These prayer requests are updated once every four to six weeks. We desire to see the Kingdom of God expanded and reaching into all people groups. Prayer is the key for church planting, harvesting, and an essential element to maintain a Christian presence within the local community.

Here is the latest on little Sage (Singapore):

Dear Friends

Update on Sage...

He is not doing so well today. He can't tolerate his milk and keeps vomiting them out.

At present, he is not on the liver recipient list yet as he must be cured of his infections first..

Please press on in our prayers...

Mongolia: We just received notice THURSDAY that every religious registered organization is going to inspected by 5 different Mongolian Government agencies. The government has given notice that next week someone needs to be in the office of all Christian organizations so that whenever the 5 inspectors come to investigate they will have access to ALL the books. From finances to charter members, everything will be analyzed. The inspection of the books is not being done by the local police. Instead it is the top representatives from 5 separate agencies who will be working together to investigate the churches. Yesterday, we spoke with one of our Mongolian pastors who stated, “The government has given no explanation ‘Why?’”

Thailand: Thank you for your prayers! Here is the current update on the situation and news from near Umpang, 4 hours south of Mae Sot.

At a different location south of Mae Sot, 1,200 Karen are trapped on a mountain on the Thai side of the border. The Burmese Army is waiting on the Burma side and the Thai army won't let them come down on the Thai side. The Thai army did allow food and blankets to be distributed, though.

Thanks!
