Tom and Candice Scatliff

Merry Christmas, everyone!

UPDATE: For those of you that have been following Candice on Facebook, our littlest guy William was admitted to the state children’s hospital in Indianapolis this weekend with some perplexing lab results that indicated a serious health concern. They did a bunch of investigations over the weekend, but sent us home today! The labs still […]

God provided!  ✅ Safety, health, and traveling mercies while on the road for the past five weeks, raising support in Manitoba!  ✅ The additional funding required to start serving with Global Outreach Mission!  ✅ Great time of connection with supporters, friends, churches, and family!  ✅ Work visas (for the new organization) to continue serving in […]

Our first mission trip was to Sihanoukville, Cambodia with a herd of young adults back in 2007. On that trip I learned the Southeast Asian expression Same Same, but Different.

Believe it or not, it is as simple as a regime of antibiotics. A treatment using antibiotic medication can treat leprosy and stop the disease in its tracks. Course […]

We’re returning to Impfondo, in the Republic of Congo! Why? To assist Pioneer Christian Hospital, a 75-bed missionary hospital that serves a very low resource population, in a variety of ways… A virtual tour of Pioneer Christian Hospital. First, the hospital feeding program that we established while there two years ago is now entering stage […]

On New Year’s Eve we sat around the fondue pot dipping chunks of broccoli into gooey cheese and reminiscing over God’s goodness in 2018.  To be honest, the year had its challenges, but hindsight reveals how much of God’s goodness we would have missed out on had we never received the challenges to begin with. […]
