Maliyali!

October 10, 2022

Maliyali After years of learning the culture and the language of the Maliyali people, the missionary team is finally able to communicate the most important message in the world! Starting at the beginning of the story (Genesis means “beginning”), they have made it as far as Exodus 10. The Maliyali had this to say about the king, Pharoah: “This […]

25 Years!

July 23, 2022

25 Years! God has been gracious to give us 25 years together! Kuyu Allocation! It’s always a special time here in Papua New Guinea when we have a new tribe that will be reached!

What is Next?

June 2, 2022

What is Next? It’s hard to believe, but our baby Kaili will graduate high school in a year! It will also be time for our home assignment (furlough). This time, though, instead of traveling and speaking, we’re plugging right back into ministry in Waukesha, Wisconsin. Because it will take some time to get all three […]

On the Other Side

We’ve come to the end of a long workday. Everything is busy and bustling as usual, just like any other day. Oh, and it’s Thanksgiving Day.

Crazy Days

July 24, 2021

Crazy Days So much for our plans… We ended up bringing the whole family back! Kiera had been seeing the doctor in PNG about her wrist, and after many appointments over the last 6 months, he recommended an orthopedist. So, kinda last minute, we booked tickets for Stacy and the girls to join Kobe and […]

Summer Plans

April 24, 2021

Kobe Graduating! He just turned 18. Crazy, right? He’ll be attending Ethnos360 Bible Institute in Wisconsin. Pray for him to learn all that he needs to learn in order to survive on his own in America. We’ll be half a world away in Papua New Guinea! I’m sure he could use your prayers. Summer Plans […]
