July 17, 2010

Dear Friends and Family; It is that time again to update you on the happenings of our lives and ministry here in Asia Pacific. We are racing full-steam ahead toward the day we finally move into the village! Greg just finished preparing Acts chapters 1-13 for a translation check scheduled in September. Getting Bible passages […]

Selling & Sharing

July 12, 2010

With our departure right around the corner we have been continually encouraged by the way God has been our Provider! The mission team of our sending church recently came up with a way to generate some funds to contribute towards our start up costs. They decided to have a church “garage” sale! The garage sale […]

All the Answers

July 10, 2010

God has repeatedly blessed us with the opportunity to spend time with people who are serving in the same region in Papua New Guinea as we are going! It is amazing how the timing of everything has lined up just how it should to enable these visits (wonderful how God works, eh?). Several weeks ago […]

??? Days to Departure

July 1, 2010

According to the official countdown, we have only eighteen days to go until our estimated departure date for Papua New Guinea. Wow.

Wonderful Weekend Wedding

June 30, 2010

Our Mr. Jude

June 30, 2010

Often we get asked about how Jude is doing, so I thought I would take this opportunity to be a gushing mother and tell you! Sometimes its crazy to think about how Jude is almost 15 months old now. We can’t believe how big he is getting and all the ways that he is beginning to act […]

Spilt Blood

June 28, 2010

Blood splattered everywhere! Well, it wasn’t real blood. But as Elias stabbed the sheep cutout and broke the zip-lock bag full of red-stained juice, the effect was still pretty vivid. The picture was clear. Adam and Eve had rebelled against God and a couple of leaves just weren’t sufficient. God was providing a covering, and […]

Fresh Chicken with the family

June 20, 2010

Charles and I recently had the chance to spend a little time with family in his home village. It was nice to see everyone again, now as a married couple. I had the opportunity to cook a chicken dinner with my sisters-in-law. Did I mention that I have 5 sisters now! Chickens go from the […]

Afraid to Go?

June 10, 2010

Many people have asked us if we are scared to move overseas. I suppose there are a lot of ways we could answer this question. Sure, there are times we get a bit queasy at the thought of all we will face, extreme heat, threat of disease, discouragement and so on. Inevitably though, when we […]
