God Of Thunder

February 1, 2011

“Father, when I see the things you’ve made I understand more about you. When I hear the thunder I say of You, “You are strong.” These words are from a song translated into the Simbari language to the tune of “How Great Thou Art“ which the believers love to sing when they come together to […]

How big is an amoeba? And why do I care?

January 29, 2011

An amoeba is 14 microns big, but can fit through a hole that’s only 7 microns big. And since a micron is 1/1000thof a millimeter, that’s very small! Amoebas and Water Filtration Why do I care about amoebas? It’s one of the many things I’ve learned in my Missionary Technology class these last two weeks. […]

Endings Lead to Beginnings

January 23, 2011

I’ve seen this in life, I’ve seen it in history, and I see it in God’s plan for us. For all who believe in Jesus Christ (His death, burial, and resurrection on behalf of your sin), the end of this earthly life is the beginning of eternity in the presence of our God and of […]

The Island

January 21, 2011

I am dripping in sweat and have just come inside after spending over an hour doing half of our laundry- “tribal living style”. That is to say I just used a twin tub washer for the very first time. Of course when we went through missionary training we where shown the in’s and outs of […]

Before I Go

January 14, 2011

The time has come-I can hardly believe it. Tomorrow I, along with our friend Aimee and my sweet little boy will be once again climbing onto an airplane. (It’s amazing to think that EXACTLY 5 months ago we arrived in PNG!) When we land at our destination I will be overjoyed to see Tom again […]

A New Year!

January 11, 2011

It’s a New Year! A new year for new challenges, new opportunities, and new blessings! We have had a really good break from school and we praise the Lord for the wonderful family time we’ve had with Charity and BJ here! It has been good to catch up on their lives and we’ve made some […]

Hut Sweet Hut?

January 10, 2011

One of the most interesting differences between the lives of Americans and lives of the people of Papua New Guinea is that of the homes we live in. In this particular blog we want to give you a deeper insight into the home of a typical Papua New Guinean in general. This topic has proved […]

Amamas Bilong Krismas

December 18, 2010

Jude is grinning and dancing around the living room on his tippy toes to the happy tune of one of the many Christmas songs he has learned to love. “Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!” I listen to the wonderful Christmas classic as I look out our window at hundreds of palm tree’s, a blazing sun, and feel the 115 degree humid heat hitting me. I could bake some Christmas cookies but I don’t really want to make my house even hotter so I just stand here and think about what this Christmas is going to be like and about all the things God has already done for us to make it...

Who is He?

December 18, 2010

It has been an amazing semester at NTBI, studying through many of the New Testament epistles (letters), including Hebrews, Romans, Galatians, Ephesians, 1st and 2nd Peter, and several more! One of the things that has impressed us the most is the reminder and exhortation by the instructors to keep this question in mind and heart […]

A New Teammate

December 11, 2010

We found out over a month ago that Beth is expecting and as of right now, and is about twelve weeks along. Last month the mission doctor visited our center from another region and he brought an ultrasound machine with him. So, we got to see the baby and even see the little heart beating! […]
