In our last update we shared that God had provided all of our government paperwork to enter Papua New Guinea and that we were hoping to move in January. We have exciting news to share that we have now purchased one-way plane tickets departing on January 17th! It has been extremely difficult securing a travel route […]

We now have our work permits, entry permits, and travel exemption from the Pandemic Controller and we are officially approved to enter Papua New Guinea! We are hoping to move in early January. We are so thankful for the generous giving of each person who supports […]
