God Answered – Now What?

September 2, 2011

We serve an amazing and loving Lord who cares about the things that concern His children!! Many of you have been praying for us about the decision regarding joining a tribal team that we have been investigating over this past year. Thank you, thank you, thank you!! We have seen the Lord clearly answer those […]

July 2011 Prayer Requests

July 20, 2011

We recently sent out a report to our supporting churches which included some current prayer requests. We wanted to share them on here as well. If you pray for us, would you talk to the Lord about the things mentioned below? The decision about joining a tribal team. We have shared in the past few […]

Waiting…

July 10, 2011

Do you like to wait? Most people would probably answer a resounding “no” to that question. Even though we often see the value or benefit that results, waiting for something that you are really looking forward to is often hard. Well, we are in a waiting phase right now. For any that are new to […]

Mom, get me out of this thing!!!

June 7, 2011

Here in PNG, just about anything can be carried in a bilum (string bag) – vegetables, firewood, pigs, babies… and lots more!

Settling In Again

May 27, 2011

We’ve been back in PNG for just over a week now!! And we’re still working on the unpacking and reorganizing. I’ve found that unpacking with a 4 month old baby is not that much different than packing up with a 3 month old – everything just takes longer. But that’s okay! Everyone is adjusting well […]

Last to Board – But We Made It!!

May 16, 2011

No matter how many times we move and how much we try to get things done ahead of time, it always seem to come down to the wire! And it was no different this time!! After a short night of sleep, we woke up on Wednesday with a few last minute things to do. We […]

Mail for Caleb

March 10, 2011

A few weeks ago, at 6 weeks of age, Caleb received something in the mail that gave him special distinction in the Allen family! He became the member of our family who received his passport at the earliest age! Now we’re just waiting for his entry permit (visa) for Papua New Guinea and we’ll be […]

Caleb has arrived!

January 26, 2011

Our little Caleb arrived on 1/11/11 – about 3 weeks early!! He weighed 7 lb. 9 oz., was 21 in. long and has lots of dark hair. We are all adjusting to life with a newborn, but we are doing well.

Back in PA

December 3, 2010

After a long, fairly smooth and uneventful trip, we are settling in to life in snowy Pennsylvania again!! Thank you for praying for us as we prepared to leave Papua New Guinea and then as we traveled. Here are few photos of our trip: A few funny things that have happened since we’ve been back: […]

The New Normal

November 1, 2010

When we leave Papua New Guinea and head back to the States in the middle of November, we will have been here just a few weeks short of a year. In thinking back through our first year on the field and in anticipation of adjusting back to U.S. culture, we thought we’d share with you […]
