Kodiak Makes First Bush Landing in Amdu
Amdu received the distinction of being the first grass airstrip in PNG on which the new Kodiak landed. It was an exciting day! Please pray for our pilots as they learn the ins and outs of flying a new plane.
The Kodiak – Our Future Transportation
Some of you may remember a while back that we were asking you to pray that the Lord would provide the funds for a Kodiak airplane to be used by NTM in Papua New Guinea. We are excited to share with you that not only did the Lord provide a Kodiak, He provided three!!! The […]
The Pigs Found Our Garden
We knew it was just a matter of time. We had hacked down the dense jungle undergrowth and cleared a nice plot for our “school” garden. We planted lots of sweet potato shoots as well as corn, beans, squash (called pumpkin here), sugar cane and taro. Despite the drought that has been affecting all of […]
A Thank You from Caleb
A plane landing in Amdu is usually a big deal. Everyone comes out of the woodwork to see who or what is on the plane. When the plane is one of our NTM pilots bringing us a load of supplies, it is especially exciting for us. Usually we only have a flight every 2 or […]
Praising the Lord for Rain
It started raining in the middle of the night and it’s still raining – more than 3 inches so far! We don’t know yet what long term affect this time of drought will have on the Amdu people. They have experienced several weeks of drought and their gardens have been affected significantly.
I Gave What Good News I Had
We live in the mountains. While the airstrip in our village is relatively flat, going just about anywhere else requires a hike up or down a hill or mountain. The other villages in the Amdu language group are scattered throughout the surrounding mountains – some at a higher elevation and some lower. I recently took […]
School Garden Progress
Everything about life here in Amdu is a learning experience. We learn something new (or most often many things) every day. Sometimes it feels like we can’t fit much more new information into our brains! We feel in over our heads and have to constantly depend on the Lord for strength and wisdom. That’s a […]
Our School Garden
When you think of a garden, you most likely picture a rectangular or square plot of ground, nicely plowed and planted with straight rows of various vegetables. Each row might even have a little sign at the end denoting what is growing there. Our Amdu friends have gardens, but they probably don’t look anything like […]
The Goodbye We Hoped To Never Say
Because of the enormity of the workload involved in tribal church planting, New Tribes most often recommends that a team be made up of three families. When you factor in furlough schedules, it often ends up that for the majority of the time only two families are working in the tribe together. Back in early […]
HE is Worthy!
For the last few weeks our family has been out in a town along the coast where one of our NTM centers is located. Each year all the missionaries from our area of Papua New Guinea (PNG) get together for an annual conference (as well as standardized testing for our kids). Our theme this year […]
