April 17, 2014

As we were leaving PNG for our trip back to America for furlough (now officially called Home Assignment), we were able to stop by the New Tribes center on the coast where we spent our first several years.

After so many years of preparing and planning, it’s really happening!

Decisions, Decisions, Decisions!!

For several years now (dating back to our time in the New Tribes training in Jersey Shore, PA and then also in Missouri) we have been asking the Lord to provide a good team for us to join in this effort to take the Gospel to a tribe of people who are still unreached. We […]
