Thank you for continuing to pray for us here in Amdu and for the Amdu people as we walk them through His story. The past week we got into some tough concepts but are happy with how well everyone seemed to understand them. We told the story of God creating Adam in God’s own image […]

For all of you praying for us and the Amdu people we want to say thank you. We spent the early part of last week in the lesson about Moses and the burning bush. Reading the story from Exodus chapter three in the Amdu language was a treat for everyone. They enjoyed hearing the story […]

Last week on Monday morning we began the much awaited Bible teaching program. Instead of meeting with the whole village we met with three separate extended family lines in order to comply with the wisdom of PNG’s national leaders. The first extended family line class was well attended by the core families on that list, […]

We want to alert all of you who are praying for us and the Amdu people that more developments have affected the start of our foundational Bible teaching. We intended to gather on Tuesday and begin our teaching program but this morning we were alerted to the fact that a ban has been put on […]

Thank you for praying for us since we wrote a week ago. We flew back into the village on Monday and were warmly greeted by our friends here. After sweeping up the dirt and grime, and the graveyard of critters that visited the Roach Motel while we were gone, we had a good night’s sleep […]

“Then Jesus took them through the writings of Moses and all the prophets, explaining from all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.” Luke 24:27 This is one of my favorite stories in the life of Christ. If you haven’t read this story recently take a few minutes to read it again. The things that transpired […]

Since our last update we’ve celebrated three birthdays, our Amdu Anniversary, Thanksgiving, Christmas and the hailing in of a new year. Even here in the village away from the hubbub of the holidays we still found ourselves very busy. But it was a good busy and if anything it has made us more focused on […]

Our pilot flew a long, slow loop above the village we have called our second home away from home. We weren’t sure what condition the grass landing strip might be in so we all peered down to investigate. We could see so much more than just the landing strip from our bird’s eye view. We […]

Amdu friends of ours left the village one day on a long journey only to return later the same afternoon despite their intentions to be gone for two weeks. They said their legs got heavy and so they came home. In the Amdu universe when a person goes on a journey and their legs get […]

It’s Sunday night as I write this and we are gearing up for our second week of literacy classes. Before we launch into another week, we wanted to get an update off to you about how the first week went. It was FANTASTIC! That is the short version. Sunday afternoon, last week, as we were […]
