Visa Bloopers

There is a lot of work that goes into moving overseas as missionaries!  I’ll tell you: Paperwork, paperwork, paperwork!  We have recently been working on getting our entry permits for PNG (Papua New Guinea) and we had to take our children’s picture for it.  Here is an inside look to what we had to go […]

Pre-evangelism

A few weeks ago, a friend of ours (already in Papua New Guinea) told us that a tribal believer was teaching HER about the book of Titus.  This sparked my interest, so I decided to revisit it and study it!  This book has consumed my thoughts lately, so I want to share it with you! […]

YOU ASKED: How much?!

YOU ASKED: How much?!

After we tell people what we are doing and the amount of time and energy it will take to reach a tribe, they inevitably ask…how much will this cost?  Our answer…$8,500 a month!  When we first got asked this question, we would sheepishly mumble “a lot.”  Now, we confidently say it, knowing that no amount […]

You asked: When and How long?

You asked: When and How long?

Two other questions we get asked is either when are you going, or how long will you be there? We are, Lord willing, leaving in January. We are already in the process of getting rid of most of our belongings to prepare for this. I will just say it’s not easy. All of these memories […]
