The first and only time I have ever done CPR on a real person was shortly after we moved into the Pal tribe. Isolated as they are from medical care, death was common for people from every demographic. At the time, we had seen a rash of women dying in childbirth, and since we were […]

While we wait out the winter, our coworkers have returned to the tropical breezes of Papua New Guinea and are plugging back into their ministries there. Nate was able to take a trip into the tribe to visit the Pal church and do some digging on some issues that have come up since we all […]

Furlough is half over. As I sit here overlooking the frozen wasteland that is central Minnesota in January, I can’t help but think about my coworkers in PNG with their flip-flops and sunglasses, going along their merry way with no snowpants on. The grass is always greener. Sometimes literally. God has been so good to […]

We will be teaching a creation to Christ course one night a week at our home church. For you who live nowhere near us, please pray for this endeavor. Pray that people will come. Pray that I will teach clearly and accurately. And pray that lives will be changed. For you that live in our […]

Independence for the Pal church has always been the goal. From day one, we knew we couldn’t live there forever, and that thought was in the back of our minds during everything we did. Last fall we made the decision as a team that it was time to remove ourselves from the daily workings of […]

We’ve been told a few times over the years, “I couldn’t do what you’re doing.” And my typical response is “I can’t either. We can’t. But God can.” Check out the linked video featuring Stephen and Candice Schroeder, and hear their story about God bringing them to Papua New Guinea. God uses weak people, wherever […]

Below is an update from our field about the helicopter program. This has a huge impact on our ministry as the only way in and out of the Pal tribe is by helicopter, (or a two day mountain trek.) Thank you for your prayers and support for the aviation program in Papua New Guinea! Because of […]

Our team office/multi-purpose building is in need of new batteries. In this building we are constantly needing power for computers, for printing Bible lessons, Scripture, and literacy materials, and for laminating book covers. Electricity in this building also allows the Pal people to solder loose wires on their flashlights and power banks, charge those items […]
