In the Pal tribe, there are no separate words for “house” and “home.” Saying to someone, “That is my house,” would be the same as saying, “That is my home.” But if I were to ask my Pal neighbors, “Where do you live?” I think they would be very confused. They might think, “Where do […]

Back in the Bush

June 30, 2023

Well, I’m not sure what happened, but it’s not May anymore. In fact, it’s not even June anymore. So I’m definitely behind in my blog posting. But because we spent the past three weeks in the bush, I actually have things to tell you now instead of just posting end-of-the-year pictures of the kids. Pshftsh. […]

Vacation! And Some Trouble in Paradise

Vacation! And Some Trouble in Paradise

April 1, 2023

During the kids’ recent spring break we spent a week at our mission’s center on the coast of PNG. The heat and humidity can be a bit much after the temperate climes of the Highlands, but in exchange for living in a sauna you get to go to beaches with warm water, amazing snorkeling, and […]

Growing Pains

Growing Pains

February 22, 2021

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 […]

“I couldn’t do that.”

“I couldn’t do that.”

October 1, 2020

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 […]
