Nearing the End

October 26, 2016

Our furlough is almost over, and it has been a good one. Lots of travel and sharing, lots of resting and fun. And, for me, lots of doctor appointments. I have never before experienced the freedom that comes with meeting your insurance deductible! I’ve had an ultrasound, a surgery, a colonoscopy, an MRI, and a […]

Sometimes life throws curveballs

September 22, 2016

We are on the home stretch of furlough. We have traveled the country speaking and sharing with our supporters all that God is doing among the Pal people of Papua New Guinea. We have enjoyed rest and relaxation and feel recharged. Our tickets are bought for our return to PNG in January. And now the […]

Done Trippin’

August 11, 2016

Seven o’clock in the morning we woke up in Buffalo, WY. We dragged ourselves from our beds, stuffed some grub into our mouths, and repacked the van for the eleventy zillionth time. At least it would be the last time. We were on the road by 8 am. By 8:10 we were stopped for a […]

FW: Going Off-Road

April 30, 2016

We are back! Our month-long road trip through the eastern and southern US is over. We enjoyed so much wonderful hospitality from many of you, and we enjoyed meeting with our supporting churches and individuals – many of them for the first time! We were blessed by the enthusiasm with which our reports were met, […]

Home, or something

January 23, 2016

After a wonderful time with family over the holidays, we moved into our apartment in St. Bonifacius. Thanks to the people of Freshwater Church for supplying so much of what we needed to set up camp here. We have everything we need, and we’re unpacked and settling in. So, we will be calling this place […]

Pal Baptisms

December 13, 2015

In short – 2 different days, 230 Pal men, women, and teenagers declared publicly their faith in Jesus Christ. During the first half of this year we taught through the book of Acts sharing with the Pal people how God’s gospel spread from Jerusalem to Judea, Samaria, and the ends of the earth. They […]

Micah’s Update

November 2, 2015

Hello, it’s me, Micah again, out for all you PAL fans. I am writing another blog for whoever wants to look at it. I hope they find it interesting. Well, there’s been a lot going on in Pal. We are getting very close to furlough, and we have started packing up already, even though we […]

New Life

September 7, 2015

This morning, a quiet old man stood up after church and said, “God gumə ənə peme kekevat gagəb.” (“God himself is our joy.”) In that simple statement, I was struck once again by the fact that I am being allowed to witness something I had never experienced before – a believer being taught the Word […]

Beautiful Days

July 4, 2015

For as ugly as Pal can be during much of the year (wind, rain, fog, mud) it can be just as beautiful this time of year. We are entering the dry season and enjoying the sunshine. Three straight gorgeous days have dried up the chopper pad and the trails around our area. It sure is […]

The Blog of Micah

June 11, 2015

My name is Micah. This is a blog about me and my life. I hope you enjoy it. If you don’t, throw your computer in the trash. In Pal, it is almost always muddy, and is just about raining all the time. Me and my friends, the Claasen boys, Timmy, Elias, and Noah, like to […]
