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 […]

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 […]

The day has come. We are moved out of the tribe and settled into a house on one of our mission’s centers. Eight long years crawled slowly by while living and working in the Pal tribe, but now it seems as though those years sped by in a flash. There were struggles, hardships, and many […]

In late February, four guys from our sending church – Freshwater Church – came and visited us at our home amongst the Pal people here in PNG. Despite what the title of this blog might lead you to believe, we did not eat them. Although, we did sit around and share cannibal jokes. Upon their […]
