Coming Home, and then Coming Home Again

Coming Home, and then Coming Home Again

July 25, 2022

For almost the entire month of June, we were touring the country in our van to see family, supporters, and churches who have loved us and prayed for us and supported us financially for many years. We started off in Missouri, then swung down to Louisiana, then stopped in Mississippi, Kentucky, and Ohio and finally […]

A Missionary Childhood

A Missionary Childhood

June 15, 2022

This month’s blog post is a chapter of a book written by Cole and titled How to Be a Missionary Kid. He wrote it for an English class assignment, and the title of this chapter is “Run Around in the Mud.” It’s impressive how much fun we could have with merely the space around three […]

Words are Important

Words are Important

May 23, 2022

When we teach and translate in the Pal language, we have to be very careful as we choose the words to use. A deep understanding of the language is necessary because a simple transfer of words from English to Pal will sometimes result in unintended meanings. We often remind ourselves that it doesn’t matter what […]

What’s Coming Up

What’s Coming Up

April 27, 2022

Dear Minnesota, You are a pretty nice state. Lots of trees, great people, the right amount of lakes… And I’m not complaining about the white Christmases. I love those! But don’t you think it’s time? Just let go of the wind. And the cold. And the sleet. Just let it all go and give us […]

CPR

CPR

March 29, 2022

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 […]

The State of Things

February 22, 2022

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 […]

It’s been a good year so far!

It’s been a good year so far!

January 20, 2022

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 […]

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 […]

Call for school teachers!

February 8, 2021

When New Tribes Mission PNG has all the staff that it needs in each department: business, IT, aviation, medical, maintenance, education . . . we are able to support the work of over 90 church planting families around the country.  Support workers make it easier for church planters to stay focused on their primary goal– reaching the tribal […]
