Helicopter Update

Helicopter Update

August 24, 2020

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 […]

An opportunity to give.

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 […]

Transition

July 8, 2020

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 […]

A taste of Freshwater

A taste of Freshwater

March 13, 2020

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 […]

Help Wanted

Missionaries just aren’t pastors and Bible teachers.  Many skills are needed on the mission field.  We especially need people who can come alongside our PNG co-workers and train them in the skills needed to keep our centers and bush houses running.  Check out this video.   If God is stirring your heart towards this work, […]

Deep and Wide

Deep and Wide

September 19, 2019

A flooded river stood between them and home. The heavy rains coupled with the narrow river bed had made the water rise much higher and run much faster than usual. It wasn’t safe for them to cross. Chris went first. He fought for balance with every step; the current struggled to pull him off his […]

Take a nice leisurely 20 minute hike back our ridge, then slip, slide, and fall down the mud-slick mountain for the next hour, cross a creek that could be ankle deep or thigh deep, depending on the amount of rain in the past 24 hours, then trudge straight up another mountain for an hour an […]

Help the Heli

August 30, 2019

Many of the locations we work in are very remote, hard to get to, and near unreachable—there aren’t roads to drive or rivers to canoe, the ocean waters aren’t smooth, and the jungle cannot be tamed.  Helicopters not only enable us to get our missionaries and their families into these locations, they also shorten the […]

The Struggle

The Struggle

August 20, 2019

How do we react when a new idea challenges what we know? We hold very tightly to the knowledge and ideas we grabbed a hold of at a very young age and have carried with us through our whole lives. We have to say “Please,” and “Thank you.” That’s just the right thing to do. […]

Home Sweet Home

Home Sweet Home

August 8, 2019

It was not quick, and it was not easy, but we finally made it back to our home among the Pal people. Such is life here. But, let me back up a little bit and give you the full story. A couple weeks earlier, my parents, Steve and Brenda Hostetter, arrived in PNG. They then […]
