Where has the time gone? As of last month we have served as missionaries to Papua New Guinea for 30 years. To summarize the years we want to share with you a Scripture portion and 30 pictures. Thanks to all of you who faithfully pray for and support our ministry. – It’s not about us, It’s about making Jesus known.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

“For it is all for your sake, so that as grace extends to more and more people it may increase thanksgiving, to the glory of God.\u00a0So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day.\u00a0For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.” 2 Cor. 4 15-18<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
