We Are Back In PNG!!!

We Are Back In PNG!!!

August 11, 2019

We made it safe and sound back to PNG. None of our suitcases were lost, so that was good. However, when you travel with 15 bags you are going to get lots of stares. We all helped out unpacking our house by getting our things out of storage and cleaning it, then putting it where […]

It seems like it has been forever since we were in PNG last, but it has only been 1 year. It was nice to see family and friends and speak at churches, updating them on what has happened the last 3 years and what we will be doing next.We will be leaving America on July […]

Windows of Time

Windows of Time

April 28, 2015

Part of the missionary life is making the most use of our time. We have windows of time to accomplish a lot. Now that we are going back to Papua New Guinea, we realize our window of time in the US is diminishing quite quickly! So we are trying to make the most of seeing […]

Pukpuk (pook pook)

April 28, 2014

One of the privileges of working overseas is trying new things and eating all kinds of different foods! A big part of the Sepik culture is crocodiles or as we say in the local langugage, “pukpuk”. They live on the rivers and can get pretty big.  I have seen pictures of them up to 12 […]

Gennie Project

Gennie Project

November 20, 2013

A common way of life here is having the power go off pretty consistently. It is just part of life. Sometimes it will come right back on in 10 minutes and sometimes it will be off for 12 hours. We had been blessed with having a generator in order to do our jobs as well […]

A couple of weeks ago LaShawn got to celebrate an amazing event here in PNG. She was able to board a small airplane and fly into one of our bush locations to celebrate a Bible dedication.       When I think about how long the Bible has been in English, I just praise Him. […]

Bush Trip

Bush Trip

October 6, 2013

This last week I got the incredible opportunity to go on a bush trip with some great guys and the Malamaunda church teachers. These opportunities don’t come all the time and I didn’t even know I was going to be able to go until the 11th hour, so to speak. But the Lord worked it […]

Independence Day

September 16, 2013

Today, September 16th, is Papua New Guinea’s Independence Day. They gained it on September 16, 1975. It so happens to be the year I (Derrick) was born so it is so easy to know how old PNG is (38) this year.   We had a fun day today celebrating the holiday. We flew our PNG […]

We celebrated Allie’s 10th birthday this week.  It is quite the milestone for us as our oldest is now in the double digits!  Of course, it seems like only yesterday when we brought her home from the hospital!  We celebrated by going to the pool in town for a swim.  It was a nice day […]

Sepik Supply

Sepik Supply

August 30, 2013

Sepik Supply is what we call the place I work in.  “Sepik” being the area and “Supply” being supplies.  My main job is to get all the tribal missionaries supplied with all their needs.     A huge help in doing this efficiently is having a small store stocked with groceries and other things.  For […]
