He Heard Cheering!

He Heard Cheering!

September 12, 2019

Timo jumped up when he heard cheering coming from the small schoolroom—one of his favorite places. That’s where one of his uncles had taught him and others from his village to read. The missionaries first taught a small group of his relatives to read, and now his relatives were teaching the rest of them. It […]

Missionaries and Christmas

Missionaries and Christmas

December 27, 2017

I’ve often told my students here at the MTC that holidays can be hard on the field. It’s hard being away from your family and everything that seems special. When we were in PNG, we and the missionaries nearby worked hard to make Christmas a special time…we had great food, played games, often went swimming […]

A Different World!

A Different World!

August 19, 2017

There was an amazing group of pastors/leaders at the third conference. Deep in the jungles, unnoticed by the world, but some of these men would probably be in the Heb. 11 “Hall of faith” if it were written today. Honored to work with them. As we left the muddy shores of the village yesterday, I turned […]

I Didn’t Sing Their Song for Good Reason

I Didn’t Sing Their Song for Good Reason

August 15, 2017

From Gordon last week: As you know, I was in a remote area of PNG last week and so I’ve been “suffering”….aka “offline”–no internet, or cell service or even the radio most of the time. But I feel too embarrassed to complain, because several guys at the conference walked 2 days over rugged mountains to […]

PNG Calls for Help

PNG Calls for Help

June 20, 2017

Praise the Lord with us for the many new doors He is opening up for the Bible lessons and books around Papua New Guinea. Just this week, two more groups asked for someone to come and teach them. One group of pastors saw many of their people turn to cult type teaching and want help […]

Free Pizza!

Free Pizza!

September 28, 2016

My grandkids get free pizza when they read a certain amount of books.  I think that’s really cool. Even though all I used to get was IN TROUBLE for reading too many books!  🙂 Well, maybe I was doing that instead of what I was supposed to be doing…but I always figured reading was a […]

The Flood Story According to the Abelam People

The Flood Story According to the Abelam People

September 18, 2016

We were sort of surprised to hear that the Abelam people of Papua New Guinea, among whom we worked in the 1980’s and 1990’s, have a flood story. It goes something like this: “A big flood came, so the boy and the girl climbed a very, very tall coconut tree, taking their dog with them. […]

Home Again!  (Thanks for praying!)

Home Again! (Thanks for praying!)

September 3, 2015

Yes, I’m home again!  Jetlag, a broken car door, a dead lawn mower and weed whacker, and 100+ emails in my inbox… all waiting eagerly to welcome me home. 🙂  But I feel like I am slowly merging back into the rush-hour traffic called the USA.   PNG seemed like a leisurely drive in the countryside […]

Teaching People to Teach People How to Read!

Teaching People to Teach People How to Read!

May 14, 2015

I love reading! I love teaching! I love teaching people to read! I love teaching people how to teach others to read! So this week has been quite fun!  20 new students now understand how to teach someone to read in their own language.  And as you can see, they enjoyed it and worked hard! […]

Home for Christmas?

Home for Christmas?

December 26, 2014

We work so hard to make Christmas just right….gifts, tree, lights, parties, decorations, delectable goodies, travel home, traditions. Sometimes, thankfully, we actually have a wonderful time. And sometimes it leaves us wishing for more. Maybe always? I think we’re all longing for home. Home. Where everything is absolutely perfect. Where everyone you love is there […]
