Transitioning to a different country might be complicated, but God has been showing off lately! We had several huge financial needs, and God completely crossed them off our list by working through his church! One family provided 90 percent of the funds we needed for our solar electric system, and we were able to purchase $12,000 worth of plane tickets for about $500 through a mixture of air miles! We serve a creative God!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Thankfully we’re on the last step of our paperwork! Everything made it through the PNG government, and now we just need to send some documents to the embassy here in the States…and wait. This month we’ll be getting everything together and loaded onto the shipping container we’re sharing with the Sanders and Hambrices. Please pray for patience and wisdom as we organize everything and try to go with minimal belongings.<\/span><\/p>\n

Letters From Wantakia<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Our Letters From Wantakia art event went great. Samuel Gray<\/a> created an incredibly moving image called Reaching the Unreached <\/em>[see below]\u00a0for us, and we were able to sell signed prints and t-shirts, while informing friends about our future ministry with the Wantakian people in the central highlands of Papua New Guinea!<\/span><\/p>\n

"Reaching the Unreached" by Samuel Gray \u2013 Christ stands on a grass airstrip in Papua New Guinea beckoning us (the birds) to come join him in the field where laborers are few.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Wisconsin!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

We’re in Waukesha, Wisconsin saying our last goodbyes to friends from Sprizzo, Brooklife Church, and New Tribes Bible Institute! It’s been an emotional whirlwind, and we’re so thankful for the many great friendships we’ve been blessed with in the frigid north! This is a special thank you to all the Brooklifers who stopped by our table! You guys are awesome, and we’re proud to be part of the church family representing you all in Papua New Guinea!<\/span><\/p>\n

We stayed with some amazing friends, and Nora (and Rynn) had a blast playing with Kojo!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Shirts!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Next Stop: Texas<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

After a week to catch our breath, we’ll be taking our last big road-trip down to Texas to visit with friends, family, and supporters. This is an extra special trip (and another example of God’s creative provision), because one of our supporters has purchased many of the power and hand tools I’ll need and is going to teach me how to build furniture by hand! <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We’re so thankful for the way the church can function together, and so humbled by everyone’s generosity. Thank you all for your prayers and support!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
