They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but a thousand words could not describe my feeling for this young pastor.

I miss those cooked bananas so much Janie and I will be heading back to Papua New Guinea in November 1-15 making it our second trip this year. We will be working with our son Bill and his wife Kelly. Please pray as we will be booking tickets soon and sure would like some nice […]
