I am sitting here in the dark, thankful for the power to run my computer, send email and update our blog! Power is not something that we think of very often… power to run our computers, power to run our refrigerators, power to keep our food frozen in the freezers, power to run our washing […]

Life has been normal the last few weeks… as “normal” as you can get at Interface in Papua New Guinea. 🙂 Jacob has been working on various projects around the campus, training dogs, tearing up the classroom floor, batteries, and fixing a variety of things.

The students are having a once in a lifetime experience this weekend as they visit a Tribal village church, witness the baptism of many national believers and stay overnight in some of the believers homes! We are excited to hear all about their experiences when they arrive back to Interface today!! We have heard that […]

Who ever heard of running a walk-in cooler with an Air conditioner?? It is crazy how God provides and uses complete strangers to make everything come together so that we can host conferences and challenge students for God’s glory here in Papua New Guinea! After hearing the price tag that the only refrigeration company in […]
