Is it December already? We thank the Lord for having granted us another year to serve Him here in PNG among the Dom people. By His grace we were able to have Matthew, 2 Corinthians, 2 Timothy, 1 and 2 Peter, James, 1, 2, 3 John and Jude translated into Dom, final checked by our […]

“For the Word of God is living and active, shaper than any two edged sword. Hebrews 4:12 (NAS). I, Jim, have been checking through the Dom draft of the Gospel of John with one of our dear Dom brothers in Christ, Philip. What a pleasure it has been to see him smile, to see his […]

Judy has started a new Dom literacy class and already the distractions of Dom life have kept some of them away from classes. Most of Judy’s students are sticking with it but some have fallen away. Now is a busy time for the women in particular as they are busy planting their new gardens. This […]

Jim is doing all the teaching again as Gena and his wife Ros (Rose) have had some major problems lately so he has stepped down from teaching.  Please pray for them.  Gena will still help me in the office but he feels that public ministry is inappropriate until his marriage is what it should be.  […]

Jim continues to make progress with translation. This is the lineup as of now. Mark, Acts, Romans, 1 & 2 Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, 1 & 2 Thes., 1 & 2 Timothy, Titus, 1 & 2 Peter, 1, 2, & 3 John and Jude are totally done until the final read through. In October, […]

Praise For: 1.  The lives of Rose and Alua were spared. 2.  Good outreaches at the Kakwa location. 3.  Fairly decent hospitals about 45 minutes to an hour drive from us and for our mission doctor that we can call or email for advice. 4.  For continued progress in Translation.  For consistent helpers in checking. […]

“Great multitudes followed Jesus and he healed them all” (Matt. 12:15 KJV).  Even though our primary goal is to help the Dom people spiritually by providing them with God’s Word both in teaching and in written vernacular form their physical needs are ever before us.  We can not heal them miraculously as the Lord did […]

We arrived back on the field August 7th. We made a couple of trips up to check out our fallen house. (See pictures under House Building). On September 7th, we moved up to the Dom. Since our house was not really liveable, we slept in our former clinic across the road from our house, as […]

Greetings from PNG!  We arrived safe and sound, Saturday the 7th after a long but uneventful late night flight from Los Angeles (and a tearful goodbye to Darren and Heather who met us at the airport).  Praise the Lord there were no hang ups or problems with anything along the way.  We made all our […]

Praise the Lord!  We are going back to PNG.  We have a late night flight out of Los Angeles this Thursday the 5th and arrive Saturday (PNG time) the 7th.   Two days later we celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary!   Soon after that we will take our truck up to the Dom and reunite with all […]
