Either way, we\u2019re in that time of year where most of our folks are out on home assignments, not yet returned from home assignments, or just out somewhere on vacation. And that means more \u201chats\u201d for me!<br \/>\n-Shipping Department- I\u2019m still running the shipping department, saying that like it\u2019s not pretty much just me. I\u2019d present a cool set of statistics about how many solar-electric systems and Bible translations we cleared through PNG Customs in the past few months, but sadly, no time for that. Because I\u2019m also the\u2026<br \/>\n<strong>-Insurance Department-<\/strong> Yes, I\u2019m also the Insurance department for the NTM PNG field. And just in time for the annual 2015-16 renewal\u2026 which we\u2019re right in the middle of at this moment. What with seven centers, two hangers, a score of mission vehicles, and a large number of houses, there\u2019s a lot to keep track of. Not a super exciting ministry, unless we get a wreck or something, and then there\u2019s just a bit of paperwork. However, for excitement, I\u2019m also\u2026<br \/>\n<strong>-Field Security Assistant-<\/strong> Or maybe not. Mostly I keep track of news, make sure the paperwork is correct and filed on time, and pass on security related advice. And this kind of works into my membership on the\u2026<br \/>\n<strong>-Medevac Team-<\/strong> The healthcare in PNG is not exactly the best, so if something really bad happens, we often have to send people to Australia for medical care. This takes a lot of paperwork, so we work to dot the \u201ci\u2019s\u201d and cross all the \u201ct\u2019s\u201d needed. Lord willing, this is one hat I won\u2019t need to wear all that often, if at all.<br \/>\n<strong>But wait, that\u2019s not all-<\/strong> I\u2019m also the guy who does mail runs, helps out with buying items in town, and takes care of the occasional airport run. I\u2019ve also represented the mission at a recent Goroka Chamber of Commerce meeting.<br \/>\nSo please keep on praying! Wisdom is really needed for a lot of these \u201chats\u201d. Pray also for my safety in traveling, and for my health.<br \/>\n-Future plans- I am happy to announce a change in my furlough schedule. Lord willing, I\u2019m now planning on taking a small home assignment every summer during the months of June-August. Of course, these will be \u2018working furloughs\u2019, and I\u2019ll again be bringing my \u201chats\u201d with me.<br \/>\nThanks once again for your prayers, and for your love and support.
