One of the great things about a short term missions trip is that one has a lot of excess baggage allowance. 100 pounds is a lot of weight to fill even for the most ardent of packers. This allows the opportunity for the short term missionary to act as a courier for people on the field- especially if those on the field typically have to wait months for overnight packages, and spend lots of money for the privilege of waiting. <\/p>\n

Thus, my team of two to PNG this summer will be carrying a few items along for the benefit of many on the New Guinea field. First, we have a few homeschooling texts for one family- as well as a few other more fun personal items one cannot find in foreign lands. Secondly, there are a few more technical items for a Bible translation project, mainly a solar panel, inverter, and computer. <\/p>\n

So, please pray for us as we head over with these precious items- that they will arrive at the same time and in the same location as we do, and that they would arrive intact and complete.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
