twin kodiaks

January 16, 2016

It’s been a whirlwind of routine (is that a thing?) since we finished with Christmas and started back to work. But the exciting stuff is happening at the hangar! Two of our pilots have left for their Kodiak training in Spokane, Washington (at Spokane Turbine Center). When they return in a few weeks, they’ll begin […]

ready for flight

November 24, 2015

So last week I asked you to pray about the upcoming audit on the flight program here in PNG; the one that would determine if and when the Kodiak could start flying and serving the missionaries and people of Papua New Guinea. We can now praise the Lord together that it is now finished! The […]

growth

November 17, 2015

It feels like I am so behind on my blogging. I can’t write fast enough to keep up with the many goings on of life in PNG. I have completed my training as the medical clinic receptionist, and am now checked off to work by myself. I ask the nurses and doctors a lot of […]

hodgepodge

July 30, 2015

Thank you for your outpouring of love after my last post! Those hard days are hard, but wonderful when they come… but they do pass. I feel like I’ve settled here now, that this is home, and I love it. Here’s my hodgepodge sort of list of an update about what we’ve been up to […]

kodiak #3

May 28, 2015

God’s timing is absolutely amazing and perfect every single time… I don’t know why it’s so hard to remember that. Yesterday we were given the green light to announce that New Tribes Mission Aviation has purchased Kodiak #3 for the flight program in PNG! This is a project that has been in the works for […]

partners

May 21, 2015

Most of you know that since we finished Bible school last year we’ve been doing partnership development as our full-time stateside ministry. This looks like a lot of writing emails, a lot of phone calls to set up meetings, a lot of cups of coffee, a lot of driving, a lot of sharing, and a […]

aviation adventures

April 28, 2015

the missionary aviation tent that we (and 7 other mission organizations!) called home for the week by Josh Verdonck What a whirlwind week it’s been! I mentioned in my last post that April has been a busy, busy month for us… and that was only halfway through the month! Since then there’s been an airshow, […]

the year of constant catch up

April 16, 2015

Dry Falls I’m declaring 2015 as the Year of Constant Catch Up. Time is consistently getting away from me. Just this Sunday, we had a partnership informational meeting in the afternoon… the couple we stayed with pointed out that they didn’t know April 12th was their church’s nursing home day, and so there probably wouldn’t […]

my husband

November 24, 2014

I don’t often brag about my husband, but in this case, I’m going to. If you like airplanes and training details, read on. If you don’t like hearing a proud wife talk about her husband’s cool airplane job, then you should probably stop reading. :-) We’ve arrived at the end of our training in Arizona! […]

weekend aviation expo

October 31, 2014

Last week I shared the heaviness that has been hanging around and weighing so many people down. Since then, there have been a couple surgeries, and many more prayers for Jon and Adie. The Lord has met me and so many others in those heavy places, right where we were, and held us close, reminding […]
