September saw our son Benjamin and family return to PNG after spending five months with me helping me to adjust and learn to do a lot of things without James.
Benjamin has been on a survey with the other guys on their team, they just returned to their wives and kids after a week of grueling hiking which has moved them forward to their goal of moving into a new tribal location within the next months, to begin church planting in a new language group.
While Benjamin was off hiking in the PNG jungle Isaac and Camille went to South Sudan to volunteer in a refugee camp during their vacation time from university in Israel. Isaac is studying to be a doctor and Camille a midwife, they are both having considerable experience right now at the camp helping out with surgeries and delivering babies.
Here at NTBI Jackson we just enjoyed a banquet to celebrate 40 years in the community. I continue to build relationships with the married students to encourage them in their walk with the Lord and training for missions. And I am thankful to have family here as we continue to learn to live without James while running the race set before us, looking unto Jesus.
