>Hi and Welcome
Always nice to have visitors checking out our site! Please check out the links that provides with some more info on our work as well as pictures, also check out the site on our housebuilding project.
Things are going well here in Papua New Guinea. We are experiencing some change in the seasons and lately we were getting really hot!
Climbing Mt. Wilhelm
Recently we had the opportunity to climb Mt. Wilhelm, which is PNG’s highest mountain. This was 4500m high, and we even experienced altitude sickness! I could not believe how could it was right in the tropics! Here’s some pictures.
House building in Menje
The past week I had opportunity to help two missionaries starting their house building in the Menje tokples (Language). This was a great learning experience and I am enjoying these trips very much. Here is a few pictures.
Firstly we got the radio installed to communicate with other missionaries and pilots. This is a picture where we spoke for the first time ever from Menje! This seems small but it is not! It means missionaries are settling in and hopefully soon these people will hear the gospel for the first time!
Here’s Wes, my partner, standing with some people. We are on our way to the jungle to cut some wood. Just check the scenery.
Wes chopping down a pine tree. Many years ago people planted pine trees with the hope that companies would start some development in this isolated location. But this never happened. Now missionaries can use the wood to build their houses.
I am ready for some coffee.
Here I am am preparing on of the bearers for a floor to be fitted. We often use hand tools due to the fact that we do not have power. Soon their will be solar panels flown in and 12 Volts will be inverted to 220V!
Unfortunately I had to leave again and a NTM plain picked me up from a local airstrip at 9 the morning. Here we are of lauding the plain with some supplies and after that I ‘hit the road’ back to Sobega!
Please continue to pray for us as we move to the Hoskins base in November this year. Pray that the Lord would provide in all our needs. Marie will have the Baby in October in a town called Kudjip to get the baby. We will then fall in with the team there and only next year sometime we will at last join some work there! Pray with us that we will trust in Him for our daily bread, and wait patiently upon Him to show us the tribe He wants us to work with.
Thanks for giving, writing and praying, may God richly bless you!
And as the Papuan’s would say:
‘lukim ju sampla taim‘
Most People are brought to faith in Christ, not by argument for it,
But by exposure to it.
