Fixing our eyes on Jesus…

June 22, 2022

Hey to all our co-runners in this race We all have our favorite books in the Bible.  I never saw Hebrews as one of mine…One that I don’t necessarily spend lots of time in… and never thought that God would let me camp in this book for the last 4 months. Hebrews 12:1… Therefore, since […]

Scattered Family – Bound by Love

February 25, 2022

FROM SHAMAN TO CHRIST FOLLOWER!

FROM SHAMAN TO CHRIST FOLLOWER!

February 16, 2019

In these days I got the sad news that another Mengen believer has passed away. He and his family are very precious to me. When we moved into the area in 2009, this family was the first to open their hearts and home to me and Marie. It’s very very hard for me, as they have become my family! I would want to be there with them. I would want to spend a few days with them, standing at their backs! But this is God’s plan for me for now.

Halfway Home

It is now 6 months since we arrived here in South Africa. And even though we long for our home back in Papua New Guinea, we can thankfully summarize by saying, “The Laureti’s are doing very well”. Those first few weeks here felt like a whirlwind… landing in JHB, some medical appointments, seeing friends and […]
