We hope you had a great Christmas and a Happy New Year! It is hard to believe we are in a new decade. Ned & I both had birthdays and are enjoying senior discounts for Garrett’s basketball games. J I have been working on Ned’s trip to PNG in March and April. We have almost […]

Merry Christmas! Praying that your celebration of the birth of our Savior is extra special! Thank you for praying for the NIP Church Conference! There were about 150 men, women and children from five other language groups who came to our island. In spite of almost constant rain, it was a success. The plus side […]

Please be praying as the 8th annual New Ireland Province (NIP) Conference begins today. The Tigak church is hosting about 100 believers from 6+ different churches and language groups. The conference will continue all week long. There has been much time and money put into preparing lodging and food and transporting everyone to our island. […]

Thank you for your faithful support and prayers. We wanted to let you know that Paska’s MRI in Australia was successful! He miraculously was able to lay still during the procedure. The doctor is making a plan for a future surgery but at this point we don’t know when it will happen or how all […]

We hope all is well with you and your family. We have had a lot of adjustments as we get several of our kids settled into new schools. Savannah has started a new teaching job at a collegiate high school in Fort Worth. She is now living with friends from church in a house. Christina […]

We are so excited with the growth in the Tigak church. We left to go to Christina’s graduation in May. At that time the Tigak church building was in shambles. There were lots of holes in the roof which made it difficult when it rained! In just one month they tore down the old building […]

We are back on our island after six long, very full weeks of translation checking with a few days of our annual regional missionary conference in the middle. It was an encouraging but exhausting time. Ned was blessed to not only have 2970 verses of the Tigak Bible checked, but to be the translation consultant […]

Here is the update our coworker, Aimee, sent out after the Tigak New Testament was completed a couple of days ago. Hope you enjoy it! —————- "Mar 28, 2019 9:45am, Tigak New Testament finished." That was the text message I got from my teammate Ned yesterday morning. He’d been working with a couple Tigak guys […]

We made it out to our regional center today to begin the big translation check. Please be praying for Ned and everyone involved as they work nearly every day for the next six weeks – other than 4 conference days. Pray especially for good health and clear minds! Ned is back on antibiotics for a […]

Thank you for your prayers!  I, Linn, survived my trip!  Going in I thought I wouldn’t make it.  After about 3 hours of hiking my pace slowed considerably and rest times increased dramatically. J  It took 5 ½ hours to make the 13 km trek. (After about 3 ½ hours on the boat)  Coming out […]
