We would once again appreciate your prayers for the Tigak church. We have received word that our elder and his wife are having problems. We are not clear on all the details. Some local church leaders from another tribe were able to go and meet with them. Our coworkers recently arrived back to Papua New […]

Thank you for praying! Ned made it safely home without any problems. After three COVID tests and 30+ hours in the air plus more hours in several airports, he is still trying to get back on a normal sleep schedule. We are thankful for the time Ned had with the Tigak church and working on […]

God continues to work miracles to make Ned’s time in Papua New Guinea successful. We are so thankful he has been able to get to every location in PNG that he needed to. There has been a big surge in Covid in PNG since Ned arrived and the country has now been locked down. Ned’s […]

Thank you for praying! The Lord has been so faithful to undertake for every detail of Ned’s trip. He was able to make it through quarantine while preparing for his upcoming translation checking. The day quarantine ended he was able to take part in checking two Epistles for another New Testament. This was also a […]

Ned left for Papua New Guinea on Sunday! It has been ALL God orchestrating every detail of this trip and allowing it to come together. Traveling internationally during Covid is very challenging. It has been stressful making sure all the paperwork and Covid testing came together at the right time. Ned has two flights down […]

I am sure for many of you it does not feel like a Happy Thanksgiving if you aren’t able to get together with family! I am learning more every day to release my plans and allow God to do what He knows is best for our family. I love having a calendar with plans laid […]

We greatly appreciated your prayers! All of 1 Samuel translated by Lisa Martinez and the Scripture portions needed to teach from Creation to Christ in our Bible lessons translated by Aimee Hedrick have been completely checked in Tigak! It is exciting to have this milestone complete. There were quite a few problems the first day […]

We need your prayers again. Since the last virtual check was a success we are going to attempt another one. If all goes well, this will be the last check needed before “typesetting” and printing of the Tigak New Testament along with Old Testament portions. This check will be even more challenging than the last […]

We would appreciate your prayers this week as Ned attempts something that he has never done before. He is going to have a virtual translation check! It looks like there will not be any flights available for him to get to Papua New Guinea for the rest of this year. The only route to PNG […]
