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 […]

Isaiah 40:31″But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.” We were blessed to be here for the birth of Stansel Gene Beall on June 9th. This is our 5th grandbaby and […]

“Look at the ravens. They don’t plant or harvest or store food in barns, for God feeds them. And you are far more valuable to him than any birds!” Luke 12:24 We would love to hear how you are doing. This is a very unsettling time! I do not like unknowns and like to have […]

Thank you for praying. We were finally able to purchase all of Ned’s tickets to get to and around Papua New Guinea. It was quite tricky since they would not accept any of our credit cards for flights in PNG. We are thankful for support personnel in PNG that were able to keep going in […]

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. […]
