We are enjoying our New Year but have already had some sad good-byes.  Christina and Savannah were home for Christmas break but are now back at school.  This was their last chance to come to our island before Christina graduates in May.  When they have their spring break – Ned will be having his big […]

                                     Merry Christmas!!   We are excited to have Savannah and Christina coming for Christmas!  They will arrive on Friday for their school break.  We will be missing our other 4 children and 3 grandchildren who are in the USA.  Hope you have a very special time with family and friends!  So very thankful for […]

Thank you for praying.  Ned’s foot is doing much better but he is still on antibiotics and can’t seem to get completely over the infection.  We really enjoyed having Christina and Savannah home for their fall school break.  Everyone is now back at school.   The Lord has been faithful in providing translation helpers the […]

We are sure thankful for the time you spend in prayer on our behalf.  It is very easy to become discouraged when you see apathy among the believers.  Sometimes it feels like they don’t want to sit and talk about what God is doing in their lives!  We continually pray for the Lord to grow […]

We are getting very close to boarding the plane to PNG. This will happen on Father’s Day, June 17th! Linn had what we thought was her very last eye checkup six months after surgery #3. It turns out that the doctor wants to KEEP seeing Linn every six months. We let him know we would […]

We are so thankful for the time we have had in the USA and the memories we have been able to make! Garrett was part of a 12U homeschool basketball team this year. Garrett and Christina were part of a real AWANA club which is a lot more fun than how we usually do AWANA […]

We are beginning to pack and buy for heading back to Papua New Guinea (PNG) in June! We have our tickets and are looking forward to having our Tigak (“tee-gahk”) team back together again. Ned plans to have his initial draft of Matthew and Luke done before we arrive in PNG. He will be working […]
