I wanted to give you an update on Little Paska. He was able to get his MRI done in Australia. The foundation who is helping to organize a doctor and hospital had a fundraiser dinner planned specifically for Little Paska but when Covid-19 hit it had to be cancelled. We did receive news from the […]

“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!

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.

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 […]
