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 […]

We are happy to have Ned back at home again.  The translation consultant meetings were a profitable time for Ned.  He really enjoys helping other translators and has his share of translating consultant work coming up in March and April so it is great to be prepared.    Ned has sent his remaining 2 Gospels and […]

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 had five of our believers attend a teacher training course sponsored by the church in another language group. There are three national men from the Highlands of PNG that have been trained and travel around teaching believers how to teach Bible lessons. The believers who went were challenged to be sharing with those around […]
