God’s Faithfulness in 2024

January 5, 2025

We are just days away from celebrating our 1 year anniversary of returning to Papua New Guinea. (And just about a month until Andrea’s 20th anniversary since first coming to PNG as a single). We wanted to share with you some of God’s successes in this last year here. Thanks for your prayers and support […]

Thanks Again for Praying!

October 26, 2024

“Toto, I have a feeling we are not in Kansas anymore.” When we last wrote to you (in July!) we were sharing about Paul’s quick trip to Kansas for his (step) Dad’s funeral and a few weeks visit with his mom, Lavon Blackburn. She has been in ailing health these last years and we just […]

Thanks for Praying

July 20, 2024

We wrote in our June update that our summer plans quickly changed when Paul’s dad, Marvin Blackburn, took a turn for the worse and was nearing death. Once we made the decision that Paul needed to fly back to Kansas, a day later he was on a plane. We asked you to pray for his […]

Urgent Prayer Request

June 22, 2024

Since our April update, we have been busy with lots of “end-of-school-year” activities that tend to have our support center here in Papua New Guinea going a little bit in overdrive. Tribal flights are still happening and we even got to see another team of missionaries allocate to a new tribal work in the village […]

Calm in the Chaos

March 28, 2024

We can hardly believe we have been back in Papua New Guinea for over 2 months. It was a rocky road but we are thankful to see God’s faithfulness. We are also thankful for your prayers, support and encouragement. Here is a brief (brief you say?) summary of the last few months: December 2023 — […]

Merry Transitions

December 8, 2023

In just a few days we will be leaving our home (away from home) here at Ethnos360’s training center in Arizona. Our year and a half here, while not planned, has been such a blessing. We thank the Lord for each and every one of you who have prayed and given to our ministry during […]

Fall Preparations

October 21, 2023

Have you heard the news? We just purchased tickets to fly back to Papua New Guinea in January! Once again we were not sure if this was going to happen. And while we make our plans, we are trusting God to direct/redirect as we move forward. Thankfully things are lining up. Doctors/dentist/eye exams are all […]

Life in the Desert

August 27, 2023

We have been busy here in the desert of southern Arizona. For Memorial Day weekend the Wilson family went up to Hartsel, CO along with three of Paul’s nieces to have a mountain top memorial service for Paul’s brother, Dan. It was an excellent weekend that started out a bit stressful as nerves were high […]

Blessings in the Hard Times

May 6, 2023

2023 has been a very busy year so far and we appreciate you taking the time to read and pray for the needs mentioned. This year has already been filled with challenges (some new) but also many blessings from the Lord. Ministry: Paul has been kept very busy helping maintain the training campus here. A […]

Why Dig a Hole?

January 21, 2023

Why did Paul find himself in this situation? Follow along as we recap 2022! In April of 2022, we had to unexpectantly leave Papua New Guinea. Paul left his ministry as an aircraft mechanic and Andrea stepped out of her role as high school science facilitator. While it was our desire to remain supporting tribal […]
