Changes Taking Place

November 16, 2025

Often change is predictable, like with the seasonal change of the weather. However, this change was fairly abrupt and severe. The aviation leadership has decided that Paul no longer has the professional edge necessary for the demanding role of a licensed aircraft mechanic. They have informed him that he needs to step away from aviation […]

Back To School

August 31, 2025

We are praising the Lord for a “normal” summer school break. We were busy as Andrea was getting ready for the new school year, and Paul was working at the hangar welcoming new guys onto the maintenance team. The kids played and earned some spending money with odd jobs around the house or community. Our […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Autumn Adventures

October 23, 2022

Sometimes we wish life had those road signs, “Caution — Curves Ahead.” We started our last update out with how thankful we have been for a little bit of routine in our life here in southern Arizona. And while that is still somewhat true, we just didn’t know what was coming. Aren’t you glad to […]

Settling-in in Arizona

July 27, 2022

For the first time since the start of 2022, we are finally beginning to feel a little bit of routine in our life as we get settled here at Ethnos360 Aviation’s training center in McNeal, Arizona. This is not where we saw ourselves when we started into 2022, but it is where the Lord has […]
