March 8, 2017

Suitcases here. Bags there. Boxes shoved here AND there. That has been our life since we left Papua New Guinea on December 9th. It has been a whirlwind three months. Thanks for praying. We want to share with you how God answered your prayers: We went from 85F at departure to –2F in Kansas where […]

We’re Packing

October 25, 2016

After praying and talking with our leadership, it became clear that a slightly early home assignment was necessary. We originally decided […]

Comparisons

August 6, 2016

Playing the comparison game can get dangerous. Even us missionaries do it. (Yes, we are just like you!) But recently I (Andrea) was comparing something that the Lord used to help me see how blessed and privileged we are to come from a 1st world country. Sunny was due any day with her second child […]

Death, Where Is Your Sting?

May 18, 2016

When the challenges come it is often too easy to feel discouraged and want to give up. Won’t it be easier to live in the US with Paul’s allergies? Won’t it be nicer to be closer to family/friends/medical/________? Yes and no. Right now the Lord has us in PNG and we are so blessed to […]

Don’t Stop Praying!

November 17, 2015

Here is an update about some of the prayer points we mentioned in our October update. RAIN!!! Many parts of Papua New Guinea are now getting good amounts of rain.

A Mama’s Week
