Change in Plans

November 26, 2017

With our year of home assignment quickly drawing to a close, we have been busy praying and seeking council about when we should return to Papua New Guinea. Several factors had us hesitant to return to PNG next month. We requested an extension from our mission and were granted an extra 6 months! This is […]

Looking Back

September 13, 2017

The Wilsons made it home! Again. We just spent July and into August on the road, but you already knew that. We had a great time seeing family and friends all along the way (some 4,700+ miles). Our route included stays (other than hotels) in Kansas, Colorado, Wyoming and Nebraska. On our way west we […]

A Week In The Desert

June 8, 2017

Yes, we spent a week at McNeal, AZ our NTM Aviation headquarters. During this week in May we had meetings with our leadership team to debrief about our last term and discuss our future term as we plan to return in Papua New Guinea in January 2018. There was much to discuss as we had […]

Mini Update

April 28, 2017

We can hardly believe that we have been back in the US for over 4 months. Earlier this month we were finally able to move into our permanent-temporary place of residence for the rest of our home assignment time. We sure were glad to be able to finally unpack our suitcases! But they won’t stay […]

Dressers Are Overrated

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 […]

Heading on Home Assignment

November 27, 2016

In your recent update we asked for your prayers regarding our up and coming home assignment time in the US. With just over one week to go we are so thankful for your prayers and support during this busy time. Here is a short list of some of the things that we ask you to […]

We’re Packing

October 25, 2016

In just over a month (it makes me want to scream just typing that) we will be leaving Papua New Guinea and heading back to the US for our year of home assignment. 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 […]

Wrestling with Kodiaks

March 7, 2016

Our first Kodiak has been flying like crazy. It was cleared to fly late last year and has been going all over the place as our pilots get training. Recently you may have heard that the 2nd Kodiak arrived in Papua New Guinea. We praise the Lord for His provision of this wonderful aircraft — […]
