A Mama’s Week

August 9, 2015

After reading our last update, where Paul shared what an aircraft mechanic’s week is normally like for him, several folks asked if I would be sharing next about my normal week. So here you go: Monday: Look after kids and try not to go crazy. Tuesday: Look after kids and try not to go crazy. […]

A Mechanic’s Week

June 9, 2015

Monday— I, Paul, get up at 5:15 AM, get ready, give Joshua his bottle and am down at Tribal Supply by 6:45 to help load the day’s cargo in the NTM Aviation vans and head to the airport in town. It is only a 7 mile drive but as we leave we soon find out […]

Tangguat Teaching

April 17, 2015

In just a few days another tribal group, the Tanguat, will begin to hear chronological Bible lessons in their own language. These are exciting times as folks hear in their own language, most for the first time, of who God is and who they are before Him. It was just 8 years ago that the […]

New Gospel Presentation

February 16, 2015

Here on our field headquarters we have over 80 national workers that help us in a variety of tasks….office workers, maintenance, security, house help, aviation help, medical workers. On top of their invaluable assistance, we are also able to develop friendships (especially for those of us who don’t get off center much). Early in January […]

Re-Directed

October 21, 2014

We intended to spend this section of our update sharing with you a little bit of how our finances work (being members of a faith-based mission). But before we got the first line typed, something happened that re-directed our thoughts. One of our pilots-in-training, Jon Leedahl, was in a severe motorcycle accident that required him […]

Growing Bananas

August 23, 2014

Growing Bananas! No, I didn’t say we are “Going Bananas,” but GROWING bananas! Living in the tropics we see a lot of banana trees…or more accurately banana plants. It has been interesting to learn how they are actually large stems to bring water and nutrients to the leaves and forming bananas. As the bananas get […]

Getting Settled Back in PNG

June 7, 2014

We can hardly believe that we have been back in Papua New Guinea for a month! So much has happened and we want to thank you for your prayers. Dear friends helped get 6 checked bags, 5 carry-ons, 1 car seat, 1 stroller and all 4 Wilsons to the airport on time! We then joined […]

Red Light, Green Light

April 5, 2014

Waiting on the Lord is a must in the Christian life. Obviously, it is not our favorite lesson. We thoughtfully and prayerfully (usually) make our plans and preparations. Then we ask/expect God to bless and expedite. Right? Isn’t that how it’s done? Isn’t that biblical? No, it is not and we are learning this lesson, […]

When God Says Wait

January 28, 2014

In his heart a man plans his course, but the Lord determines his steps. Proverbs 16:9 We were expecting to be in our final weeks before departure back to Papua New Guinea (PNG), but God had other steps for us. In the weeks before Christmas Andrea’s mom, Diana, came down with shingles. We quickly changed […]
