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 […]

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 […]

Yet Another Curve Ball

May 25, 2022

As many of you already know, we are currently in Parsons, KS addressing our medical urgency for Phoebe. Our doctor at the mission clinic in PNG suspected that Phoebe has Perthes disease. The blood flow has shut off to her right leg in the hip ball area. You can look up the longer explanation if […]

Going Our Separate Ways

February 26, 2022

Okay, calm down. Our marriage is fine, wonderful actually, though stretched across the globe. Yes, Paul used his accrued vacation time to go and visit his parents in Parsons, Kansas. He was gone from the family in PNG for a month. With Andrea facilitating/teaching two high school classes and the kids needing to be in […]

What A Fall

January 5, 2022

No, none of us suffered from a fall, but we can’t believe how fast the last half of 2021 was. Here is a brief recap: Paul has been busy in the hangar despite the ever changing restrictions and lack of trained pilots resulting in a significant decrease in flight hours. Maintenance used time to get […]

Quick Prayer Request

October 2, 2021

Much has happened in the past week and we felt the need to send out a brief update to dispel rumors and off load our regular future newsletter. Regions of Papua New Guinea (PNG) have been hit again with a wave of COVID cases and this time it has affected us here in the highlands. […]
