Many of you know that Paul has suffered with severe allergies for several years.\u00a0 The combination of his overactive immune system and living in a land of perpetual Spring makes for a bad mix.\u00a0 Up until recently we have been able to manage his itchy skin and other allergy symptoms with various medicine and keeping our house as free of allergens as possible\u2026..not an easy task here.<\/p>\n

Since returning to PNG (a year ago) our NTM clinic has not been able to successfully get a consistent supply of Paul\u2019s main allergy medicine from Australia (Xolair shots \u2014 very expensive and need to be refrigerated).\u00a0 He has been completely off this medicine for several months and was doing OK, but recently he took a turn for the worse.\u00a0 We believe a recent infection has caused a lot of his problems and are praising God that the antibiotics are doing the trick!<\/p>\n

Please pray with us that we find answers to why this is happening and how to live life in a tropical environment, preferably not on Xolair (expensive) or steroids (health issues).\u00a0 If not, we are concerned that it might require us to relocate to another climate (country).<\/p>\n

One More Urgent Prayer Request<\/h3>\n

We have mentioned before the need for more personnel here in PNG…especially aviation folks.\u00a0 We are at an all-time low and yet the needs of our bush missionaries still remain.\u00a0 Just this last year several new tribal works were opened up…and more and more of these newer works are only accessible by helicopter.<\/p>\n

Not only are we very low on pilots (this summer we will only have 2 pilots when we really need at least 5), but we are low on mechanics and other aviation personnel as well.\u00a0 Because of this we HAVE TO scale back on our flying.\u00a0 This will result in less supply flights for our bush missionaries and less flights in general for our NTM personnel.\u00a0 (This could include medical flights if\/when we forfeit our commercial operator license).<\/p>\n

Please continue to pray with us that the Lord would provide more laborers.\u00a0 Also pray for our leadership as they have to make the necessary decisions to keep things running.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

While You\u2019re Praying\u2026..<\/h3>\n

\u2026..here are a few praises & a few more prayer requests:<\/p>\n

Praises:<\/h4>\n

*\u00a0Baby Wilson is doing well!\u00a0 We will be leaving PNG mid June to start our maternity leave back in the US.<\/p>\n

*\u00a0We have moved!\u00a0 In anticipation of another family member, we have been able to relocate here on our center to a slightly larger house.\u00a0 The move was a hard one, resulting in all 3 of us getting sick, but we have recovered and are enjoying the last few weeks before we leave.<\/p>\n

*\u00a0The Gospel is going out in PNG!\u00a0 Many of our tribal works are currently having outreaches…some done mainly by tribal believers…. including an outreach to our neighbors (which just concluded).<\/p>\n

Prayer Requests:<\/h4>\n

*\u00a0Recently our Interface campus had to close and relocate to another one of our NTM centers.\u00a0 We will miss having this \"\"<\/a>beautiful camp-like location so near to us but are glad the program is still able to run.\u00a0 (Many of you will recall that this is the same program that Andrea went on in 1997).\u00a0 Don\u2019t know what Interface is?\u00a0 Check it out by looking up \u201cNTM Interface.\u201d<\/p>\n

*\u00a0Strength as we finish up our last few weeks here and head back to the US in June.\u00a0 We will have 5 flights totally 24 flight hours to get us to the east coast of the US.\u00a0 Pray for calm nerves and smooth connections as we do this with a very active 19 month old!<\/p>\n

*\u00a0We are still in need of housing in the Southern Maryland area for the 7 months we will be in the US.<\/p>\n
