Paul getting his shot.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
We are amazed at how our God works!\u00a0 Have you ever just stopped what you are doing and thought about it?\u00a0 We want to share with you one of those amazing times:<\/h5>\n

Many of you know that Paul has been struggling with allergies.\u00a0 Because of his particular condition (too much IgE) he qualifies to go on a specific allergy drug that helps with these high levels.\u00a0 He started this treatment in the States (a shot every other week for at least a year) and his various allergic reactions started to decrease.\u00a0 But after returning to PNG in October, we found out we are unable to have it shipped from the US.<\/p>\n

So that\u2019s when our NTM team went to work.\u00a0 We had doctors, nurses and medical staff looking into purchasing it in Australia, the Philippines and even possibly Thailand.\u00a0 After finding it in Australia our NTM team there had to pick up the medicine and make sure it remained refrigerated.\u00a0 Then our NTM Aviation team packed it in the plane and flew it up here (along with a lot of other cargo).<\/p>\n

On the day the medicine arrived, we both headed to the medical clinic here (well after \u201coffice hours\u201d) so that Paul could be given his first shot by another team member (see picture).<\/p>\n

Did you catch the common word there?\u00a0 TEAM.\u00a0 And there is one more vital member of this team \u2014 YOU!\u00a0 While you weren\u2019t here to help order the medicine…nor were you able to fly the C-90 airplane from Cairns, Australia, you all are still a very important part of this team.\u00a0 Without your prayers this could never of happened.\u00a0 I could fill ten newsletters with the amazing things that God did to work out us getting this important medication.<\/p>\n

And besides your prayers, we are also thankful for the important role you play by offering financial support.\u00a0 Since we had to purchase this medication outside of the US, our medical insurance requires that we pay for it all up front.\u00a0 And praise the Lord we have enough in emergency funds to cover this cost.\u00a0 Please continue to pray \u2014 pray that the medication will continue to improve Paul\u2019s health.\u00a0 Also please pray that our insurance company will reimburse us and in a timely manner.<\/p>\n

Christmas Came A Bit Early!<\/span><\/h5>\n

\"Cargo<\/p>\n

Just a few weeks before Christmas we were notified that the shipping container arrived containing our wedding gifts and other supplies.\u00a0 Paul spent the morning helping unload the 40 foot container (no, most of it wasn\u2019t ours!) while Andrea stayed at home waiting for the deliveries!<\/p>\n

Soon after boxes began to be dropped off:\u00a0 boxes of wedding gifts (most we were laying eyes on for the first time), tools for work, supplies for the coming years (your favorite deodorant = a must have!), Vacation Bible School supplies (thanks SPC) and even boxes of fragrance-free soaps (thanks to Skifflake Bible Church).\u00a0\u00a0 And with all the Styrofoam pieces, it almost looked like we were getting an early white Christmas in the tropics!\u00a0 What a blessing to have \u201cpieces of home\u201d here in PNG.<\/p>\n
