Oh no! Don;t tell me I missed the 12 inches of snow last Sunday in Jackson. Instead, I have to be in the 80 degree, sunny weather of Papua New Guinea…for the entire month of January. Wow! Thank you Lord. Well, it could be better. Shirley could be here with me. She is busy with the new and returning students at NTBI. Couldn’t get away this time. I am assisting the Interface program (a college level missions exposure course) in the highlands of PNG. We were here for the summer of 2004.
It is good to be back, and even see some old friends in the Bena tribe next door. Some are even now believers. The Gospel has been taught and there are a number of believers. How neat to see them in this context now. They are learning about the early church now going through Acts. Please be praying for them as they get rooted and grounded in the Scriptures. Thank you.
I will be returning to Jackson Feb 2. After recovering, I will jump into the semester and continue in the role of Director of Community Relations. My Epistles of John class is later in the semester, so I have plenty of time to get ready.
Thank you for praying for Shirley and me as we continue to serve students and staff at NTBI. We count it an incredible privilege to minister like we do, preparing disciples to take the Gospel of the grace in Christ Jesus to a lost and dieing world.
Isa 26.3,4
