My summer is looking similar to others. I am attempting to create a master schedule that meets the needs of all our students with the staff the Lord has provided. It is a miracle every year when it comes together, but we’re not quite there yet. In the meantime, I thought I’d link to an […]

It is easy for me as a support worker serving itinerantly to feel disconnected from the church planting efforts among the least reached. I imagine that many of you reading this may have also felt the distance between your giving and the church in PNG. The following update is from the Malaumandan church in PNG, […]

I am having a hard time getting a summary of the last five months into words, and that makes blogging hard. (And I’m not yet ready to learn the editing skills needed for vlogging or the dance moves needed for tiktok.) In addition to my roles as a missionary kid teacher serving remotely, I have […]

This week can mean lots of lists as we remember the past year. I hope you’re not weary of them quite yet, as the following newsletter is a few numbers that help define the work in PNG. The numbers aren’t just items on a list though, as they also tell the story of how the […]

There was a moment as I logged in to post this, that I thought, “Should I do a thankful post? Is it just too trite?” But before I had finished signing in (and I’m in ‘merica where the internet is plenty fast), I know that I am thankful for so much and that it is […]

An informational blog from our Communications Department: On the field of Papua New Guinea we have around 350 active missionary members.  Those missionaries come from fourteen different passport countries to work together to plant thriving churches in the unreached people groups of Papua New Guinea.

My usual rotation of genres to read doesn’t include horror stories, but it does include classics. And so a couple weeks ago, I decided it was time to read Frankenstein again. The back of the edition I checked out says: Mary Shelley’s gothic tale is the world’s most famous work of horror fiction. I have […]

Yesterday’s temperatures were supposed to be record-breaking. They ended up being very hot but not quite what was predicted. That’s how I feel about June this year; it just isn’t quite living up to my expectations. I expect it to be a tolerable hot, but we’ve already had days of heat indices over 115. The […]

I don’t know what algorithm has given me social media ads for almost-private jets, but there’s definitely been a mismatch of some sort. It made me laugh aloud to think that I’d ever been traveling on anything other than a full-to-the-brim international flight or a tiny unpressurized mission plane. But, really, I haven’t been traveling […]
