I’ve heard and seen several analogies about how the global church works together to reach the unreached, but I thought this recently published article on A Life Overseas did an exceptional job at framing the work of supporters (like you!) and support workers (like me!). While it is not specifically about PNG or teachers, I […]

As much as I know that serving remotely is the right fit for me right now (I mean look at that toddler that shares my screen every once in awhile!), seeing tribal church planting up close and in action is like nothing else. Ethnos360 gives everyone the chance to do just that with Encounter Trips. […]

For as much as January seemed long, February seemed short, didn’t it? We are finishing up the third school term now. I find myself in a familiar place of striving to finish the current school year well while also planning for the next. I have had several encouraging conversations recently with teachers who are interested […]

As promised in my last update, here is a more general field update about our need for support workers. The summary is that PNG needs support missionaries in order for church planting to happen, and there are lots of openings! New Tribes Mission in Papua New Guinea (NTM PNG) has church planting missionaries serving throughout […]

I’ve recently been encouraged in two different venues that administration work is important, even in the Kingdom. Neither are new revelations, but they were well-timed reminders as I continue serving to support church planting through mostly education administration. I was able to join a new Bible study this fall that covered the first half of […]

I had hoped to send an update with “Settled” in the title, but this one is not quite what I had in mind. My mother and I did get moved over the summer, and her old house sold as well. After a lot of work on both old and new, things are coming together at […]

In church, we are studying Genesis. In my weekly Bible study, we’re studying Revelation. And in reality, of course, we are in between the two (at least for now). I continue to serve as the administrator for NCA in PNG. We’re in the middle of two school years for the next couple months. We are […]

The following appeal was recently shared by our Aviation department. “We can’t get fuel for the planes and helicopters.” What dreaded words for church planters living in remote locations, depending on aviation!   Time and again, the country of Papua New Guinea has faced issues with its fuel supply, and our aviation program has had to […]

It would be fair for you to think that this is a really late Christmas post, but alas, it is only a little about Christmas. At some point in the holiday season, I heard that the traditional hymn Joy to the World! is actually about Revelation since its lyrics match closely with descriptions of the […]

I have all sorts of pictures on my phone, probably too many. One that I have saved from 2021 (long before I even I had the phone I am using) is a prayer that I come across and return to frequently. When I realized I wanted to use it in my post for these last […]
