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 […]

I recently was able to accompany my mom at her church’s annual conference. It was an encouraging time, as different ministries of the church shared how God was moving in the city and beyond, an elder presented a challenge from the Scriptures, and the finance committee highlighted all the good works being accomplished through tithing.

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 […]
