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.

Our missionary kids started school about a month ago, a bit earlier than schools in the States since we have longer breaks within the year. As schools in the States were all finally in session this past week, I kept seeing two news headlines related to the return of teenagers to the classroom. One headline […]

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 […]

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. Seventy-four percent of the team here comes from the US, […]

1 Peter 2:9 has always served as such an encouragement to me. This verse tells us who we are and what we are to do as believers: “But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous […]

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 […]
