We\u2019ve got some good news to share with you.\u00a0 Last week we received the following message from the Papua New Guinea branch of New Tribes Mission<\/p>\n

\u201cWe would like you to return to a full time position in our office.\u00a0 The two main responsibilities would be 1) Office Manager, that is, overseeing the citizen employees and 2) Human Resources Manager.\u00a0 The two responsibilities go hand in hand.<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/em><\/p>\n

We have checked with (the NTM US Communications Department) and you can see that you are very welcome to stay in the communications area with NTM USA.\u00a0 However, you are very needed here as well.\u00a0 We have lost a lot of experienced people lately, some to going finish and some to other ministries.\u00a0 Honestly, your history with PNG and cultural understanding would play a significant part in your responsibilities in the office.\u201d<\/em>
\n
\nAt the same time, we received the following messages from the Communications Department that Steve is currently working with.<\/p>\n

\u201cHi Steve,<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/em><\/p>\n

Will be praying for you guys and the decision you have before you.\u00a0 We do appreciate your help and all the work you have done with us.\u00a0 We would gladly welcome you guys to stay on the Communications staff \u2013 but realize you guys are going to have to make that decision.\u00a0 So we will be praying you can get the Lord\u2019s direction now for your future.\u201d\u00a0 –\u00a0 Macon
\n<\/em>
\n“Hi Steve,<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/em><\/p>\n

Thanks for keeping us in the loop.\u00a0 You have been a great contribution to the Communications team.\u00a0 If you feel like it is time to go back to PNG, we certainly had that understanding when you started your current ministry, and I’m sure would be very supportive of your decision to accept the request if you felt it was the Lord’s timing.\u00a0 Otherwise, we’re very satisfied with the work you are doing and would be happy to have you continue.”\u00a0 ~ David
\n<\/em>
\nGay and I talked things over with our boys, and carefully considered and prayed about this decision for several days.\u00a0 On Friday, April 23, we sent an email to New Guinea telling them that we would plan to return to PNG the summer of 2011.\u00a0 (We have since moved our departure to the end of December 2011)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
