FROM SHAMAN TO CHRIST FOLLOWER!

FROM SHAMAN TO CHRIST FOLLOWER!

In these days I got the sad news that another Mengen believer has passed away. He and his family are very precious to me. When we moved into the area in 2009, this family was the first to open their hearts and home to me and Marie. It’s very very hard for me, as they have become my family! I would want to be there with them. I would want to spend a few days with them, standing at their backs! But this is God’s plan for me for now.

A Quick Update

A Quick Update

We Don’t Speak Japanese – 日本語を話さない

We Don’t Speak Japanese – 日本語を話さない My teen years were spent living on the banks of the Amazon River with my missionary parents. Yes, I have piranha, electric eel, alligator, peacock bass and monkey-hunting stories. And then there was that anaconda incident. I digress. Let me get back to my story. One night the generator for […]

Got an Ax to Grind?

Got an Ax to Grind?

Our Isnag neighbors are all busy preparing rice fields and everyone has an ax to grind. Many people wonder why bench grinders have two grinding stones.  Some people think that one stone is course and the other fine. That may or may not be true, but the real reason is so that you and a […]

Equipping the Next Generation of Tribal Church Planters . . .

In April, Ken prepared a Papua New Guinea themed meal for the students at the Bible Institute.  As he looked around the house for decor to bring in, we chuckled to see a picture he had taken back in 2003 of a couple teenagers at the mission high school in PNG.  One of those young […]

Where is your faith? Luke 8:25

Where is your faith? Luke 8:25

Where is your faith, Jesus asked the 12 when they woke Him in the middle of a nap. The wind, waves and water had put fear in the disciples heart; but to Jesus it was a lullaby as He lay on the pillow on the bow of the boat. Today missionaries can tell great stories […]

The Land of the Unexpected

The Land of the Unexpected

Expect the unexpected. . . I feel like this theme has come up a few times in  the past several weeks, even before I got here.  They call PNG the land of the unexpected, which is hard for someone who likes to plan and prepare and be structured.  But it’s been an amazing lesson in […]
