Are We Royalty or Prisoners?

June 10, 2021

We landed in Singapore and worked our way clumsily up the jetway. Our almost empty Airbus 350 was a welcome break from our previous domestic flights, but we were fighting jetlag and needed showers and sleep. Airport employees, in full PPE, welcomed us by name and provided special bracelets identifying us as “transitioning” passengers. We […]

Bittersweet Goodbye – Class of 2021

May 16, 2021

Saying good-bye to this senior class is bittersweet due to the limited contact we have had with them since covid hit our nation last year. Our interaction and investment had been limited up until a few weeks ago and now it seems we have all new students since their masks have been removed. But regardless […]

Ned is home!

May 10, 2021

Thank you for praying! Ned made it safely home without any problems. After three COVID tests and 30+ hours in the air plus more hours in several airports, he is still trying to get back on a normal sleep schedule. We are thankful for the time Ned had with the Tigak church and working on […]

Thankful for Changes and a Sovereign God

We are thankful for our short home assignment. Walter’s cataract surgery went well and he will be getting his new glasses soon.

Kobe Graduating! He just turned 18. Crazy, right? He’ll be attending Ethnos360 Bible Institute in Wisconsin. Pray for him to learn all that he needs to learn in order to survive on his own in America. We’ll be half a world away in Papua New Guinea! I’m sure he could use your prayers. Summer Plans […]

Translation progress!

God continues to work miracles to make Ned’s time in Papua New Guinea successful. We are so thankful he has been able to get to every location in PNG that he needed to. There has been a big surge in Covid in PNG since Ned arrived and the country has now been locked down. Ned’s […]

We’re Heading Back to PNG

April 1, 2021

This has been a long unpredictable year of change, but we finally received word late Monday night that our Papua New Guinea entry request was approved. YEAH! What started as a 90 day quick trip to close up Andrea’s mother’s estate and help settle a family member into a good housing situation has turned into […]

“GO YE” is not an option, it is a command. Jesus said, ” Follow Me and I will make you fishers of men.” Stand aside as I throw my line, we need a few good men and women, maybe you are the one for the task.
