Larissa

December 1, 2015

Larissa Larraine is six months old, and we figure its about time she made her appearance on our blog! She’s a little bundle of energy – enough to keep the whole family employed chasing after her to keep her out of trouble. But when her little knees get tired from crawling all over her big […]

Finally, we arrived here well!!! (English and Korean Letter)

The Kims Update in November Praise the Lord! We arrived here safely in the last Tuesday night. The trip was long; it went smoothly. We are very grateful that God has brought us here to reflect His love and grace toward the precious people surrounding us. Thank you for your prayers. We have […]

Cupcake Fail and Rotting Rats

November 27, 2015

It’s 9:00pm, I just walked my coworker home just in case the drunk guys out on the trail between our houses were still there. It turns out they had moved on and she was able to walk to her house under the light of the full moon by herself, letting herself into her house in […]

A Few Things We Are Thankful For Today

November 26, 2015

Many families have an excellent Thanksgiving holiday tradition, as they are gathered around the Thanksgiving feast, of sharing with each other what they are thankful for. There are no other Americans within many miles of us here (and, by the way, no turkeys or hams or cranberry sauce either!), so we’ll take this opportunity to […]

Thankful for Ambulance Service

November 26, 2015

In our ministry among the Landumas, occasionally we are called upon to evacuate a patient with a medical emergency to the nearest hospital, in the city 50 minutes’ drive away. All too often these must be done late at night. But late night ambulance runs are one of my (Kirk’s) least favorite things I do […]

Inspection Complete

The Civil Aviation Safety Authority PNG auditors arrived last week and conducted an inspection of not only our new Kodiak but also of our flight and maintenance programs. By the end of their time, we were cleared in all three…..meaning we are now legally able to move on to the next step in getting the […]

Thanksgiving - more than an American holiday! A time to thank God.

Breath

November 22, 2015

“Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD” Psalm 150:6. This year we decided to celebrate Thanksgiving a little early, on Sunday with our partners. Probably like many of you, we have incorporated several family traditions. One of our traditions is to make name cards, and have a Bible verse […]
