PNG – STANDS FOR PAPUA NEW GUINEA

March 14, 2021

How many of you know what that PNG stands for?? Of course … Papua New Guinea. Many of you have asked about or have been keeping track of the Adventures of Cody and Beka as they prepared for the mission field.

Back in the First World…?

August 26, 2020

Hello everyone. Josh and Mel Simmons here. We finally made it back to the U.S., or something resembling the U.S. If I didn’t know better I would think I was still in the 3rd world country I just left, the jury is still out. It was a bizarre trip back to say the least but […]

Momentum is Building These past few weeks, the word “momentum” has been on our minds.

FROM SHAMAN TO CHRIST FOLLOWER!

February 16, 2019

In these days I got the sad news that another Mengen believer has passed away. He and his family are very precious to me.

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.
