Rude Cultural Signal OR Is”Christ Is More Important”?
Recently in a team meeting, I was reminded that rude gestures are NOT the same in different cultures.
Excited and Proud
I don’t know better words to use right now. Today, August 8th Jason & Tami Hughes, Drew & Leasa Decuir and Nicole Cogan are on a separate planes, all heading to the country of Papua New Guinea (PNG). Why are we excited? Why are we proud? These guys are all from the missionary training class […]
Chaotic Peace
Chaos. Peace. How can both of these things exist simultaneously in my life? However, my life in these last few days before I depart for Papua New Guinea has a high degree of both. Chaos because my room in my parents’ house has clusters of leftover knick-knacks, miscellaneous articles of clothing, books, and papers through which to sort. […]
reachWANTAKIA
We recently received an update from the team in Wantakia. They’ve done an excellent job in telling the 5 reasons they’re here, why we’re all here, and it’s well worth sharing. You can read more about this team working with the Wantakia on their blog: http://www.reachwantakia.com/team-blog/
Lo Normal Ahora.
Para nosotros lo “cotidiano“ se ha vuelto muy diferente. Ya no es habitual decir “buenos días” en las mañanas, ahora decimos “good morning” o “monin tru”. Funcionamos en dos idiomas (o al menos lo intentamos), Inglés y Tok Pisin. Aveces escucho a Jacob hablando inglés mientras juega sólo en la casa, supongo que era de esperarse ¿verdad?, sus […]
El incomparable Dios de Israel.
¿Quién midió las aguas con el hueco de su mano y los cielos con su palmo, con tres dedos juntó el polvo de la tierra, y pesó los montes con balanza y con pesas los collados? …tal es la grandeza de su fuerza, y el poder de su dominio. … Vosotros sois mis testigos, dice Jehová, […]
Con un corazón agradecido.
Que el mensaje de Cristo, con toda su riqueza, llene sus vidas. Enséñense y aconséjense unos a otros con toda la sabiduría que él da. Canten salmos e himnos y canciones espirituales a Dios con un corazón agradecido. Colosenses 3:16 Querida familia, ¡Cuánto los amamos y extrañamos! Y agradecemos a Dios por el […]
No Longer Afraid
I hiked to Emo’s hut on the banks of the Yif River on June 13, and when I arrived, Emo was very happy to show me his brand new house and the garden his family planted in the river valley. “Why did you leave your brother’s house on the ridge top to move here,” […]
NTM tribal church leadership conference in PNG
Eight tribal churches, with eight completely different languages, come together to put on a leadership conference.
Bible Dedication in Dom
We had the amazing privilege on August 26th to attend our first Bible dedication. If you remember our first term here when we were finishing our language study we chose to do a bush orientation. To live out in a tribal location for 6 weeks. We spent our orientation in Dom! When we heard that […]
