How Could I Not Reach the Unreached? Anji’s Story
How did I get started on this incredible journey to work with national co-workers to reach the unreached and translate the Bible into a tribal language?
Commitment
“… I walked here today to tell you all these things the Lord has been showing me these past few days. The Lord has brought you all to Wantakia to do His work, and you must finish it. Even if disaster comes upon you, you must continue to do the Lord’s work.” My wife and […]
Another one Flies Away!
Glowing from the rising sun, the second Kodiak bound for Papua New Guinea departed January 11 for Wichita, Kansas, piloted by International Chief Pilot Daren Spence and accompanied by maintenance specialist Ace Glidewell. It seems like the beginning of a long journey, but really it’s just a stepping stone in our walk of faith. There […]
Team…we are not alone!
There are very few things that any of us do in life that are done alone. God wired us to work together. From the beginning, Genesis 2:18 “It’s not good that the man should be alone” One of my favorite is in 1 Corinthians 12 Where Paul elaborates on how we all have different gifts […]
2013 N.I.P. Believers Conference
Sitting where I am right now, freezing cold in Michigan with snow falling outside, it is very strange to think about where we were less than a month ago. We were in Papua New Guinea sweating our faces off crammed in to a van along with some of our Tigak brothers and sisters on a […]

Our island friends go there to sell their fish, which is their specialty in a market dominated […]
My PNG Cookbook: Crunchy Cabbage Salad
Lettuce is a bit hard to come by here in the islands of PNG. I suppose those lovely crisp green leaves are not too fond of scorching sun and hot sand. When we are able to buy lettuce it is a far cry from what awaits you in a grocery stores fridge. Once I realized […]
Our Tropical “Winter Wonderland”
Christmas day is only a week and a half away and Jude has often been found laying on his side under our Christmas tree gazing at his presents repeating to himself in a comforting tone, “Just wait, just wait, just wait”. 😀 The anticipation is growing for our first Christmas celebration in our village! Wow. […]
Vacaville Venture
My heart is smiling as I sit down to write this blog. It is amazing how being in the body of Christ can knit you together with people you have never even met; how you can sit down and speak face to face with a person for the first time and truly connect, be blessed […]
Got Food?
As you can imagine, living on a tiny island in the middle of the ocean takes some getting used to. Many simple things that we don’t think twice about having or getting in the States, take much preparation to ensure we have on our island. When we run out of sugar or flour there is […]
