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.

A Sequence of Events or The Lost Hat

January 13, 2021

A man’s heart plans his way, but the LORD directs his steps. Proverbs 16:9 We are two weeks into the New Year – how are you doing so far? Whatever you’re facing, know that God is faithful! Despite the pandemic (or maybe because of it?), we took a road trip to visit a couple of […]

Okla(Home)a

July 17, 2020

Okay, so that’s a cheesy title perhaps for this post but it does tell you about location. We arrived safely at our Oklahoma home late July 7. I’d say it was an uneventful trip but there was that guy who sneezed in front of us as we walked out of the DFW airport. We both […]

But in even more ways, we are reminded that this is just the beginning. We have come […]

Of time, traveling and translation

February 8, 2020

Time is flying by. We arrived in Manila late night of the 22nd of January and two days later we flew down to the island we’ve called ‘home’ since 1982. January 26th we marked 38 years here since our arrival in the Philippines. God is faithful and we give all praise, honor and glory to […]

Praise the Lord

January 7, 2020

Happy New Year: Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord! Psalm 150:6 Many of us remember twenty years ago before the New Year dawned there was great concern about Y2K?! Well, here we are in 2020 and it’s definitely a praise on our lips that God is good and worthy of […]
