8,000 Miles, Pt. 3: In Papua New Guinea

August 17, 2010 by Tom

Our travel from Australia to Papua New Guinea went relatively smoothly. When we got to the capital of PNG, Port Moresby, we had to wait in a really short line for a really LONG time! It was very very hot and being crammed in with a lot of people did not make things smell that great. 🙂

Half way through the line Jude woke up and when he saw the sea of Papua New Guinean faces and heard all the noise he started screaming. That was the first time in our whole trip that he had cried that much, so it was rough. I couldn’t quite blame him for being so upset though. Poor kid. So I stripped him down to his diaper and that helped a bit! 😀 Finally after an hour of waiting a security guy came to us and waved us to the front of the line. Praise the Lord! After that it was smooth sailing to the next flight.

When we landed on the island of New Britain the sun was setting and it was unreal to say the least. Seeing the mountains bathed in golden sunlight was unlike any sight I have ever seen. I feel like crying just remembering it now. It was so beautiful it left us speechless and our hearts felt such a comfort and peace looking down onto the land that would be our new home and our place of ministry. Any fears we had had were gone. We landed smoothly and thankfully missed the dog that ran across the runway. 🙂

Some missionaries were there to meet us and we were warmly welcomed with hugs by them! It was a wonderful moment that I will never forget. They drove us to the NTM Center where we would be living and showed us our new place. It was strange being shown a place that we had never seen before, knowing this is were we will live.

So… Here we are. We made it all in one piece! Praise the Lord for keeping us safe and sane through it all! For those of you who prayed-THANK YOU.

    I’m the co-founder of JustCBD Store brand (justcbdstore.com) and I’m presently looking to expand my wholesale side of business. It would be great if anybody at targetdomain share some guidance ! I considered that the most suitable way to accomplish this would be to reach out to vape companies and cbd retail stores. I was really hoping if anybody could suggest a trusted website where I can buy CBD Shops B2B Data List I am currently reviewing creativebeartech.com, theeliquidboutique.co.uk and wowitloveithaveit.com. Unsure which one would be the most ideal option and would appreciate any support on this. Or would it be easier for me to scrape my own leads? Ideas?

    Praise the Lord for His faithfulness to you all! Had to laugh at Jude waking up to all of the new people around him…Will keep you in our prayers as you settle into your new home.

Mexico is home to over 126 million people. While Mexico is the world’s most populous Spanish speaking country you may find it surprising to learn that Mexico’s indigenous groups speak 68 different languages and make up 15 percent of the population!
