Above & Beyond

Above & Beyond

September 9, 2014

I want to begin this blog by saying thank you to everyone who has prayed for my trip out to pack up our house and say goodbye to the Tigak church. My trip out there went very well, far better than I could have hoped or imagined. Our prayers were answered, though the trip was […]

Four More in the Family!

Four More in the Family!

April 7, 2014

Recently, on a rainy evening the gospel was once again presented to a small group of Tigak people who had been faithful to attend the several months of teaching occurring 5 days a week. The group had been taught clearly from the creation of the earth (Genesis) through the life and work of Christ and […]

Sporting a Man-Basket

Sporting a Man-Basket

February 16, 2014

Having a man-basket back in Papua New Guinea has grown on me. At first, I felt stupid. Now I feel silly without it, carrying around all my stuff in my hands and pockets?! What was I thinking? The woven basket, called a “tapa” in Tigak is a main accessory for people in our area of […]

Jeff the Boar

January 15, 2014

It was just over a year ago, last October, that we acquired our baby Wild Boar. I had gotten a fence made in the meantime, as one of the requirements in our village to look after pigs is to have a fence. (Even so, I am pretty sure that we are the only ones who […]

2013 N.I.P. Believers Conference

December 15, 2013

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 […]

A Difficult Trek

A Difficult Trek

October 1, 2013

This is hard. Easily one of the most difficult things I have done in my life. We believe strongly we MUST do it, we are passionate TO do it and we WILL NOT give up, BUT, learning the Tigak language and culture is still very very hard. We were told early on in our language […]

Making a Speargun

Making a Speargun

August 9, 2013

I went spearfishing with a friend and after several attempts at shooting fish underwater, I realized that I would need my own speargun to practice with. Another friend thought it was a good idea and said he would help me. This was good because in hindsight there was no way I would have been able […]

An Underwater Adventure

An Underwater Adventure

August 9, 2013

Language & culture study can be a drag sometimes.  The daily routine isn’t always exciting and new like it was in the early days when we first began.  Its a lot of hard work and takes lots of prayer, dependance on the Lord and personal discipline. On the flip side, the culture aspect of study […]

Did You Know?

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!
