Extreme Home Makeover: Island Edition

August 22, 2011

We have a house. It’s sitting in the middle of a village on a tiny island in the south pacific. From this house we will live and minister to the upwards of 20,000 Tigak people of Papua New Guinea with the hope of helping them discover who Christ is and what He has done for […]

Both mommy and baby are doing great! Daddy is smitten with his new daughter, and Jude is, well, a bit confused by everything… 🙂 We’ll get a more detailed update out soon.

A New Teammate

December 11, 2010

My PNG Cookbook: Kaukau in Coconut Milk

September 13, 2010

If you want to save money, you eat like the people of PNG do. That’s what we have been trying to do as much of as we can since we moved here to the “land of the unexpected”. 😛 It has been fun for me as the cook in our family to learn about what […]

There are many things that go into moving to a remote location that you may never think about. I have one word for you: TEETH! Yes, for the last several months or so, Tom and I have been traveling over an hour (one way) to go the the dental school to get much needed work […]

How Beautiful Are The… Shoes?

February 16, 2010

Things are pretty crazy these days as we continue to tackle paperwork (poor Tom) and begin to dive into the complicated task of packing. As you may imagine, when you are moving to an island half way around the world there are things you would need. Add to this the fact that this island is […]

All Work & No Play?

January 14, 2010

Two weeks into our road trip and everything is going great! This last week has looked a little different for us… in a very good way. 🙂 Since Tom and I were going to be here in Florida for a bit, my parents decided to take the opportunity for our family to go on a […]
