Working cross-culturally

November 13, 2017

Coming to the field, we expected to be working cross-culturally. After all, we’d be living in a country not our own, with the PNG people who live and think differently from us.

I ate the kids!

March 15, 2017

…or the less fun title, “Fun with language learning!” There’s a lot of fun phrases in Tok Pisin, one of my favorites is “Mi lusim ting ting!” Literally it means “I lost thought” and is used to say “I forgot.” About eating the kids — no we haven’t eaten any kids, ours or anyone else’s. […]

Our first week or so in Papua New Guinea

March 4, 2017

Wow! What a week! Or well uh, two weeks now. Part of us feels like we just stepped (stumbled, tripped, fell..) out of the plane yesterday while part of us feels like we’ve been here some time already. For those who don’t know, we got to fly in one of NTMA’s (New Tribes Mission Aviation) […]

Leaving!

February 10, 2017

“Fear God and keep His commandments, For this is the whole duty of man.” -Ecclesiastes 12:13 The Spirit has laid that verse on my heart recently and I wished to share it. Granted, that verse has nothing to do with our news, or does it? I’ll let you answer that question for yourselves. Our passports […]

The Dog Ate My Homework!

January 27, 2017

Our applications for entry into PNG were approved, but as you may have heard, we’re still waiting for the official stamps to be entered into our passports. The process is taking longer than expected for several reasons. Someone important in the immigration office of PNG died this week, some offices have been moving, and computers […]

Finances

December 8, 2016

“I’ve never once in my life been unable to sleep because of money in the church. And the reason is, I firmly believe this isn’t my church, this isn’t the elder’s church, this isn’t the deacon’s church. This is Jesus Christ’s church, He’s the lead pastor, so He’s the one who’s gotta worry about it. […]
