I move my feet, I go through the motions But who’ll give purpose to chance I am the dancer I need the Lord of the dance Steven Curtis Chapman “Lord of the Dance” It’s been a while since we’ve shared how things are going here in Papua New Guinea. We want to share a few […]

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 […]

Leaving on a Jet Plane

December 23, 2016

If you’re on our facebook page, you’ll know that a couple days ago we posted that some big news was coming! So, drum roll please!!!!! NTM USA home office has given us the green light to head to the field! That’s excellent news, and a wonderful Christmas surprise. After talking with the USA home office […]

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. […]

Money & Accounts

August 21, 2016

One of our church elders joked once, “Oh, here’s the missionary, looking for money!” I know he was joking, but over the last month or so I’m becoming more convinced that’s all people hear when we call and ask to share our ministry with them. There are times when I feel envious of Paul and […]

Contentment

May 5, 2016

It’s been an emotional couple of weeks in our household. If you’ve followed our newsletters, you’ll remember hearing of how the Lord worked to sell our house in only 3 days on the market. The next month was a whirlwind! So many things that need to be orchestrated, completed, moved, and finished. The flood of […]

The Plow

February 14, 2016

Luke 9:62 Jesus said to him, “No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.” Winters have never been good to me. During the winters, my grades have always slumped, I often end up depressed, and simply don’t ‘feel’ like doing anything. However, our God […]

Financial Update January 2016

January 25, 2016

This is going to be one of those truly practical posts. Right now, in Papua New Guinea, there is a team of IT people working to support the church planting efforts. The problem is that there aren’t enough workers to cover the need. Shortage of workers results in teaching materials not being completed as quickly, […]

Will not hell quicken me?

January 22, 2016

I’ve been reading Charles Spurgeon’s Morning and Evening devotional, and in one of his writings, he said this: We are so sluggish that the best motives cannot quicken us, apart from the Lord himself. What! Will not hell quicken me? Shall I think of sinners perishing, and yet not be awakened? Will not heaven quicken […]

Team…we are not alone!

November 14, 2015

There are very few things that any of us do in life that are done alone. God wired us to work together. From the beginning, Genesis 2:18 “It’s not good that the man should be alone” One of my favorite is in 1 Corinthians 12 Where Paul elaborates on how we all have different gifts […]
