Over the last three years, we have undergone many challenging transitions. In every situation, God has been faithful.Well, another transition has arrived and He is once again directing our steps. Our sending organization, Wycliffe Associates (WA), has undergone significant changes in their approach to mission. Previously, WA sent support personnel to assist mission organizations. Going forward, WA is directly working in Bible Translation projects. Many support personnel were given a choice; change positions to better align with WA’s new structure or switch sending agencies. We elected to switch sending agencies and have been accepted to serve as career missionaries with Wycliffe Bible Translators USA. We prayed about our decision and it became quite clear that we are called to stay in our current location and roles. We are still with WA but will be transitioning soon. WA has assured us that the financial gifts received to support our ministry will be transferred to our new Wycliffe USA account once our transition is complete. For those of you who are financially partnering with us, we will provide detailed information on how you can continue through Wycliffe USA. This change means that we will be returning to the U.S. in December, where we will attend additional training, serve in our home church, visit people and churches and, Lord willing, raise 100% of our ministry budget. We hope to return to PNG in July of 2016 so Kathy can begin the new school year at UIS and I can reassume my role as Security Operations Manager. Thank you for your prayers and support as we continue to serve in PNG.
