Scott is thankful for...

God’s provision in moving the security program forward. Our mission’s relationship with our contract security provider has improved, operations are running more smoothly and we are working more closely with the local police. We are also about to hire two Papua New Guinean men to assist me with daily operations. Hiring these men will not only help to cover things while I’m back in the U.S., but will allow me to focus on more long term projects when we return to PNG. Finally, two of our fellow missionaries have stepped forward to cover my role while we are on home assignment. The last two years have been challenging, but God has provided abundantly.-Scott

...her students! It has been a wonderful semester at Ukarumpa International School, and a blessing to get to know these students better.  Serving with them at the ice cream booth during the UIS Carnival was a special opportunity, as we served the community together.  The Science 7 & 8 students have worked diligently, producing the cell models you see on the left.  The Biology students are wrapping up an entire year’s curriculum this semester, having met twice every day, and have shown perseverance and a good attitude throughout.  I will really miss these students next semester, but trust that God’s timing is perfect, and if He desires, we will be back in July just in time for the new school year to begin. The need is great, and I want to follow wherever God leads- would you pray with me for His provision of new partners so that we can return to serve in Papua New Guinea?-Kathy

Thankful for the last two years...

At a recent church service, we celebrated the Bible translations that have been accomplished during the last two years; it was especially meaningful to us since that is how long we have been in Papua New Guinea. Thirty New Testaments, revisions, Scripture portions, audio-Bibles - all in different languages, being used to bring the hope of Jesu At a recent church service, we celebrated the Bible translations that have been accomplished during the last two years; it was especially meaningful to us since that is how long we have been in Papua New Guinea.
