We Return to Papua New Guinea on July 7th!

We appreciate your continued prayers as we pack, sort, and get ready to fly over three days, a total of 36 hours and 11,000 miles. Our 6 months in the U.S. have been an amazing testimony to God’s love and provision, so we rejoice with our new partnership team as we prepare to return. Thanks to everyone who has blessed us while we’ve been here and helped us prepare to go back! 

Prayer Points:

• Papua New Guinea: Pray for the government leaders and the people of PNG to exercise wisdom, justice, and peace.

• Bible translation: Pray for national and expatriate teams for translation at the training center in Ukarumpa to receive useful tools for their continued work in PNG tribal languages.

• Our travel to PNG: Praise for how God has met our needs for airplane tickets and all of the connecting flights back to Ukarumpa before school begins on July 20th.

•“See you soon”: Pray for us as we say ’goodbye for now’ to friends and family and return to PNG for our next three years of service. Pray we return rested and ready to dive back into our ministry roles!

Portsmouth Christian Academy alumni Gabby Martin and Devin Lund, along with friends and family, blessed us with a Worship Night where we had the opportunity to share about our Wycliffe ministry and spend a beautiful time of worship together. Thanks for the music and fellowship! 

Pray for our U.I.S. graduates...

Ukarumpa International School graduated 20 young men and women last week, all of whom will return to their passport countries and begin either work or college in the fall. Pray for them as they readjust and work through the challenges of reverse culture shock and saying goodbye to their homes, friends, and family in PNG. They have been a blessing to both of us and we will miss seeing them in Ukarumpa!
