Thank you for your prayers and partnership!

We are always learning to trust in the LORD more and more, especially since joining Wycliffe as faith supported missionaries six years ago. He never ceases to amaze us with His provision, through His people, so that we can continue to serve where He has called us in Papua New Guinea. Thank you for all of you who have been faithfully praying, and for all of you who have financially partnered with our Wycliffe ministry. We have received pledges for 100% of our budget and have been cleared to purchase plane tickets to return to PNG! We are so grateful for the many blessings we have received while we have been in the US: the opportunity to live in the mission house at Dover Baptist, to serve as missionaries in residence at our home church, and to share about our ministry and what God is doing in PNG with several churches, youth groups and small groups. Most of all, we have appreciated the gift of spending time with friends and family- you have encouraged and refreshed us, giving us renewed energy and enthusiasm to return to PNG. We have said farewell to NH and are in the process of traveling to NC to complete our medical checks and send out our sea freight shipment to PNG. We will then finish visiting family and friends and return to St. Louis, MO, to return our rental vehicle. God willing, we will fly back to PNG on March 23rd and we appreciate your prayers for our safe travels and transition back to the mission field!

Spice of Life...

They say that variety is the spice of  life. We certainly look for ways to try different things, like taking an Indian cooking class so we can share some fun new recipes with our friends in PNG. Change can be overwhelming and exhausting, though, so please continue to pray for our upcoming transition back to the field. We are excited to return to Ukarumpa and continue to support Bible translation, but leaving always comes with a lot of challenging goodbyes to friends and family here in the USA.

Prayer Points...

• Papua New Guinea (PNG): Pray for peace and spiritual revival in the Aiyura Valley.
