“The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective” -James 5:16b
We are writing to ask you to pray. We are scheduled to depart the USA for Papua New Guinea on Sunday, July 19th and we are not alone. Others are scheduled to follow shortly thereafter, serving in staff care, finance, education, health care and leadership, all trying to get back to Ukarumpa in order to resume critical roles in support of Bible translation. Since the beginning of this pandemic, many people have left our center and no one has returned. This means that those who are currently serving in Ukarumpa are persevering, doing their own work and the work of many others. This situation not only impacts operations but morale as well. We know that God is in control, but we also know that prayer makes a huge difference. We are therefore asking each of you to pray for our flights, permissions to transit Australia and the ability to enter Papua New Guinea. We ask that you not only pray for us, but also for our brothers and sisters in Christ who are attempting similar journeys, and for those in Ukarumpa who are stretched thin and still serving faithfully. And please continue to pray for an end to this pandemic, for healing and for peace, and especially for those who don’t know Jesus to seek Him and to find Him. He is the reason we are trying so hard to return to PNG and He will receive all the honor and glory when we finally do, in His perfect timing. We’ll keep you updated and thank you for your prayers!
