God is still in control, even in 2020…

Thank God for our ability to return to PNG 

This year has been an interesting time for us, and likely for you as well. In March 2020, as we were about to return to PNG, international travel stopped and countries closed their borders due to the global pandemic. Over the next 6 months, we and many of our colleagues kept trying to return to the field and finally, on our sixth try, we were able to return to Papua New Guinea on a World Food Program flight from Malaysia. As we look back on 2020, we are thankful. God provided for us through His people in so many ways: housing, vehicles, friendship, funds and opportunities for service to keep us busy and productive. So yes, 2020 has been eventful and unusual, and some would even say unprecedented, but through it all God has been in control. As we enter into 2021, we encourage you to seek His will for your life and to allow Him to use you wherever you are.

Getting released from quarantine with our fellow returnees

 Scott is happily back to his role as Field Security Officer and Kathy is back teaching at Ukarumpa International School. Scott also got to be a ‘guest earthquake’ to test student projects  and had too much fun!

We are praying for you and your family. Thank you for your prayers and your financial partnership with our Wycliffe ministry; you allow us to continue to serve in our roles in Papua New Guinea.
