Right now we are in the thick of making tons of decisions with our team about our future tribal church planting ministry! Will you please pray for our team as we discuss a myriad of different topics that are vital to the goal of seeing a church planted among an unreached tribal group?
We made the trip again to another part of PNG (and another NTM support center) where the other two families on our team are living. We will be here until the beginning of April and we are trying to make the most of the time we have together. We are making good progress, but at times the magnitude of all that has to be talked through and done before we can move into a tribe is overwhelming! (more…)

God's Word in the Gende language
The picture here doesn’t mean much to the vast majority of people in the world. But for a small group of people in the Gende tribe tucked away in the rugged mountains of PNG, it means the world – it is a portion of God’s Word in their language! One of those Gende people is a young woman named Agnes. (more…)

Before we give any more details, will you stop and pray that the Lord would move in the hearts of pilots, mechanics and other aviation-minded folks to come serve the Lord in PNG?

Every few weeks we pack up our kids, some food, and other necessary items and head off to prison. And we all love it! The rickety bridge we have to cross to get there sometimes makes our hearts beat a little faster, though.

We serve an amazing and loving Lord who cares about the things that concern His children!! Many of you have been praying for us about the decision regarding joining a tribal team that we have been investigating over this past year. Thank you, thank you, thank you!! We have seen the Lord clearly answer those prayers!! But not exactly in the way that we (and maybe some of you) expected. (more…)

Do you like to wait? Most people would probably answer a resounding “no” to that question. Even though we often see the value or benefit that results, waiting for something that you are really looking forward to is often hard.

No matter how many times we move and how much we try to get things done ahead of time, it always seem to come down to the wire! And it was no different this time!! After a short night of sleep, we woke up on Wednesday with a few last minute things to do. We then got on the road to head to the Pittsburgh airport. First, though, we needed to stop one more time at Walmart. And that’s where the delays began!! Rather than write out all the crazy things that happened on this trip, I’m just going to list them.
