Papua New Guinea

This is the view from Kudjip station.

I visited PNG for 3 months in 2002, and another month in 2005. Here are a few pictures from those trips.

September praise & prayer

Missionaires could not do their jobs without the support of prayer partners back home.  I will try to keep you updated on prayer requests at least once a month.  Here are a few for September...

* missionary interns during this time of transition (packing, school, goodbyes, etc.)

* Pidgin English studies

* fall deputation, for scheduling and safe travels

* Kudjip Hospital and construction of the new building

* the team in PNG

MIT = Missionary Intern Training

(minus our "creative access" missionaries --> see next picture)

Pre-Field training took place fall of 2008 in Kansas City. There are 12 missionary interns, representing every corner of the globe: Russia, Peru, South Africa, Switzerland, USA (Jesus Film Harvest Partners), and Papua New Guinea!

Back to school... again!

August began with two furious weeks of sorting and building and packing my crate.  And the month has now ended with two furious weeks of seminary modules!  (Thus the reason for my virtual silence.)  It has been a bit strange to be back in school again after more than a couple of years of being on the job.  And a bit of a challenge to sit still for eight hours a day!  The courses have been excellent... covering the A to Zs of living and serving overseas:  culture, money, leadership, language acquisition, and spirituality.  After so many years of preparing for the medicine side of my ministry, I am enjoying the opportunity to reflect on God's mission to the world.  I have truly been inspired!
