Work Permit Approved


February 2018

We have received word that our work permits have been approved in Papua New Guinea!  Our tentative departure date is mid-March.  We thank everyone for their prayers during the time of preparation and waiting.  You have been in our prayers as well.

Of course, we must admit to some frustration during the wait period, however, we have come to believe it was all part of God’s plan.  A friend’s brother died unexpectedly in late December and we were able to help her during the first few weeks in a variety of ways.  As well, we have helped (we hope) Lay Mission-Helpers and Mission Doctors Association in doing some maintenance at the Mission House.  Of course, we have also used the time to pray and reflect!

We are excited to begin the next leg of our journey as we ask:  Stay with us, Lord, on our journey.
O Jesus, we surrender ourselves to you, take care of everything!
