One year in PNG


Well, Its been one year since we arrived in Papua New Guinea.  It has been an interesting year; Lots of changes and new experiences.   And the Lord is always faithful.

This time around, we are finding challenges that demand patience and true spiritual endurance.  Its funny, our church NCFC held a weekend conference with a guest speaker from YWAM, who spoke about "Spiritual Endurance."  The Lord truly prepped us for the challenges that we face here in PNG. 

We truly miss all of our family and friends.  Especially our children.  It seems like only yesterday when we were changing diapers and sitting through long sessions at the dinner table.  Now, our boys are so far away.  How we miss them dearly.

If I (James) were to sum up the one thing that I think we have learned this past year in one word, it would be: prayer.

Without prayer, we cease to walk with the Lord.  Rather, we walk away from Him.  As it is impossible to communicate with and know our earthly friends and family members, so it is with our Heavenly Father.  We must pray, if we seek to be with Papa God.

Blessings to all!
