Conference!

Ok, so the blog has been a bit quiet recently. I’ll try to fill in some gaps since I last wrote and update y’all on all our comings and goings. Thanks so much for praying for us as we’ve been traveling!

We left Madang, the town and NTM base where we have been living since we arrived in July, on the 11th and headed by plane up to Wewak, another town and NTM base along the coast of PNG. This base will be our permanent support base while we are living out in the jungle.

The view from the NTM base in Wewak. So beautiful!
While in Wewak, we had the privilege of attending the conference for the NTM missionaries who serve in the northern part of PNG. It was so exciting hearing how God is working in other tribal locations through our fellow coworkers. We were encouraged by testimonies of faithful veterans, some of whom have been here for over 20 years! And we were blessed by the speakers who daily taught on God’s greatness, strength, and love in the midst of our weakness and inadequacy. Such good stuff!

We’re so thankful for our missionary family here in PNG! They are so quick to encourage us when we are struggling, and they understand the daily hardships we face as ex-pats in a foreign country. But they also know the joys of living with the people here and seeing them move from darkness and fear to life and maturity in Christ! These guys rock, and we’re thankful to serve alongside them!
