Hello all, so sorry I’ve been missing in action here. We were in the village all of January into February and then we came to the states for a missions conference the last week of Feb. We never do things like this so it was such a blessing to be with like minded Christians in fellowship with one another. We leave to travel back to PNG on Wed the 17th.
When we left PNG the last week of Feb. I felt like my “cup” was so dry. There are always ups and downs in the missionary life but not having a home church and a time of fellowship with other believers wears on you. When you are on the frontlines in missions you know that you are giving this up in order to bring them the GOOD NEWS but when the opportunity came up that we could go to the US for a few weeks, I was just so thankful for Gods knowing where we were at and helping us. GOD IS GOOD and we praise Him for this trip. We feel refreshed and rejuvenated to go back to the people of Moka and continue on with the ministry there.
While here in the states we got to spend time with Grandparents, Family, Church and friends.
Since we were in Moka last, the “mayor”, what’s apped us while he was in one of the towns. It was a first for us to see them on video! He told us that one of the Moka kids was killed by a crocodile. That’s so upsetting for me since that same kid I just helped back in January with Malaria. When these tragic things happen they always get to me and I get worried. Please pray for Mark and Sara it was their son who died.
