Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

Praying God's best to you and your family!  We look forward to seeing and experiencing all God has planned for our lives here in PNG. 

Trusting Him Daily,

Michael & Cheryl

Philippians 1:6

Sweet sound of rain!

We have been very blessed by rain this past week!  Many have been joining in prayer with us as we had a serious shortage of rain and water in our rain barrels.  This past week God provided us with 5" of rain and our tanks are full.  Praise The Lord !  We trust Him completely to provide all we need, He is so faithful!  

Technology Lesson

Tuesday we had a Christian college professor spend the night on her way to Siwai -Bougainville. She acquired a new iPad and asked if I could show her how to use it. Ms. Eunice came to our flat to learn...we had a nice visit, Michael took her and another teacher to the wharf this morning to ride a boat. God brings special people each day in our life to share the love of Jesus!

Worship and Prayer Sunday Nights

Each Sunday evening we host a worship and prayer time in our home. We invite anyone staying at the center. Tonight we had a sweet time of fellowship with 12 men and Meri from surrounding villages that are staying here working on Bible translation and recording scriptures. Worshipping His name with our brother and sisters in Christ.

We traveled to the island of Biem, taking 4 missionaries to present the gospel for the first time, an island with approx. 2,000 people. On our way, these friends showed up to play! God's amazing creation!

Morning Worship Translator Workshop

"I Have A Maker"
I have a Maker, He formed my heart
Before even time began,
My life was in His hands.

He knows my name
He knows my every thought
He see each tear that falls,
And hears me when I call

I have a Father
He calls me His own
He will never leave me
No matter where I go!

Trusting in the Lord!

But it is good for me to draw near to God; I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all Your works. Psalm 73:28

Spending this Saturday enjoying all that HE has made and done in my life!

Trusting each moment in Him!

Life in Bougainville!

Praise the LORD!! Our new generator is installed and on Friday when the power cut off at 8:30 a.m. Michael flipped on the generator -hummmm, we had power for the entire center - all day!
Monday we begin our first translation work time for 2013, and we will have no interruptions due to power outages! The center will host 22-25 translators coming from islands around Buka-Bougainville. Pray for a great time of training, spiritual refreshment, and fellowship. We are so thrilled to be working alongside the nationals that are engaged in bringing God's Good News to them.

God's Amazing Creation

Take time to see what God has given us to enjoy. Today this little blessing landed on me. He shows His glory daily...are you looking for it?
Papa God, you are worthy to be praised and adored!
Psalms 100
