Christmas Eve in Buka Island PNG



Michael & I are spending our first Christmas away from home and family, but God has surrounded us with His love and friends here at the centre.  We shopped in town for bread (we got the last loaf), for homemade stuffing, bought a small chicken, and because of all the care packages we will even have homemade chocolate and pecan pie!  The amazing part is His Story!  Not the place we are, or the gifts we have, but the reason He came to earth!  For you and me, His abounding love for All.  
Share Christ love and Good News This season.
Merry Christmas and a Christ filled new year!

We Are Here at Buka Island

It has been a full year that we have been preparing to be here at Buka Island serving the Bible translators,
assisting in Bible translation.
We have visited 6 out of 8 Regional Centers
and are ready to get to work

What a thrill to be able to sit in the co-pilot seat during our travels.
It has been a amazing journey to be in the will of God!

I am in awe at the creation of the LORD!
This is the view from the Regional Center.  We are about 200 feet above sea level perched upon a cliff.

I sometimes ponder on all His creations.
This is my lovely wife Cheryl.  She certainly makes the flowers blush.

It's good to find reliable transportation on the Island.
I think the alternate fuel may be someones sence of humor.

The center offers many challenges. 
Solar collector for hot water, rain water for drink and shower.

Keep us in your prayers as we transition into our new positions
