Letters from the Ends of the Earth
Hello
So much happening and that keeps us busy.
We are finding some interesting ways to connect with the community. You have heard about the children’s choir, but I have a great story to share about how that is opening doors. Continue reading “Letter 117 Open Doors”
Hello prayer partners
Today I was again impressed by the commitment of the students. One of the students received a report that his father was quite ill and that he needed to come home, maybe to bury his father. He left on Saturday and returned late Sunday back at school. He reported that his father is ill but there is nothing to do but wait and so he chose to return to school and hope that all would be well until he returns home at the end of school in about three weeks. I would appreciate your prayer for J Y and his family during this time. Continue reading “Letter 116 The Drought”
Angels on duty
Perry – Nancy, I think it is time to share a couple of stories that we don’t often share.
Nancy – Are you sure about that? They are a bit unusual and hard to believe.
Perry – No, I am sure. People have been faithfully praying for us and they should know how God is answering their prayers.
Nancy – So which story should we tell first? Mine or yours. Continue reading “Letter 115 – Angels on Duty”
Hello everyone,

Dear Dr
I remember our class on curriculum development last year. It has been a blessing and very useful. We are now in PNG helping to build and start a pastoral training program. The construction is almost done and applications have been sent out to the key leaders to give to qualified students from their churches. Continue reading “Letter 113 Curriculum”

My Friend
Well, I am involved in construction again. The good news is that D is the one in charge and all I need to do is help when needed. Thought I would share a timeline look at what has been accomplished so far. Continue reading “Letter 111 – Construction”
My friend
Greetings! Today is an unusual Saturday. Perry left yesterday to spend a few days with John at school. Jeff left early this morning for a Boy Scout camping trip. Jess left at 11 am with her Brownie group to talk to other Brownies around the world on a ham radio. From there she’s going to an afternoon birthday party. So, here I sit by myself. What a good chance to work on my correspondence. Continue reading “Letter 110 Life and other stuff”
