God’s Word
If you have a Bible in your language; it is all of God’s grace. You have in print what countless people in ages past did not. We can so easily become numb to the cost of having a Bible in our language. The men who preserved it risked torture, imprisonment, and death to preserve and translate God’s Word into the common language of the day. My Bible reading today was in Joshua 8.

The last 2 months have felt so packed with blessings, hardship, excitement, and momentum towards Papua New Guinea. With the speed that we are approaching our desired departure I can almost hear the sound of kids clamoring on the jet as we head to PNG. Then again, that will be a 14 hour flight so it may go from joyful clamoring to a little crazy. Lorie has been enjoying her time with the kids being a dedicated mommy; she is an excellent homeschool teacher as well. She has been taking the kids to swim lessons – that has been fun to watch the kids (lots of tears). Lorie has also had a great...
