In His Steps

Hi, everyone! Thanks for praying for us continually these last few weeks! We have really felt the impact of your prayers.

Aaron and I thought it was time to give yet another health update on the family.

On Monday, 20th, we took the boys in for a physical.

The doctor said Austin looked great!

She then followed that with he'll have to get 3 shots

and blood taken for a lead screening, hemoglobin and iron test.

For the next 24 hours he ran a high fever and developed a sore throat.

It is Tuesday evening and his body seems to be adjusting much better now.

Ethan also had to get his blood taken for lead screening, hemoglobin and iron test. She seemed rather concerned about his continuing breathing problems while sick and diagnosed him with Asthma.

She is also sending him to a ears, nose and throat specialist because of his many ear infections.

She is leaning towards having tubes put in sooner than later.

He is presently on 3 different steroids and finishing up 1 antibiotics.

We are giving him treatments every 4 hours through the day and night and he seems to be doing much better.

At least one of these steroids will be continued every day for the next 2 months.

Aaron and I have been feeling much better...

Don't be discouraged because we sure aren't!

We realize this is just a season and the Lord has given us so much

peace that we don't even recognize it as an issue.

We are so excited to be here and are looking forward to finishing our first year of training in 8 weeks!!!

Wow...time as flown by and we are so excited to keep pressing forward!

We also have some important prayer request ...

Why Tribal Missions?

So why are we willing to go and live in the middle of nowhere for years, far removed from our families, even from civilization?

Because we’re convinced that God desires every people group on earth to have the opportunity to know Him. He has provided one way for that to happen: by believing that His Son, Jesus Christ, died on the cross to pay the penalty of our sins. Nothing apart from that makes us acceptable to God. We know that without someone like us going to these remote people groups, the message of Christ’s death will never be heard.

Matthew 28:19-20 “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit , teaching them to observe all that I commanded you and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

Romans 10:14 "How then shall they call upon Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher?”

We desire to be a part of the NTM tribal church planting endeavor there. Incredibly, Papua New Guinea has a total of over 850 languages. Of those languages, 700 have never heard the gospel of Jesus Christ and 500 of those languages don’t even have a chance to hear because they lack the Word of God in their own mother tongue. We hope by God’s grace, to take part in planting an indigenous church among one of PNG’s isolated tribes.

We strongly believe that God’s desire is for all men to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth. We hope to be used of God to make Him known in Papua New Guinea.
