    Driggers Days Supporting Bible translation in Papua New Guinea via land transportation and youth ministry

    I am the Lord, the God of all the

    peoples of the world. Is anything too hard

    for Me?

  • PARTNERING WITH YOU MAY 2015

    Whats next?There are still many things that we need to accomplish before our departure, including but not limited to making sure Taylor and Tia are licensed and insured to drive, last minute shopping and packing, and saying see you later! to those of you that are able to attend our farewell gathering at our home church in York on June 27th. We praise God that He has blessed us through a partner so we can have a few special days as a family of six at their lake house next month. Lord-willing, we are scheduled to depart from Charlotte on July 6th and arrive in Ukarumpa on July 8th.

    Martys new job roles in PNG will be fleet manager (managing and maintaining all our organizations vehicles in-county) and volunteering in the youth ministry department (helping to plan and organize events). Sara will be working part time to co-manage the Teen Center (working with the youth to feed the hungry missionary masses for Burger Night several times during the four school terms of each year). We are excited to return to our home in Ukarumpa as well as settle Miriam and Jade into the new school year which begins July 22nd.

    Praise and Prayer Please join us in praising God for what He has done:

    We have been released by our Wyclie administrators to return to Ukarumpa.

    We have plane tickets from the US to the capital of PNG. Saras work permit has been approved. (Martys has been in place

    for some time already.)And praying with us for Gods provision for these needs:

    Please pray for our visas to be approved!!

    Please pray for all four of our girls, especially during our adjustment to a very new way of life apart from each other. Pray for their hearts to be guarded and for the Lord to meet them in their grief.

    Pray for precious times as a family and as we reconnect with partners before our departure in July.

    God has supplied for more than half of our one-time needs towards our return to PNG. Please pray for the remainder of these needs to be met so that we might not incur debt with our organization for training and our travel from Port Moresby to Ukarumpa.
