Yembi Yembi

We were blessed recently with the chance of a lifetime, to go witness the Yembi Yembis very own Bible dedication. With much hard work poured into this tribe, it has paid off.  They can now see Gods word translated into their very own words!  Could you imagine speaking but never learning how to write those words down? Not only did missionaries come to live with the Yembi Yembis to learn their culture and language but they also taught them how to read and write. Now for the first time ever they have Gods Word in their "tok ples" language! I hope you enjoy all the pics we took while we were there. Truly Amazing!

Summer 2013

We spent this summer in the Sepik of PNG helping out with the Interface program.  We had 6 countries being represented. Out of the 16 students we had 1 from Australia, 5 from Germany, 1 from Ireland, 6 from America, 1 from Canada and a NTM rep.couple from New Zealand.  We enjoyed our summer getting to know the students as well as the NTM staff in Wewak. Most days included classroom time in the morning, village exposure, lunch, a trip to the beach in the afternoon then back in time for dinner along with a few evening classes. We were so encouraged to hear the hearts of these young students who have a passion for missions. I believe 6 are looking into bible colleges now to further their education!  I took many pictures to show you what our summer looked like.

We got to see many kids on the beaches and it was a great time to work on more language.
