Jamie and Lisa Halverson

30,000 Miles later...
We are settling back into life and ministry in Ukarumpa, Papua New Guinea.  Over the past 9 months it was good to see many of you as we traveled and shared about the work of Bible translation here in PNG.  But it is also good to be back and settled in one place again.

Jamie has returned to the aviation department.  However, he will be working as a mechanic for a couple of months before he starts flying again due to the current shortage of aircraft mechanics.

Lisa’s primary job will be taking care of Thad, but since several translators are eager for her assistance with linguistics projects she will help as time permits. And Thad, well, he is settling in just fine and willing to help wherever he can.

“Pray for us too, that God may open a door for our message, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ....Pray that [we] may proclaim it clearly as [we] should.” Colossians 4:3-4  It is our desire that during this three year term in PNG, we would speak clearly God’s message—in love and without fear—to whomever we come in contact with and in whatever we do. We want them to know God and experience His peace through trusting Him fully. 
PRAISE that Lisa & Thad’s PNG visas came through quickly!
PRAISE for safety in all our travels
PRAISE for God’s continued provision  of all our needs.
ASK for wisdom in raising Thad to be a follower of God.
ASK for wisdom and clear direction during our upcoming biennial branch conference.
ASK for boldness and an open door to minister directly to Papua New Guineans.
