Hello Olgeta !!!! Hello Everyone, We are so glad to hear that all is well! We miss you guys and pray for you daily to be encouraged and to give it to the disciples there in PNG. Please tell the church I personally miss and love them and can't wait to hear about all the amazing things that have taken place in Port Moresby and the other areas of PNG. The members in the Detroit Church are glad to hear about how God is moving in a great way for the disciples there, so continue to make Jesus Lord. I hope to visit one day soon.
Love

Hello all... Hey guys, sounds like you are having a great time and working through some hassles with the travel, but that's the way it goes eh? One thing world travel has done for me these past several years has been to give me more patience and flexibility.
Tell all our incredible PNG brothers and sisters Wendy and I send our love. We would love to be on the trip, but multiple years of international travel time for me has taken it's toll in getting back home and heading back to work... not to mention I am an old baldy now.
Seeing the pics you all took really gave me deep joy. Those PNG disciples are great people... I hope to have their depth of faith some day.
Your families are all doing well, and everyone seems to be getting enough food... ha!
I pray your experience in the highlands is great... having rain up there makes me a bit concerned as I saw what it does to the "roads", or at least what they call roads.... it has been quite nice back home... temps in the 60's and 70-'s a lot, but we could use a little more rain.
Wendy and I had a great vaca to Phoenix and spending time with brothers and sisters their. We took LJ and Romika to the Grand Canyon... they were not as impressed as they should have been... but that's what vidoe games will do to you.
I pray all your preaching and teaching is really encouraging and the HS is moving you all in a great way.
Just in case you are a little interested, the Red Wings were knocked out of the playoffs in round 1 by Edmonton in 6 games, and the Pistons won their first round in 5 games over Millwaukee... Although I am reporting this to you, I have no emotional attachment to either outcome as I have abandoned my affection to over sized, steroid injected and over paid atheletics... ha.
Give our best to all,
Love
Tim
A praying couple Kathy,
Thanks for the note 'God Strikes Again!' Prayer is awesome. Something I am working on taking higher in my personal life.
It is good to know that you are praying that side (as I am sure Greg is doing the same - as he wrestles with the little ones!)
O-
Photos? Hey guys- I was just on the admin page and wondered if you meant to publish those pretty pics of the ladies in PNG garb?? If so, just go back into the control panel, into blogs, and hit "publish". You'll see what I mean. BTW, that is so cool about how you got hooked up in the highlands! Sweet! God is good to you! all my love, jen
Encouraged Thanks to all of you for giving us the opportunity to see God work in a wonderful way. He certainly is caring for all of you and we're so thankful for that. We are living this journey with you and look forward each day to hear the news. I know you've been a great blessing to the brothers and sisters there and we thank you for being there. We love all of you and look forward to hearing all the stories when you return. God bless and keep you.
You all are in our prayers! I'm glad to hear things are going even better than expected. God is awesome! The pictures you all are sending are great. Seeing a glimpse of what is happening is exciting. We are looking forward to you coming back and to fill us in. We saw your family on Sun and they are doing fine. Take care!
We're grateful that God is taking care of you We are thankful that God is taking care of you and blessing you so much. God has done great things so far and I know that he will continue. We are praying that the mud isn't too bad.
We are proud of all of you. We can't wait 'til you're home, Kathy.
Love, Greg, Krista, and Gavin
Take Care I wish Jen and I could be with you all. We hope you are having a great time and are learning a lot from our brothers and sisters in PNG. Give them all our love.
Encouraging Hi Brian,
I'm glad you all are having such an impact and are healthy. I pray for your continued joy. The teens there are inspirational. It would be awesome if some of the teens could come back to the states and share with our teens their visions and convictions. Lots of love, Dana
Prayers and well wishes! Please say hello Hi guys, please give a very warm hug and hello to Tony and Tasha from both Jill and myself.

Pete and Deena - Glad to hear that all is going so well. We love the photos! Keep sending them. Any sign of Sago and Susan? If so, send them our love. Also, a big hug to Tony and Tasha from us. Tell Tony I will miss him at camp this year!!
Hello from the D! Hello,
This is Otoma. I just wanted to write and let you know that we are fine this side. We do miss you guys and hope (and pray) that you are safe! I know you are preaching the word and 'speaking a word of encouragement to the churches.' Say hi to Tony and Tasha. And please tell Tony I still remember a message he preached about the 'dash' (or "-"). He preashed about how we are born in a certain year and we die years later. Question is what are we going to do in-between. What is going to be written for our 'dash'. Please tell Tony to keep preaching powerful messages so he can send some fired up PNG disciples to help us send out a mission-team together one day!!!
Brian, I left a voice mail on your phone for Wynston. I wanted to make sure he was taking care of the family. Afterall, he is the man of the house right now. Anyway, he has not called me back. And I got word Sunday that your wife was being nosy and listened to the message I left for W.
I'm sure you will all come back with more vision to do great things here in Detroit.
Tell 'Dr. Luke' I said hi also. And tell Anabelle to keep being fired up and joyful. Also tell the mother of Gavin that he was on stage (with a bunch of other kids this Sudany) they were all singing a song from Shrek 2. It was fun. Also, Gavin is all grown up, paying taxes, working, married.... (so hurry back!)
Your brother and friend,
Otoma

Hello! Hi Brian and all! I'm so happy to hear that you are well and having a great time in PNG. I had Collin read a blog entry today in church; I believe it was one that Greg had written. Thanks for all the updates!
See you all soon!
We are a group of 7 disciples from the Detroit Church of Christ off to Papua New Guinea to visit friends and family and to serve the poor and needy in Port Moresby and the highlands!... full info
