Our
trip south was a blessing to our family. We were able to reconnect with
family and friends, as well as meet new friends. We received donations
from businesses and had several churches and individuals commit to
partner with us and support our ministry.
The
blankets we collected have arrived at the Cheyenne River Sioux
Reservation in South Dakota. In the end, we were able to collect about
20 blankets. These will be a huge blessing to those who receive them and
can literally be the difference between life and death! Many thanks to
those of you who generously donated!
January Retreat
The weekend of January 6-8, we taught at a retreat for First Presbyterian Church in Palisades Park, NJ.

We shared about the importance of ministering to First Nations people, our ministry in Papua New Guinea, we ministered in music, and also taught on the prophetic significance of the Biblical Holidays. Michael shared a missions challenge during one of our teaching sessions as well!

Our
goal all along has been to leave for Papua New Guinea in January(ish). We
still believe God wants us to do that. Tom will be flying over on February 3rd to finalize paperwork for our visas and to secure housing
in the capital city of Port Moresby. Jen, the kids, and Lexie (our
co-worker), will follow as soon as our visas and housing are in place.
We are very excited and ready to begin this next chapter in our
ministry!

Ways you can help....
Ticket Fund
We will need
approximately $7,500 for our family to fly to Papua New Guinea.
Tickets are running about $1,500 per person and there are 5 of us. Will
you please consider donating to our ticket fund? Your donations are
tax deductible!
Car Fund
Port Moresby
is a very spread-out city and our ministry will require lots of
driving. Pray with us about the provision of a used car. We'll need
about $10,000 USD to purchased a dependable, used SUV.
Pray with us...
- Wisdom as we make decisions regarding our departure.
- Safety and good health for Tom as he travels ahead of us.
- For God's provision of needed finances (plane tickets, vehicle, monthly support needs).
- Stamina for Jenny as she packs up the house and finalizes things on this end.
You
can make a huge difference in the lives of vulnerable women and
children in Papua New Guinea. Your faithful monthly donation will help
to feed, clothe, and educate victims of human trafficking.
Monthly partners are the backbone of our ministry. We can also use annual and one-time donations for special projects and ministry needs (such as our vehicle).
Please pray about joining our team!
