October Newsletter Every month we are humbled, and honored to be apart of what God is doing in PNG. This month I spoke at the Madang Provincial Youth Bung (conference). One of the most significant things was that many of the younger youth were touched by the Lord and became examples in responding to [...]  read more Posted By Paul and Carina Greer / November 12, 2008

Dying to Myself This is a picture of movie night at my house. As many of you know Wednesday nights the bible school kids invade my house for cookies, juice and movies. Mason (my eldest son) is not in this picture because he feel asleep before the movie was done. I love PNG, I love the people, and their [...]  read more Posted By Missionary Mommy - Carina Greer / November 7, 2008

Ministry at Pan African Christian University This week I had the privilege of leading worship for the students and faculty of PACU. It was a powerful time of ministry and the Lord moved. It's exciting to see these students being trained and released to not only Kenya but other African and international countries as well.We also had a team from the U.S. here with us this week. It was a small family team. Becka Edmonson was back from Nashville along with her Mom, brother Peter and friend Joy, both recently graduated from ORU in Tulsa. It was a big week for the sewing ministry. Brenda will update you more on that soon!??Blessings!...  read more Posted By Garry and Brenda Kean / November 1, 2008

Recovering In His Hands Thank you to all my friends and family, Its Sunday night here in Cairnes, AUS. So strange not to be in my PNG. Still very surreal how this has all come about. On Friday (Thursday USA), I had a mass removed on my right ovary that was larger than a cantalope. My dr. said he’d never seen [...]  read more Posted By Missionary Mommy - Carina Greer / October 26, 2008

Jeff, The open market, & Groups Jeff started out his first few weeks figuring out the garaje and tools available at the daycare. He also quickly went thru a long-awaited list of little items that needed repaired around the building. Jeff has also been going with Carlos for a weekly shopping adventure at the open market on Mondays. It’s a half hour [...]  read more Posted By Jeff and Joy Maurer / October 25, 2008

Teacher Trainings My first few weeks at the daycare were spent observing what is done in the classrooms. Because teachers in Honduras are only required to have a high school education; they are not trained for teaching. I wanted to see what common problems they had, or things that would help make things work more smoothly for [...]  read more Posted By Jeff and Joy Maurer / October 25, 2008

ESL Class I just started ESL class this last week at the daycare with the elementary age kids & their teachers. At first I wasn’t sure how to go about getting started, since I have a limited knowledge of Spanish, but want to teach the classes without a translator. I’ve always been interested in teaching an ESL [...]  read more Posted By Jeff and Joy Maurer / October 25, 2008

Paul's Travel Advisory This week, the US Government travel advisory page got a little hotter, with new warnings and information about the bad stuff going on down here. There's no glossing it over; the truth is, there are some rough people in this part of the world, and they will stop at nothing to see their own ends accomplished. Yes, the parties involved tend to keep it between themselves, but if someone gets caught in the middle, well... there it is.When news like this proliferates, friends inevitably worry about us (and we get caught up in the worry-fest at times ourselves), asking whether we've really thought...  read more Posted By Don and Sandy Godwin / October 21, 2008

Coming Home Last weekend, the girls and I (Sandy) drove home (Huntington Beach) to fulfill a speaking engagement at our home church. We had a great weekend checking in on as many people as we could, including a special time with our daughter Janny and her kids, Summer and Ruby. It was awesome to be at our home church, hugging friends and laughing together.On Saturday evening, as we left HB, we felt a twinge of sadness. Here we were leaving our friends again, and the feeling was only too familiar. Be assured there were some tears, and a few heavy sighs on the way home. But after a while, we fell to talking...  read more Posted By Don and Sandy Godwin / October 20, 2008

A Dinning Room Table We had a left over bed frame in the house when the Barahonas moved out. At the same time, we couldn’t find a table that would hold more than six people in any of the stores here. So Jeff got to thinking about how to put one together that would be sturdy, and would hold [...]  read more Posted By Jeff and Joy Maurer / October 9, 2008
