    Before the Throne

    Pray for Ukarumpa Interna1onal School (see ar1cle to the right)

    Pray as I prepare to share with partners about my experience from my rst three years in Papua New Guinea - for guidance in what to say, and for clear communica1on.

    Pray as I seek to get to know my neighbors in Lincolnton, NC, and that I will be able to love them as they need it.

    Pray for more nancial partners as I reach my budget goals for returning back to PNG.

    Praise the Lord that he has provided a way for me to take a course, or two, this summer through an online program.

    It is Finished...he said, It is nished, and he bowed his head and gave up his spirit... And behold, the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bo>om. (John 19:30, Ma>hew 27:51)

    Confession 1me: reading through the Bible has never been something that I enjoyed doing, un1l now. I started on January 1 and am s1ll going strong. I think the thing that kept me from it before was that I didnt grasp how important every single verse is, so I would give up somewhere around Levi1cus (shocking, I know).

    I just made it through Levi1cus, and it was beau1ful. I also read it along with MaOhew, which made it all the more beau1ful. God created the Law as a way for His people to be with Him, and for Him to be with His people! Because of His holiness, they couldnt come close to Him. But because of the law, their lack of holiness was revealed to them, and the temple was a way for them to be reconciled to, and have a rela1onship with, their God.

    When Jesus came, He fullled the law - meaning He was the nal, perfect, sinless sacrice needed so that con1nuous communion with God was possible... so that our sins are covered and we can live fully in His grace. Lets con1nue to celebrate this new life!

    Ukarumpa International School (UIS)Please pray for this school that is so near to my heart! UIS is where I teach when Im in Papua New Guinea (PNG). It is accredited through WASC and is part of ACSI, ranging from Pre-K through grade 12.

    In order to allow Wyclies language and support workers to do their jobs, the school oers high-quality educa1on for their children. UIS has families from around 20 na1onali1es and almost every con1nent. Right now the school is very low on teachers. (But praise the Lord that we just got a 4th grade teacher to nish out the school year!)

    Pray for the current teachers - right now theyre on term break, so pray for rest and rejuvena1on. Pray for administra1on - the Principal and Vice Principals oversee two campuses containing around 200 kids. Pray for the students - as theyre dealing with life in another culture as well as obtaining a full-1me educa1on. And yes, please pray for more teachers to come our way!

    Love,

    PartnershipTheres no way I can do this work without other people. I need partners - those who come alongside me and take part in the work in the way that God calls them. Here are a few of the kinds of partners I need on my team:

    Prayer Warrior | Spiritual Warfare is a reality, especially when you are trying to proclaim the Gospel of Christ - Satan will do anything to hinder that. And prayer is our best combat in this baOleeld. Consider joining my team as a prayer warrior - ask me how you can eec1vely be a part of this.

    Financial Partner | Im in this for the long-haul, and with that comes the need for people who can give from their monetary resources on a regular basis. Wyclie is a faith-based organiza1on, requiring that I raise 100% of a monthly budget they set for me. I must have partners commiOed to sending me, for as long as they are able. While Im in the US for 2015, I need funds for con1nuing educa1on, supplies (like a new computer), travel to report to partners and poten1al partners, and basic living expenses. In order to return to PNG in January, I must be at 100% of my return budget, which is currently $255 short. Let me know if you would like to help with one-1me expenses or my monthly PNG budget. You can give by check through the mail (see boOom of rst page) or online (see the grey box below).

    Advocate | So many of you already partner with me by praying and giving. Thank you for that. I have another job for you! Tell your friends about the work that God is doing through Bible Transla1on in PNG and how he is using me to further that work. If its hard for you to communicate directly with them about this, ask me how to make it easier!

    My Atlanta Home

    I lived in Atlanta for seven years before moving to PNG, and I miss it! A sweet family has been hos1ng me every 1me Ive travelled to Atlanta

    the last few months - Im so thankful for them in my life!

    This summer I get to live in Atlanta semi-full-1me as a lovely couple are opening up a basement apartment for me. Ill get to be involved in the

    produc1on of the musical Annie Get Your Gun while I connect with my partners based in Atlanta and take my online classes. Im so excited!

    Id love to connect with you, if you re in the area!

    I got to spend a week in Orlando at Wycliffes headquarters in February. These are other families who

    serve with me in Papua New Guinea!

    This is where I live in North Carolina - the beautiful small-town city of Lincolnton... I love it!

    A special thanks to all of you who have been a partner in my ministry the last several years!
