We are here

O God, your ways are holy.
    Is there any god as mighty as you? 

 You are the God of great wonders!
    You demonstrate your awesome power among the nations. 

Psalms 77:13,14

For over 2 years we have been sharing with people God’s new plan for our lives.  It involves living in Ukarumpa, Papua New Guinea as support staff for missionaries here.  We have had the privilege of meeting several translators as well as their colleagues who supply technical help with telephone and computers, communications, medical care, transportation, and spiritual support.  It is a privilege to be on the center with many serving our God.  We have met people from Germany, England, Australia, Sweden, Finland and of course the nationals.

Many things here are the same as at home but then again many things are not.

I will try and list a few differences:

The door knobs turn to the left

It is normal to sell expired food

Electricity goes off at any time (fortunately it goes back on quickly)

Couches are a covered piece of foam on a wooden bench (Mattresses too)

Everyone takes lunch 12 to 1

It gets light around by 6am and dark by 7pm

You can plant a garden all year long

It is not appropriate to hold hands with your spouse

Toilets have an option of half flush or full flush

The store closes for 11 days during the holidays
