Thursday, Jan 5 This morning a few of us walked to a construction site in the village & got to encourage the workers building an all-denominational (very rare, PNG Christians very segregated) church! Then we headed over to Wewak Hospital to give out little cards we made & prayer. Nothing could prepare me for this….

Our first week consisted of orientations, classes about YWAM – its…

I’m here!! Last Saturday, my family and I flew into Maui and had the most special time together before they sent me off and said goodbye on the Big Island. I checked in to YWAM Thursday, checked out where I’ll be living, met my roommates and even fit in an ocean swim. Friday was full of…
