As I Leave...

I’m there already! I have been waiting for “The Exit”, disconnecting from all things safe, and stepping into a familiar, yet foreign place. And I get to on January 16th!

You know what I envision when someone talks with me about my trip to PNG? I see the airport in Port Moresby. It’s really smelly… but it’s my gateway.

My active participation hasn’t even started yet, but let me tell you- being a part of Interface has been challenging already! If doors were wide open in the beginning, they were swinging shut around October and November. I started to doubt, and started making plans for things I’d rather do.

And God, in true God style, just looked on, and let me do my thing.

Eventually, I heard, “Trust Me…”

That’s never something that comes natural to me though.

Then I heard it again- “You have to trust Me. It’s ok, I am Good. Walk with me…”

I crawled…

So, God came to me. He met me where I was, and showed me how to walk with Him, and put my faith in Him.

I leave for Goroka, Papua New Guinea on January 16, and will return February 28.

I will gladly welcome emails or letters while away- it’ll definitely help me not be homesick.


I thank you, my supporters, for helping me see God’s faithfulness.

So often, many of you have let me know that you have been- and will be- praying for me. I cannot adequately express how much that means- to know that I’m lifted up and covered in prayer, no matter what I may encounter. Thank you for just perpetually showing me your love and support- it is a very moving, humbling experience. Thank you for demonstrating your belief in the fundamental importance of “all the world knowing”.

That is exactly how it should be within The Body.

Please remember me when you look to Heaven. I will remember you.
