the

journey
january 2012
The time is here...
If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I se2le on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast. Psalm 139:9-10 NIV See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland. Isaiah 43:19 NIV
Can you believe it?! January 18: thats when I get on a plane to y away from Atlanta. Up unBl a couple weeks ago, I thought this Bme would never get here. I was sBll counBng down the months. Now, Im on a count-down measured in DAYS. Every morning when I wake up, I realize its one less day, start panicking because theres so much to do, then seNle down for some Bme with my Savior and realize once again that Hes got everything under control.

How you can pray
Praise the Lord- I have all my paperwork and plane tickets! I y out of Atlanta on January 18. Pray for wisdom in knowing what to buy and pack for living in PNG for four years. Pray for my 14-week training (9 in Nobnob, PNG, and 5 in a remote village) beginning January 25. Pray for my brother, Ben, as he is being deployed back to Afghanistan for about 8 months. Pray for Lauren and Carter as they live without him back home!

Please see the second page for informa3on about the next few months!

A couple weeks ago, I was gePng a liNle worried, wondering if maybe Im making a mistake... if maybe I heard God wrong. What if Im not supposed to do this? And I was reminded to remember. So when I looked back on the last year and a half of this specic journey, I was amazed at what all I remember. And when I held my visa in my hand (nally!), I could hear God saying, Remember. Remember how far weve come. Remember what Ive brought you through, what Ive taught you. remember all the precious Bmes weve had together this year. Remember the mountains Ive Did you know that almost every weekend over the last year or so language communities in moved or turned into molehills. Remember how Ive Papua New Guinea have been celebrating the translation of Gods word into their language? provided. Remember the milestones weve created Rain or shine, all across the country, each weekend another community celebrates the together. Remember the people Ive brought into your opportunity to hold the completed New Testament scriptures in their hands for the rst time. life to encourage you, liY you up, pray for you. And not just to hold it, but to understand it. To understand Gods message of love, grace, Remember my love for you, and never forget it.
salvation, and a life lived to the full. Sheltered from the pouring rain, dancers from the Molima language community in the Milne Bay area make music in celebration. Joel, one of the translation team coordinators and a native speaker of Molima, speaks from his own experience the day before this image was taken I look forward to this dedication. It is going to bring change actually when people have the word of God in their heart language. Change of mindset and attitudes, and the way they approach their spiritual life will also change. When they read the word, it will be very clear to them and the most important thing is what the Word of God is going to do in their own lives. Many people are looking forward to having the Word of God in our own language. We are so excited.
