It's hard to believe our family has been in Barunga for 2 years now. So much has happened. Our kids have grown, our relationships have deepened, and our hearts seem to have enlarged a bit as well. There have been many things in the past 2 years that we have been blessed and challenged by. Hopefully this blog has been a blessing to folks who have wanted to keep up with what we've been doing. Here's a "Last two years" picture summary.
Just beginning to get our feet wet.... :) This was our first weekend in Australia!
Fellowship with the church ladies on a Sunday evening!
Teaching a lesson at a Baibul Study workshop! (Sabi Mowa Blanga Godwei)
Tuesday afternoon Baibul study with the church ladies!
Recording the Luk DVD in Kriol! :)
Cameron, Alice and Bethany REALLY getting their feet wet in our yard during "The Wet" season.
Making new friends "langa riba" (at the river)
Our faithful pooch, Olie. He's a goof, and we love him.
We had a special visit from Cheri's "mum and dad". :)
Cheri teaching a lesson at another discipleship course!
Here's our Kriol Team, "hard at work" planning for the next year of ministry.
And a Sunday service during the discipleship course in Barunga!
A family getaway to Nitmiluk National Park. This is a great place to remember we are a family and we love each other! :)
A short trip to Melbourne for AuSIL meetings, and then a fun train ride for daddies and kids... Poor Cheri only got a women's "pamper party". :( :)
Below is a pic from the song writing workshop we had last week in Barunga. It went really well, and people wrote 4 new songs using Kriol Scripture--and more in the works! :)
Here's a better picture of our team: (L to R) Rachel, John, Jenna, "Angelic" Margaret, me and Cheri, Alice, Bethany and Cameron!
Thank you all so much for all your prayers and support of our family as we continue to serve here in Australia. We are looking forward to what he will be doing in the future as well. May God be glorified in our lives as we serve Him together.
