Food kept fresh by keeping it alive. Turtle is one of this village’s
traditional foods. They are only caught using traditional methods, and only
eaten on special occasions, so they aren’t likely to wiped out, at least by
these people. |

Michael talking with some people in Bulal Village. We had many good
conversations about life, life in Jesus Christ, and culture. They were curious
about what it was like in the USA. |

I’m sure that God has something good planned for this boy, whose name is
Baseh. I still remember the time he was unconscious with malaria, and his
mother was hysterical. One of his brothers had died from malaria. Lori went
over, prayed for him, and gave him some medicine. He recovered and was up and
playing the next day. Several months before this picture was taken, he had a
bad skin disease. We saw it when we visited, and sent back some medicine for
him via Pastor Simon, who lives about a half hour walk away. The medicine and
the prayers worked together, and it made us happy to see Baseh with healthy
skin when we visited his village. |

This truck serves as the “bus” ministry vehicle for Holy Trinity
Foursquare Church at Dylup Station, on the North Coast Road in Madang
Province. We, with the help of our partners, help fund the cost of using this
vehicle on Sundays to help people get to church. This church is also reaching
out in areas that trucks can’t go to, by starting home fellowships in remote
villages.

One of many very tall coconut trees. Falling coconuts can be very
dangerous, so resting under palm trees with ripe coconuts in them is a bad
idea. |

This is a gathering of church elders and their families that invited us
over for lunch after church on Sunday, the 10th of October 2004. They fed us a
very nice meal of Barramundi fish, bread, rice, and local fruits and
vegetables. They were very hungry for more of the things of God and eager to
share the good things God has been doing. We discussed some of the miracles
God has been doing and the many people who have been getting saved and the way
the church has been growing. Praise God! |

May God be praised, who created beautiful flowers with pleasant

If you sell enough broccoli, maybe you could buy an electronic game, too.
