Landing in Papua New Guinea

In the beginning of April my team arrived in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea. We headed to the "Liberty" - the medical mercy ship that is currently preparing for its journey up along the northern coast of PNG. Our first mission was to give the regular crew a break from their normal duties. And so, after settling in to a bunk, we spent our first week cleaning the ship.

Being in a new country with new surroundings, as well as living on a ship was quite an adjustment. One that I am still going through. But God is faithful and He has been my helper each step of the way.

Here are some pictures to give you an idea of where and how I spent my first week here in PNG:

Landing in Hawaii

I launched on January 10th, 2024, to Kona, HI, for 6 months of required training called DTS, which is broken down into 3 months of classroom lecture followed by a 3 month supervised outreach trip. During my training, I fellowshipped with other missionaries, learned about Papua New Guinea's culture and language, and studied scripture. God's glory shines so brightly through his creation in Hawaii! I am excited about the work God is doing in me as he prepares me to serve in Papua New Guinea!
