The boat has sailed!
Friends.
Another milestone has been reached in our journey to PNG. Today the moving company came and now has taken all of our items for overseas. We hope and pray that they all arrive securely and without any mishap. Marcia and I will now live for two months with the bare essentials; good thing we wear our uniforms everyday. We were blessed to have so many friends donate items of clothing and study bibles and our own School for Officers Training helped out with much needed nursery school supplies and toys. Our Salvation Army Trade store{uniforms} also came though with all kinds of specialty items and I know the Cadets of Papua New Guinea will be so appreciative. We say a big thank you to all who have given gifts and all who continue to pray for Marcia and I. As time gets closer to our departure we sense the hand of God and His continual leading in our lives and while there is an anxious spirit at times, in our spirit we also have an inner peace.
Blessings.
Jim.

We can relate a little bit to your situation--we sold pretty much everything in our house except our bed and appliances back in July, thinking that we would be selling our home in August and staying with family until we left for Brazil. Well, the house hasn't sold, the visas haven't come and it looks like we'll be here at least until January! Although our house has a distinct echo from the empty rooms, it's actually been easier to clean and it has brought a simplicity to our lives. :) Know that you two are in our thoughts and prayers!
We're thinking of you! Since we're in training we often think of you guys being in training in a different location! We're praying for you guys.
Jim and Marcia, I am proud of you doing a tour of duty in PNG. I wish I were in your place. Yet, I truly only wish for God's will to be done in my life and I am confident that the Lord has His way with me. We will keep in touch. Love and prayers, your friend David
What a wonderful advanture! God bless you and bless you both. Thanks for this website, and for keeping us all informed. Hope you'll share your needs.
We love you,
Jim and Marcia,
May God be with you both and may the
Holy Sprit help to do his work.
Bill and Lori Droste
