Last week we were in two different places:
I (Clare) was in Pennsylvania at the Heartstream Resources Member Care Course. Andrew, Levi, Heidi and Eowyn stayed in North Carolina and enjoyed a day trip to the North Carolina Renaissance Festival.
The week of training was immensely helpful in preparing me to continue as a pastoral care facilitator in Papua New Guinea. All that I learnt will help me to be a better support to those in challenging situations, whether through listening, asking useful questions, or helping people work through conflict. I'm keen to get back to this role in January.
At the Autoshop, staff are eagerly awaiting Andrew's return. In a recent letter Andrew's manager, James Ernandes, described Andrew as 'irreplaceable in his role'. He shared how Andrew helps the other Autoshop staff better understand the local culture, and how the staff have been helped many times by his commitment to grace, understanding and patience.
James added, 'And he is one of our best mechanics to boot. We depend heavily on Andrews knowledge base of motorcycles and small engines'. To read the whole letter, click here.
We are so encouraged to see how the Lord continues to bring in financial partners in a whole variety of ways. We still need $825/£650 per month in regular support in order to meet our Wycliffe ministry budget for the next three years. If you are planning to start giving financially or would like to change your current commitment in any way, we'd be very grateful if you could let us know; this will help us reach the point of being released by Wycliffe to travel to back to Papua New Guinea.
It is amazing, as we meet people on our travels, to discover how many of you are praying for us regularly. We are most grateful.
