Easily Bind Magazines Together - wikiHow I want to try this for my knitting magazines! It will help me keep track of them, not losing one, but keeping a year's worth together.

"Lords of the Earth"

A great book that I read long ago, that has impacted my thought patterns about missions was by Don Richardson: "Lords of the Earth". It's about New Guinea, and cannibals coming to know Christ. Richardson spoke in one of my missions classes at Calvary Bible College back in the '70's. I'll never forget how excited he was to have discovered that in every culture God has left some inkling of their need for Him. Every culture has some link that when the missionary discovers their beliefs, can be used to "oil" their understanding of the Truth. This is also true in Richardson's book, "Peace Child", and I'm eager to read a third book, "Eternity in Their Hearts".

Preparing for Papua New Guinea!!!

A year ago I was awarded a trip to visit a missionary. I chose Melanie Shustack in Papua New Guinea, since I'd heard she has a use for me stash of excess yarn!! Good reason, huh? Well I heard on Friday that Stan and I will indeed be able to get into Simbai where Melanie lives, and she is planning to be our hostess for 5 days! This involves not only the plane ride to the US, West Coast, to Australia, to Port Moresby, PNG, to Goroka, But then also a missionary bush plane ride into Simbai, with some hiking and 4-wheeler riding to boot!

We got our immunizations in August, then our flu shots. Malaria medicine in hand. Fred S is leading a work team to PNG with whom we are tagging along. He saw to buying our tickets and his wife, Jennifer delivered our Visa applications to DC a couple of weeks ago. Trusting all works out! I'm looking forward to getting to know Melanie, taking lots of pictures, so that I can tell her story and help other people get to know her, too. I hope to make Melanie's name well known at the ABWE Home Office, her sending agency and my workplace.
