What a marvelous God we serve, and what prayer warriors we have standing
with us!
While on our way to/through northeast Australia, we posted and emailed about Julie’s
severe hip pain which developed a few days before our trip began. She was hurting so much that,
after arriving at the missionary lodge in Cairns, the staff loaned her an
electric cart to get from the check-in office to our motel-like room because of
the slight hill she would have had to climb.
After praying once again, I spent some time massaging the area around
her right hip before we slept (horizontally stretched out for the first time in
two days). At 3:30 am Julie woke better
and I spent more time with a similar massage.
We arrived at the airport at 5 am to catch the 7 am flight to Port
Moresby, the capital of Papua New Guinea. We had a lot of wait time at the gate. What a
blessing to see her jogging through the
terminal! Honestly, the massage may have been needed but we truly believe a call for others to pray about this was the catalyst for her healing.
We are currently in a missionary friends’ village,
having had an eventful flight into an airstrip that is said to be the second
most treacherous airstrip in PNG. I only
wish my video recorder hadn’t malfunctioned so that I could show you the
landing live.
Still, we are much better rested and Julie is working with John Allen
and the Kamea translator, Ben, as I type, recording more of God’s Word in the
ninth Bible video for this people group.
Hundreds of people are expected to collect here to see all 9 videos
tomorrow (Sunday) night in a huge celebration of God’s Word in their heart
language.
Have I mentioned that God is so good?
