Tyler and Emily in PNG

For my faithful followers, this week post will be brief. It is officially Monday morning as I sit in the Anchorage Intl Airport waiting to board my flight back to the main land USA. I will be visiting family and friends for the final time over Thanksgiving before I cross the Pacific to Papua New Guinea.

More later…Remember to give thanks and have a heart of gratitude this Thanksgiving week.

Prayer Request:
Application for Resident Visa – waiting on my visa to be lodged in PNG before I can apply to the embassy in D.C.
Financial Support – God will continue to pour out blessings and I will raise 100% support

The pastor has been preaching on Heart for God, The Sanctified Life for the past four weeks and today he quoted my favorite verse Matthew 16:24-25:

Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it.

As the pastor concluded the message he asked, do you see your world the way Christ sees your world? Paul saw life differently and he pursued the things that were to his spiritual advantage. When we have a heart for God and God alone, we begin to see our world differently.

The most important question that you’ll answer: Where are you in relationship to the will and purpose of God? Are you seeing through the eyes of Christ?

The first week of November brings snow, change of direction in American politics, and praise in ministry. I had one answer of prayer this past week, my Papua New Guinea work permit has been approved. It was a long 2 month process with many emails, communications, and corrections. The typical process takes between 2-3 months, so I feel blessed that it happened quick and without error. Praise God! I continue to have answer of prayer as people in church told me that they plan on giving monthly and one time, special gifts. My church even approved a one time gift equally one months ministry need. Praise God! Next hurdle, obtaining my resident visa.

I have mailed many letters this past week and prayed over the letters as I took them to the post office. I’ve been praying that God will go ahead and prepare the hearts and minds of those who will be opening the information packets. The Spirit of God is alive and moving.

Personally, I have been reading through Proverbs. The contrast between the wise and foolish is so imperative. As I look introspectively, I believe I see wisdom in my life and through my actions. As a young person, I don’t see myself as wise but I believe I am gaining in knowledge, understanding, and wisdom. This all comes from God as we seek him and study the Word daily.
