Tyler and Emily in PNG

Happy New Year or Hepi Niu Yia (Tok Pisin)!

One of the new year activities is to toss out the old calendars and hang up the new calendars. Yes, it is time again to roll out the new calendar with the pretty photos and replace 2014 calendars. Your new calendar may already be filled with events, vacations, appointments, and birthdays. Or you calendar simply looks like the one below.

Neither Emily or I are into New Year Resolutions so we like to set goals moving into the New Year. This New Year we have one goal in mind. We both fully believe that serving in ministry requires one thing, prayer. In fact the strategy of Pioneer Bible Translators is exactly that, prayer.

We are both humbled by the continued support by many of you either financially or prayerfully or both. Our ministry with PBT in PNG would be literally a heap of rumble if it were not with prayer. I believe prayer is the grease to the gears which God enables the wheels to turn. We are grateful and honored to those who are faithful in prayer.

This New Year we have committed to praying for those who support us financially. Our calendar is not filled with events or appointments rather with the names of those who regularly give to our ministry with PBT. Each day we will be praying for one financial partner asking God to bless the giver and return blessing in their daily life. If you are a regular financially partner, you can be assured that we are praying for you this year, 2015.

Not to be forgotten, each Sunday we will be lifting up a different church that is a partner with us. As an extension of the church in PNG, we are appreciative of the global outreach each church has demonstrated. We will be praying that God will bless the church’s local efforts in reaching the lost and making disciples.

May God bless you in 2015!
