Time for you to "Engage"

Well time is drawing near, very quickly, actually, for the official Kudjip Nazarene Hospital move. Next week November 4th KNH will start the transition from the old hospital building to the new buildings. Gina Pottenger, Managing Editor, Engage Magazine asked if Susan would be willing to do a phone interview about the new hospital and upcoming move. That took place this past Friday and you can hear the interview at www.engagemagazine.com sometime this next week, along with an article that was written by Dr. Bill McCoy on the new hospital. Susan needed to go to the Melanesia Field Office to have access to an outside line for the international phone call. As they were doing some testing before the actual interview they were having a hard time hearing Susan. Options for getting the interview were discussed and it came to mind to try our Digicel cell phones. Thank the Lord again for this blessing. After Gina in Kansas City tried a couple of times to get in and was unable, Susan made the call and the interview was completed, with good sound quality! Please be in prayer as this coming week, November the 4th through the 6th, we will be very busy people here at Kudjip Nazarene Hospital, making the move from the old to the new!

NEVER say NEVER!

The Lord sends blessings each day! Sometimes it may seem harder to see them than at other times. Then there are times when blessings are out there and you don't even know it and of course sometimes the opposite takes place. You know the blessing is out there but it doesn't show up, ... until the right time. Such was the case with the Easter box from our friends and former neighbors the Gaudings. They mailed it March 14, 2007 and it arrived October 2009. It took about 2 and half years to get here, so never say never. PNG customs was keeping it safe for us, it arrived to them on the 30th of March 2007 as the picture below shows. We appreciate the Gaudings
thoughtfulness and we appreciate the thoughtfulness of all who have sent cards, gifts and prayers these past 8 plus years, they do mean a lot to us! Each of you who think of us and say a pray when the Lord lays us on your mind, bless us with God's love and care. We had a church a few years back whose box was a few days short of a year in arriving, but the Gaudings are now the official, no doubt about it winners of the longest time it took a box to arrive to Papua New Guinea. So I guess no time is to long to arrive and to the best of our knowledge only one box is still out there somewhere in package land. So maybe the Gaudings hold on the "Longest Package to Arrive" title could be in jeopardy?! Thank you everyone for blessing our family, may the Lord bless each of you richly!
