Three weeks ago, Yangga Tumbe, our dear brother in Jesus and Neil, stood side by side on a mountain in PNG and shared this moment for a photo. Yangga has long stood by our side since that first day in 1995 when he knocked on our door and asked, "Do you believe in binding satan in Jesus Name?". He told us that after months of frustration, God had told him to come and see us. After months of frustration on our end, the answer to our prayer came at our door and knocked!
Yangga's valuable insights into Mesem culture helped us to better understand the obstacles faced by our Mesem friends and their animistic world view. Yangga continues to be a pillar in the Christian community among the Mesem.
Neil is home and an update will soon appear in your mailbox (just after I get the expense report turned in). The goals of this trip were for the most part accomplished. We have some outstanding prayer concerns that continue to be a matter for intercession but we are rejoicing that the Mesem have told us that they are anxious for a 2011 typesetting deadline with 2012 as the prayerfully anticipated date for the Mesem New Testament dedication.
More to come. Rejoicing in the One who exploits the darkness.
