Jim had an amazing opportunity to speak at the 75th anniversary
celebration of New Tribes Mission in Papua New Guinea. After retiring from PNG in 2021, God opened the doors for him to go there and speak again to four different groups.
Thank God that many of the people there know and love Christ. It made all the years they lived there with them all well worthwhile.
“We want to thank all of you who prayed and gave financial assistance for this trip.”
Let us praise God for this opportunity to revisit the work he was a part of for so many years.
Pray for Jim and Kathy’s health and for all their financial needs.
