In BC, especially in recent years, we have had some awful wildfires which is why it is still so strange to see this from my porch and not feel concerned. It sounded like it was burning right beside us and, when the wind changed direction, it smelled like it too. Just one of the differences in this different life. #mccarthysinpng #sendthemccarthys #burninggardens #gardensburned #gardensrenewed #regrowth
Have you ever woken up and not felt well? Have you ever had that feeling where you’re just not getting better and you know you need to seek more medical attention? Things change and sometimes things change quickly. And, here, when things change, the changes can involve quick decisions and international flights to seek further answers. Over the past few weeks, a dear friend and fellow Science teacher here at Ukarumpa International School, Sheila Nelson, was experiencing just that. [ 614 more words ]

This morning I hung four bins of laundry before heading off to work and now I’m listening to the sound of the rain from my classroom and hoping that the sun breaks through again so that I don’t have to repeat the process again tomorrow!

“From the ends of the earth, I cry to you for help when my heart is overwhelmed. Lead me to the towering rock of safety.” Psalm 61:2 (NLT) Have you ever felt overwhelmed? Have you ever felt like the tasks before you were too great. The unknowns too daunting. The stakes too high? I have felt this way so palpably in the past few months. [ 2,359 more words ]

The Kanite people received their New Testament in the early 2000’s after Jon’s Aunty Joy and her translation partner, Gwen, had spent numerous years, on and off with this people group. Jon and our friend, Pastor Ham, drive out today, celebrate with the Kanite people and drive back before dark and it’s a little over three hours away. Please pray for safety, for a great celebration and, mostly, for God’s name to be glorified. You can also pray for me as I hold down the fort and teach all of Jon’s classes and my classes for the day.
Thank you friends! #sendthemccarthys #mccarthysinpng #kanite #sil #silpng #roadtrip #nosubstituteteachersinukarumpa

This year, the Kapul class had the chance to go and visit the dental clinic here on centre. [ 658 more words ]

One ‘pasin bilong Ukarumpa’ is our regular ‘Mornings in Prayer.’ Monthly, there is a Thursday morning where all departments except for Aviation and the School break from 8:30 - 10am and gather at our Meeting House, where we also attend church and community events.

Each student represents family units who serve in various ways here in Papua New Guinea. Their parents might be mechanics, electricians, language survey workers, pilots, store managers, HR personnel or Bible translators and having a school here that provides a quality, Christ-centered education is an incredibly large part of enabling these adults to be here and continue the work that God has set before them in light of their unique talents and gifts.
