This is one of the beautiful views from the Ukarumpa International School Primary Campus. Not a bad view to stare at day after day, right?![]()

We would love it if you would come and join us here in Ukarumpa. We need people in every department and the school is no exception. We need teachers, administrators, learning assistance teachers and so much more. ![]()

If you are interested, please feel free to contact me or check out Teach Beyond's website. You can come short term or look into coming long term. We'd love to share this view with you!![]()

I have loved teaching yearbook/photography, in addition to my Science classes, this year. I have been thankful for the opportunity to share my old camera bodies with some of the students and a few others have their own cameras which is nice but the two cameras that the school has for this class are significantly outdated. ![]()

I am looking forward to continuing to teach this course when we return from home assignment but I would love to return with some more equipment for the students. It would be so nice to be able to offer equal equipment for all students so that this course is available to all. ![]()

I have been happily shooting with a Fuji camera for a number of years now and their set up with the settings on top of the camera and aperture ring on the lens make them ideal for teaching students how to shoot in manual mode. They can instantly see how the changes affect their photo and that is a huge help in the learning process.![]()

If you love photography, education and working with youth, would you consider helping us purchase camera bodies, lenses and external flashes for the students at Ukarumpa International School? ![]()

In December, I had the privilege of celebrating the life of one of our students' dads in the nearby town of Kainantu. It was a beautiful service that was a testimony to God's work in his life and the life of his family. He will be sorely missed. ![]()

Over the past months, Jondavid-Kelli Lovell have hosted this wonderful discipleship morning called DIVE. It is open to anyone from the secondary campus and it is a discipleship training program. Ben has been attending regularly and we are so thankful that this sweet couple has come to PNG to serve and has done so joyfully and wholeheartedly. They have filled many roles here in Ukarumpa and we are very thankful that their family came and followed God's call to serve in PNG for a short time. Thank you, so much, Lovell's for your service!![]()

If you've thought about coming and serving overseas, don't forget that you don't have to commit to an entire lifetime. You can come for 6 months, a year, 2 years - however you feel God leading you and you will absolutely be a blessing to the work that is happening here in PNG and to the families who are involved in that work. It takes a whole centre to support Bible translation and you could be a part of that centre. ![]()

If you are interested in serving, don't hesitate to reach out and ask me any questions you might have!![]()

Before the end of last semester, the students put on a spirit week and one of the days was 'dress like your teacher.' These kids did a great job and, even though I wasn't wearing a skirt that day, that really is my 'Ukarumpa uniform' 🙂 I also love the muscles on Jon's look-alike!![]()

I have asked myself, what does He expect from us? And the answer has been encouraging. He expects us to show up - with all of our flaws and imperfections and, more than that, He extended the invite to us while we were still in that condition - flaws and all. His expectation does not hinge upon our performance but upon His finished work on the cross....![]()

This year, Aviation offered helicopter rides over the centre and surrounding area of the valley. Only Ben and I have been on a helicopter before (to go to the Binumarien dedication) so we decided to experience this with our dear friend Beris and her kids. It was such a fun morning. Huge thanks to Aviation for giving us something to enjoy and experience!![]()

We are thankful for all of our friends in PNG and here are just a few of them who we're fortunate to do life with. We are in this place where we're getting excited about returning to Canada in 6 months but still cherishing our time here with friends and it's a weird in-between but it helps us to be thankful. Every time we leave our friends & family in Canada, we are blessed, both by God's protection of the relationships we move away from physically and by His provision of new friendships in PNG. Even when our dear friends have to leave suddenly or when we miss important events in our friends lives back in Canada, God is enough and He gives us enough. It really is astounding and wonderful. Happy almost New Year everyone! ![]()

If you are still looking for somewhere to make a tax-deductible donation before the end of 2021, you can still give here. There are likely to be expenses that extend past the $5000 and any help is so greatly appreciated.![]()

After a week and a half of no center internet, the internet was restored yesterday at noon, just in time for us to watch the Vision Night for our home church, Jericho Ridge Community Church today at lunch our time! We sure miss sitting around the round table with our favourite young adults and being in-person with our JRCC friends but this is absolutely the next best thing! Thanks, Brad and Brady for looping us in and helping us stay connected while we’re away.
Our hearts are with our home in BC, Canada as they continue to face the devastation left by the recent floods. Please pray for everyone who continues to be affected and pray that they have everything they need to rebuild. Thank you, friends.
