Kein New Testament Dedication

On the weekend of April 15 we had the priviledge and joy of celebrating with the people from Kein (pronounced "cane"), the village where we did village living, as they dedicated the New Testament in their language. We hiked out to the village the day before the dedication and spent the day visiting with our village family. The next day was a day of celebration, singing, dancing, and speeches. It was special for us to see people that we have grown to love here in Papua New Guinea receive God's Word in their heart language.

P&H,
I dislike cliches, but this one rings true: A picture is worth a thousand words. I have been enjoying reading/seeing what is going on in your world. Blessings to you both!

What a great set of pictures - as usual! But this was fun to see a celebration like that. Somehow, our culture needs to be more demonstrative and celebrative! We miss you and look forward to seeing you again. Our love and prayers continue to be with you. I have put your letters and some pictures on our bulletin board at church. Love, Jean and Steve
