Dear Brethren;

Greetings in the name of the Lord!

As mentioned in our last newsletter we are moving back to Papua New Guinea. The Lord continues to work in our lives as we place them in His control for direction. The Printing Service has been on the market for some time and we were wondering why the Lord had not sold it. As of December 1st the new owner will take over. On October 15th the Real Estate agent advertised the shop in the Auckland paper. The next day a man drive down to look at the shop and talk to us. His name is Artol Newsom, he recently returned from Papua New Guinea where he served as a business manager for the Catholic church. He just happened to be looking for a printing business. He was excited about what he saw, but had to sell an apartment in Auckland first. He called us on Monday and said he had just sold the apartment and would like to sign papers this week. The deal went unconditional on the 28th of October. He takes over December 1st and I work until December 21st. Kathy and I are booked to fly back to PNG on January 8th. We are busy packing. We will be taking back a 40 foot container and a small car.

Many of the questions we had in regard to WHY the business had not sold sooner are being answered. The new owner did not want all of the equipment and we will have more than enough equipment to set us the printing work to continue to supply printing for PNG and the World Bible School outreach work. The last major works we are involved with are books written by Joe Cannon which we picked up when back in the States this past summer. We have reprinted “For Missionaries Only” and are printing his new books “The Heart of the Missionary” and “Go For The Globe.” Joe did not have the finance to get them printed and no time to seek out a publishing house who would print them. The Lord matched us up and I thank Him for the opportunity. The flight we are taking back to PNG is part of a special charter service operated over the summer break (in this part of the world school is out Dec-Jan). Air Niugini is flying direct flights from Port Moresby to Auckland for less than flying thru Australia or up through the islands.

When Mr Newsom put in an offer for the business it was based on what he could afford and thus he could not buy lock stock and barrel. Because Mr Newsom is not buying all of the equipment we will not be getting as much money as we had hoped. We will be able to use most of the remaining equipment in PNG. Some we will try to sell off before we leave, some we will just leave.

We anticipate sufficient funds to allow us to clear all debts, pay for shipment of container and car to Papua New Guinea, pay for airfare to PNG and supplement our support until September 1995 when we plan to come back to see and talk with you.
Our support projections are based on all our current supporters continuing their support through 1995. Even though we think that we will have enough support to see us through to September ‘95 we would ask that if you can help additionally it would be appreciated. We at present are $1,500 per month short of optimum funding.

We are definitely scheduled to travel to Vanuatu in March and April and if funds allow would like to take a worker from Papua New Guinea to assist us.

We are really getting excited now about returning to Papua New Guinea. We are receiving reports that the brethren there and the Melanesian Bible College are just as excited. We are just now finalizing the paperwork for our visas but do not anticipate any hold-ups.

Please be advised that our new mailing address after January 8th 1995 will be
P. O. Box 409
Lae, MP
Papua New Guinea

We wish to thank you for your support in our labors. Especially the prayers that have been offered.

Your co-workers for the cause of Christ in the South Pacific.
