She sliced her leg while working her garden. Her daily search for food had to continue despite pain. Her leg grew red and angry as infection set in. We treated her with antibiotics and wrapped her leg. She continued her daily routine, returning each day hunched over with a net bag full of either firewood or bananas suspended from her head. Sometimes she carried her young son as well.</span><br style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 11.333333015441895px;" /><br style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 11.333333015441895px;" /><span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 11.333333015441895px;">In the picture you can see that her right eye is useless and clouded over, probably from some past scratch that resulted in infection. We could not treat that. Her arms are scaly with skin disease. Her posture was a permanent stoop.</span><br style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 11.333333015441895px;" /><br style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 11.333333015441895px;" /><span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 11.333333015441895px;">Her first name, Yaim, is actually the local word for theft and is associated with evil. That was the name her parents gave her. We don't know why.</span><br style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 11.333333015441895px;" /><br style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 11.333333015441895px;" /><span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 11.333333015441895px;">Yaim's husband is Pieter. Pieter is known as a very bad man. My stomach used to knot on sight of him. I would instantly bristle and get defensive when he climbed my porch. He seemed to bring constant conflict.</span><br style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 11.333333015441895px;" /><br style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 11.333333015441895px;" /><span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 11.333333015441895px;">We are not sure how Yaim came to be married to Pieter. Many parents arrange marriages for their young daughters, using the arrangement to procure foodstuffs and promises for more trade items. Often, girls as young as 5 go and live in the home of the man they are supposed to marry. The phrase we have heard describing this is, "I have raised her up to be my wife," the same phrase "raised up" being used to describe raising one's pigs or cassowaries. </span><br style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 11.333333015441895px;" /><br style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 11.333333015441895px;" /><span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 11.333333015441895px;">Yaim was also most likely married off in this same manner when she was but a young girl, little better than property or trade-goods.</span><br style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 11.333333015441895px;" /><br style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 11.333333015441895px;" /><span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 11.333333015441895px;">Yaim's husband Pieter was often hostile towards Simson. Simson is a young believer here who is especially close to my family. He helps us with language and other tasks. Baby Perpetua often runs over to hug him upon sight. Simson's younger sister, Demina is an adolsescent girl with a big smile. She is a newly developing adolescent and her body is changing. Pieter wanted her as wife number two. And was willing to use force.</span><br style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 11.333333015441895px;" /><br style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 11.333333015441895px;" /><span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 11.333333015441895px;">What about Pieter's current wife Yaim? Pieter's gruff reply was, "I'm only using her until I can get a better wife." Yaim stood next to Pieter as he explained all this, looking at her feet with a net-bag full of firewood weighing down her head.</span><br style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 11.333333015441895px;" /><br style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 11.333333015441895px;" /><span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 11.333333015441895px;">Pieter's demands grew more vocal for Demina. We sheltered her from Pieter. He threatened to shoot us with arrows and actually drew his bow on me and Jimmy several times. He threatened to cut our radio cables, hack up our home, and destroy our property. During one of these feuds, arrows were actually released. This escalated the violence. Yaim found herself in the middle of all of this by virtue of being married to Pieter. She was struck on the head and shoulders several times with a log. She was bleeding and groggy as we treated her with a bandage and pain medications. She lie mostly still in her hut for several days. She finally strengthened enough to go out and return to work in her garden.</span><br style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 11.333333015441895px;" /><br style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 11.333333015441895px;" /><span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 11.333333015441895px;">. . . .</span><br style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 11.333333015441895px;" /></span><div style="text-align: center;">

Her death was mentioned as an afterthought, "No...nothing has happened in the village in the few weeks you have left.." and then, a minute later, "Oh....Yaim died...but it was just her."</span><br style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 11.333333015441895px;" /><br style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 11.333333015441895px;" /><span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 11.333333015441895px;"><i>It was just her.</i></span><br style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 11.333333015441895px;" /><br style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 11.333333015441895px;" /><span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 11.333333015441895px;">Malaria is a horrible sickness! Last week both Paul Snider and myself suffered from it. We were miserable even with light cases. We had medications and someone to bring us food and water.</span><br style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 11.333333015441895px;" /><br style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 11.333333015441895px;" /><span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 11.333333015441895px;">I've hallucinated before. I've rolled on the floor due to extreme pain. I've wondered before whether I had dislocated my back due to the violent chills and shaking and projectile vomiting from some cases of malaria. This week I ground my teeth in pain until my fillings came loose in my mouth and my jaws still have a dull ache ache this week, due to my most recent "light" case of malaria.</span></span><br />

She had no medicines to lower her fever, made worse by tropical heat. She had no pain pills to ease the painful shakes. The flies can be terrible to the ailing sick as their smell worsens and they linger, too tired to bath. It sounds like she may have suffered and died alone. There was no report of burial. Her body may still lie in her tree-house.

She probably heard the story of the Creation of the World, the Fall into sin by Adam and Eve and the entrance of the curse of sin into all the world, and God's sending of a Savior into the world for all who believe. Yet, she spoke such little Indonesian and I speak such little Korowai, did she really understand? Simson often attempted to explain the Gospel in his own language. Yet, he is often awkward and hesitant and his knowledge is limited. Pieter's threats have limited Simsons' ability to speak much at all to Yaim. We have audio recordings of some Bible stories in the tribal dialect to our south. The Northern Korowai can understand enough of this for their benefit, but Yaim had minimal contact with me and these recordings due to her husbands' demeanor. I have prayed with Yaim several times this past year. Did she merely nod her head in obedience or submission? Did she understand?</span><br style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 11.333333015441895px;" /><br style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 11.333333015441895px;" /><span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 11.333333015441895px;">We try not to despair over the bleakness of the lives and deaths of many in our area. We pray that God's love will impact this region and many will know the love of their Creator and also know better the love of fellow man who will see them as dignified souls, created in the image of God and worthy of respect and love. </span></span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3903547362445123371.post-38479915714738983202013-05-17T23:57:00.001-07:002013-05-17T23:57:47.584-07:00Pig Attack and Medivac!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Our little Alethea is now homeschooling.<br />
<br />
Everyday she completes another lesson learning how to read.<br />
<br />
She also is a very "crafty" girl and loves to paint, draw, build, etc.<br />
<br />
And, of course, there are plenty of extra-curricular activities in the jungle.<br />
<br />

<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arimo, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 20px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<a href="http://www.tandtfamily.blogspot.sg/" style="color: #4d8b97; text-decoration: initial; word-wrap: break-word;" target="_blank" title="Trevor Johnson and Teresa">Trevor Johnson and his wife Teresa</a> are missionaries in Papua, Indonesia, bringing the Gospel to the people there. I thought it would be helpful to many to interview Trevor so others might be edified and encouraged. Thanks be to God, brother Trevor was kind enough to take time out from his sabbatical to answer my questions, and I am sharing them here. May God use this interview to His glory.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arimo, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 20px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span class="question" style="word-wrap: break-word;">Q1. Most people have a misconception about missionary work and missionaries, e.g. mission work is tough, or some might even romanticise the whole idea of being a missionary. What is, in your own experience, a missionary, and how would you encapsulate missionary work?</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arimo, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 20px; word-wrap: break-word;">
SENT OUT: While the term “missionary” does not occur in Scripture, I believe the concept is very biblical. The word “missionary” comes from the Latin <em style="word-wrap: break-word;">mitto</em>, which corresponds to the Greek <em style="word-wrap: break-word;">apostelos</em> (ἀπόστολος), or a “sent-out one.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arimo, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 20px; word-wrap: break-word;">
While established congregations call pastors to come in and to minister to them, and while even these pastors also are charged to “do the work of an evangelist” the history of the church and the New Testament example shows a pattern of certain peoples going out as well to establish new congregations or to aid in the expansion of the Christian faith (see the mobile ministry teams in Acts, Paul’s list of co-workers and John’s call to support those who go out for the sake of the Name in 2 and 3 John). The Great Commission tells us to disciple all nations, and so this necessitates that we go to all nations, and so the Church has commissioned and sent out missionaries in order to accomplish this God-given task.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arimo, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 20px; word-wrap: break-word;">
SENT OUT WITH A SPECIFIC TASK: If we missionaries are “sent-out ones” then what are we sent out to do? According to the Great Commission we are to disciple the nations and baptize and incorporate those believers into visible fellowships. Additionally, according to 2 Corinthians 5, we are to be ambassadors for Christ. Finally, we learn from <a class="lbsBibleRef" data-reference="2 Timothy 2.2" data-version="esv" href="http://biblia.com/bible/esv/2%20Timothy%202.2" style="color: #4d8b97; text-decoration: initial; word-wrap: break-word;" target="_blank">2 Timothy 2:2</a> that we are invest in key folks who can then teach others a certain body of doctrine and not only safeguard it but multiply it (making disciples who can then make disciples).</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arimo, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 20px; word-wrap: break-word;">
SENT OUT TO CROSS BOUNDARIES: There is a cross-cultural component to this task. Some may object, but I would like to differentiate the role of a missionary from that of a pastor or an evangelist. While a pastor is called by an already-existing congregation to minister to that flock, and while his calling might include the work of an evangelist, his main task is to “feed the sheep” which are already gathered. An evangelist is a role that some local churches employ and is almost like a missionary, but usually involves outreach within his own ethno-linguistic setting and involves closer contact with his home church, the evangelist often living in proximity to his home church and operating out of his home church on a weekly basis (bringing the fruit of his efforts into that same local church). A missionary, on the other hand, is “sent out” and crosses ethno-linguistic-geographic boundaries with the Gospel. Sometimes one can use the same language, such as the Apostle Paul was able to do in many parts of the Roman Empire, but often a crossing of linguistic barriers is needed as well. His role is to establish the Church where it does not yet exist or strengthen the Church in a region where it needs significant help.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arimo, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 20px; word-wrap: break-word;">
WHO CAN BE A MISSIONARY? While ordained elder-qualified men are needed, since the Great Commission tasks us with discipling and also baptizing and many missionary tasks involve preaching and exercising ecclesiastical authority, there are also many vital roles for other non-ordained Christians as well. Paul lists many females as his “fellow workers” (<em style="word-wrap: break-word;">sunergois</em>) and in Acts 14 we see that Paul and Barnabas were sent out and that they also had John as an aid to them. Thus, the missionary task is not merely limited to pastors or elder-qualified men, but there are many roles that many willing Christians can play on the mission field. We need teachers, nurses, youth workers, pilots and mechanics, literacy specialists, and many other roles in addition to pastors, church-planters, bible teachers and theologians.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arimo, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 20px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span class="question" style="word-wrap: break-word;">Q2. It must have been difficult making a decision to uproot and move to a remote place where you don’t speak the language and face unknown dangers. What was it that prompted you to become a missionary, and how did God move you to?</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arimo, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 20px; word-wrap: break-word;">
It was not a difficult decision at all because we were called to it.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arimo, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 20px; word-wrap: break-word;">
We were not merely weighing the advantages versus the disadvantages of going to the mission field, because we felt compelled to go. The questions that persisted in my mind and which consumed my thinking were, “If not ME…then who will go?” and also, “If not now, then WHEN will there be someone to take the Gospel to these neglected peoples?” and so, knowing that my wife and I were both young and healthy and could thus go to many areas in which others could not go, we felt constrained to attempt to go to a hard place where there were not many others willing or able to go. Because we felt that this was God’s calling for our lives, we felt that it would be impossible, therefore, to stay in the U.S.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arimo, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 20px; word-wrap: break-word;">
Also, upon ordination, our sending church, Bible Baptist Church of Saint Louis, Missouri also commissioned us to go and reach the lost in Indonesia. Thus, this is not a mere private desire on our part, but we are charged with the duty of going by our sending church. Thus, we are not merely going, we are being sent to fulfill a task and we must not, therefore, take this as a light task. Our local church has charged us with a mission, and so we have the duty to complete it.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arimo, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 20px; word-wrap: break-word;">
HOW DO YOU MOVE TOWARDS MISSIONS? If you are curious about the process of going into missions, I would say that the first step is to (1) ascertain a missionary call. All Christians are called to serve, but not all Christians are called to be pastors and/or missionaries.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arimo, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 20px; word-wrap: break-word;">
How do you ascertain a missionary call? If you have a desire to serve, and your home church seconds that desire, then this is a good indication. I have never heard the audible voice of God, but the Spirit speaks through the larger body of Christ and also our sanctified desires. So, if you have a desire to go and serve and this desire is confirmed by the larger body of Christ, then I would say that you should move forward.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arimo, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 20px; word-wrap: break-word;">
Secondly, after you have ascertained a missionary call, the next step would be to (2) start to research. When I felt called to go into missions, I began to pray for the nations, research missionary organizations, read about the peoples of the world and even research airline routes, language learning possibilities, etc. Research missions in general, the history of missions, the stresses associated with missions, the available people-groups that most need help, the organizations and groups that are presently operating, the training courses and schools that are available to gain training.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arimo, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 20px; word-wrap: break-word;">
Also, examine yourself as well. Don’t merely research the statistics and geographies of other countries. Research the geography of your own heart, the shape of your own personality. What are your weaknesses, what are your strengths? How do you handle stress? How do you work in teams? What sort of scenario would I be most likely to succeed at, or fail if encountered? Know the world, but also know yourself, because missionary work is highly stressful.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arimo, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 20px; word-wrap: break-word;">
Finally, (3) make your desires actionable and move those desires out of the mere cognitive realm only. Make concrete plans in light of those desires. And include your church. Move forward, make sure all your desires have “action steps” and timelines attached to them, and don’t merely dream or think about serving, approach your church and make plans to serve.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arimo, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 20px; word-wrap: break-word;">
Have your elders pray for you, mentor you, give you increasing responsibilities to groom and prepare you for service. Take a short-term trip (not to “do something” but to confirm a calling and observe and learn).</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arimo, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 20px; word-wrap: break-word;">
Keep moving forward…</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arimo, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 20px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span class="question" style="word-wrap: break-word;">Q3. What would you say are the requirements for someone considering to be a missionary?</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arimo, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 20px; word-wrap: break-word;">
(1) A missionary call, (2) some missionary competencies, and (3) good character – the three C’s.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arimo, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 20px; word-wrap: break-word;">
First, one must have a calling: A missionary must have a desire to serve. This is integral to the missionary call. This call must be confirmed by the larger body of Christ. In most cases this means one’s local church (though some local churches are so unsound that missionary organizations feel the need also to check and confirm the recommendations of local churches).</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arimo, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 20px; word-wrap: break-word;">
A missionary must be sent. As I have said before, “a missionary is not merely one who goes. A missionary is one who is sent.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arimo, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 20px; word-wrap: break-word;">
A missionary must have certain competencies: This includes theological and doctrinal competencies. Every missionary need not be a theologian, but every missionary must be sound theologically. Doctrinal soundness is, therefore, a very necessary requirement.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arimo, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 20px; word-wrap: break-word;">
Interpersonal and relational ability is also a must. I have known some folks who are very theological in their thinking, but could not connect well with other people. Therefore, a missionary must be skilled in Scripture, but also possess people-skills.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arimo, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 20px; word-wrap: break-word;">
In some scenarios, other skills might also help the missionary, such as knowing how to live in remote or rough environments, knowing medical or linguistic skills, having the ability to learn another language, etc.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arimo, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 20px; word-wrap: break-word;">
In addition to the theological requirements, holiness of life and certain qualities of character are also essential: Notice that the requirements for church office in the New Testament are NOT primarily academic, but involve one’s conduct and character.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arimo, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 20px; word-wrap: break-word;">
In addition to holiness of life, other aspects of personality and character are also needed, such as a certain quality of perseverance. Missionary life is full of hard work and high stress. A missionary must not quickly break down due to the adverse conditions. Physical and mental strength are often needed.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arimo, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 20px; word-wrap: break-word;">
Physical health, mental and emotional health and spiritual/doctrinal health are all necessary.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arimo, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 20px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span class="question" style="word-wrap: break-word;">Q4. Please describe a typical day in your life as a missionary.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arimo, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 20px; word-wrap: break-word;">

<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arimo, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 20px; word-wrap: break-word;">
You can also <a href="http://bradinpapua.wordpress.com/" style="color: #4d8b97; text-decoration: initial; word-wrap: break-word;" target="_blank" title="Brad Kinnison's blog">read</a> Brad Kinnison’s fine blog about his experiences 2 months ago when he came and visited me in the village.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arimo, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 20px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span class="question" style="word-wrap: break-word;">Q5. It must be difficult to break the ice, so to speak, with natives in a foreign land. What are some ways to do that, in order that the Gospel might be preached? I understand that you are a nurse, and so is your wife. If someone becomes a missionary without your skill sets, what can s/he bank on?</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arimo, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 20px; word-wrap: break-word;">
Actually, my task of evangelizing in Papua might be far easier than yours.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arimo, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 20px; word-wrap: break-word;">
The question of, “What is this white foreigner doing arriving in our village” demands an answer. When I show up in a remote setting in Indonesia, especially in isolated regions that are extremely difficult to access and which take many hours and even days of travel, the people want to know why I am there. To simply tell them that I have come to speak to them on behalf of God is much easier than attempting to minister in the urban West and compete for people’s attention in a secular city such as Singapore, where the deepest matters of life are often privatized and deemed only proper to talk about among the closest of friends.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arimo, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 20px; word-wrap: break-word;">
I would urge you to think less in terms of “skill set” and think less of “doing” and focus more on “being” instead. Missiology and “outreach” – especially in America – often becomes a cookie-cutter list of techniques and methodologies and people are always looking for a “golden key” or a new technique to “do evangelism.” But doing flows naturally from being. Be the person who God wants you to be – that is the first task. Our ministry should flow from who we are. Therefore, we need not worry about finding ways to break the ice or begin a Gospel conversation, but we should worry about being the people that God would have us to be and we should pray that the Holy Spirit will lead us to see those providential opportunities that God places before us.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arimo, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 20px; word-wrap: break-word;">
My wife and I are nurses and we treat the sick every day. But we don’t do this merely to gain a Gospel hearing. We try not to have any ulterior motives for anything we do. We treat the sick because they are sick. We try to do good to people because of our calling as Christians.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arimo, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 20px; word-wrap: break-word;">
One does not need to be a nurse to be a blessing to the people here. And if you were to live here, you could easily learn some basics in order to bless your neighbors. Come and move to Papua and within 2 months of living in the village you will know 90% of what you need to know to help most people medically.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arimo, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 20px; word-wrap: break-word;">
While you have the Gospel and the Holy Spirit – and that is enough, here are some skills that might help you if you wanted to serve in Indonesia: (1) language skills, (2) medical skills, (3) being able to teach, (4) outdoor skills, (5) construction and skills such as being “handy” around the house and fixing/building things, (6) farming or agricultural skills, (7) technological or computer skills to train up a new generation of Papuan pastor who will need technology to help bless the wider Church here.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arimo, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 20px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span class="question" style="word-wrap: break-word;">Q6. What are some things that, besides seeing people coming to faith in Christ Jesus, that most warm your heart? On the flip side, what are some of the heartaches and disappointments you have experienced?</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arimo, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 20px; word-wrap: break-word;">
To see a person coming to faith in Christ is to see eternal work happening. How much is a human soul worth? Of how much value should we place on seeing the redemption of even one never-dying soul?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arimo, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 20px; word-wrap: break-word;">
Also, to invest and train future leaders is a great investment. To see young Papuan pastors use what they have learned from you and teach to others is very rewarding.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arimo, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 20px; word-wrap: break-word;">
The death and disease and moral failures of the people cause much heartache. God is building His Church and the gates of hell cannot prevail against it, but this building process seems to take so long and seems to encounter so much opposition. Sometimes I lose the historical perspective and I forget that sometimes a region resists the Gospel for a 1,000 years before God finally does a work of saving grace among the people there.</div>

Transitions, loneliness, sickness, frustration, worries about financial support, feelings of inadequacy.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arimo, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 20px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span class="question" style="word-wrap: break-word;">Q8. The Christian life is a constant struggle against the flesh. In your own experience, what would you say are the greatest obstacles to glorifying God as a missionary?</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arimo, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 20px; word-wrap: break-word;">
Attitudes. Irritations and aggravations compounded by living in less-than-ideal conditions (no AC, flies, dirt, people that don’t understand the Gospel).</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arimo, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 20px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span class="question" style="word-wrap: break-word;">Q9. You mentioned that 2 weeks is too short a time to experience missionary work. What, in your opinion, would be an ideal length of time someone should spend as a “short-term” missionary, if there’s such a concept?</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arimo, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 20px; word-wrap: break-word;">
First, I believe that the concept of short-term missions is a biblical one. In the book of Acts in chapters 13 and 14 we see that the Antioch church sent out Paul and Barnabas and, upon their return, it was said that they had fulfilled the task for which they had been commended to the grace of God. Thus, Paul’s first missionary journey seemed to have limited goals which were all accomplished in a short period of time.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arimo, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 20px; word-wrap: break-word;">
But, nowadays, too many people have a short-term mindset. To cross linguistic and cultural barriers takes time. We should think in terms of our missionaries serving decades, not weeks or months.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arimo, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 20px; word-wrap: break-word;">
While we can plan wisely to make the most of our short-term trips, let us cultivate a long-term mindset and pray that the Lord would call Singaporeans into a lifetime calling.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arimo, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 20px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span class="question" style="word-wrap: break-word;">Q10. What are some of the things that a church and fellow believers can do to help missionaries, and to encourage missions?</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arimo, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 20px; word-wrap: break-word;">
Pray, give, go.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arimo, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 20px; word-wrap: break-word;">
Pray for your missionaries. Pray for specific things, like marriage, family, schooling of missionary children, etc.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arimo, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 20px; word-wrap: break-word;">
Advertize/announce/explain missions in your church: All too often the phrase is true, “Out of sight, out of mind.” Make sure your church personally knows your missionaries and where they are serving.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arimo, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 20px; word-wrap: break-word;">
Give: Make sure your missionaries need not worry about money or physical needs.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arimo, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 20px; word-wrap: break-word;">
Go: Become a missionary or help send or recruit others. Most missionaries could use co-workers or someone to help them.</div>

Me and Matt and Paul accompanied Jimmy and Yulianus into the Mamberamo region to preach, pass out literature and explain some educational and translation programs for the future. Here is Matt's update:<br />

<b>Matt's Visit to Papua</b></div>

<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">As some of you may know from recent emails, Matt came back from Papua on January 12th. The trip, although brief, was very profitable. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">There are three evangelists with whom HeartCry partners in this Indonesian province (Yulianus, Jimi, & Perin), and Matt had yet to visit them in their native place. Yulianus is from the Fuau tribe (</span><span style="color: #0000ee; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><u><a href="http://bit.ly/SN7SVi" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">http://bit.ly/SN7SVi</a></u></span><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">), and Jimi and Perin are from the Dani tribe (</span><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #0000ee;"><u><a href="http://bit.ly/ZZICIQ" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">http://bit.ly/ZZICIQ</a></u></span>). Matt also visited Trevor Johnson and Paul Snider, both of whom are working with World Team among the K___ tribe (</span><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #0000ee;"><u><a href="http://bit.ly/V6vxNN" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">http://bit.ly/V6vxNN</a></u></span>).

<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">Praise God that last week we preached/taught at 3 villages in the Mamberamo and 3 coastal locations to almost 1,000 people, passed out over 2,000 tracts/booklets/bibles (easily over 700 in outdoor evangelism and over 1300 inside the church to build up believers), preached or taught 8 times in 7 days for about 18 hours cumulative (mostly on distinguishing the new birth from a mere external religiosity) and yesterday I had visitors finding my house to come and tell me that they were greatly moved. </span></blockquote>

Today (Sunday [January 6th]) we worshiped at a church comprised mostly of people from the Fuau region (where we're flying to tomorrow). Most of them have come out of the interior jungle for educational purposes. Some are studying in a local Bible college, and others are pursuing various other occupations. Yulianus helps them in different ways, including providing scholarships for those who show the most potential. His desire, though, is for them to return to the interior in order to be a blessing to their own people. So he made them promise to return before ever giving any sort of scholarship. One of the men there today, also supported by Yuli, is Bastian Guani. I met him in Jakarta in 2010 when he was studying at Kartidaya (SIL's linguistic training). He and Yuli are in the process of translating 15 key Bible stories into the Fuau language, after which they will begin translating the New Testament. They didn't feel prepared enough to directly begin the NT, so they decided to start with the stories in order to at least get something in the hands of their people, along with getting some good practice/training for the bigger project. You can read more about the Bible story project here (their language is technically called "Abawiri"): <a href="http://www.theseedcompany.org/files/Papua_GIDI_Storying_Cluster-2012_03.pdf" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">www.theseedcompany.org/files/<wbr></wbr>Papua_GIDI_Storying_Cluster-<wbr></wbr>2012_03.pdf</a></blockquote>

I preached in the service in Bahasa Indonesia. I felt like the Lord helped and I'm beginning to feel much more comfortable preaching without any notes. Trevor also gave a couple different strong exhortations to the people. There's such a great need here for people who call themselves Christians to be born again. They live like the world, many coming to church on Sunday mornings and then getting drunk a few hours later. HIV and prostitution are also big social problems, indicative of the spiritual darkness of those who profess the name of Christ but deny Him with their lives. So, much of our teaching and exhortation centered around the new birth and what it means to be genuinely saved. After eating lunch, we then went to a local market in order to pass out Gospel tracts and share the good news with the people there. Together we were able to pass out perhaps 400-500 tracts, and I got the opportunity to share the gospel with dozens of Papuans, along with many __ others__...</blockquote>

After leaving the coastal area (where the above update took place), we flew into the Mamberamo River Basin, visiting three different locations - Fuau, Taria, and Kasonewega. The first two are small villages with very little ethnic diversity. Sometimes Danis from the highlands or brown-skinned Indonesians come down to these lowland villages in search of sandalwood, or other natural resources. All the people in both Fuau and Taria would claim to be Christian. But, similar to the above paragraph, there are very few who have genuinely experienced the new birth. Generally speaking, the two tribal groups have a Christian identity, but understand very little about the gospel. ....</div>

<i><b>Pray</b></i> that God would use Yulianus to continue to evangelize his own people. In the last 2-3 years, it seems there was an awakening among a small minority of the people. However, there are still so many who have no saving knowledge of Christ. <i><b>Pray</b></i> that God would prepare Yulianus and Bastian to translate the Bible into Abawiri. <i><b>Pray</b></i> that God would also prepare Yaber Faboisa and his team to translate the Bible into ___Taburta <b><i>Pray</i></b> also as Yulianus recruits other translators among the 18 other languages spoken in the Mamberamo.</div>

Alethea started out her 5th birthday day by playing quietly with blocks and entertaining Baby Sister.</div>
Then she swam, helped Mommy make her cake, licked the pan, swam some more, played, more blocks, swam some more, then ate supper, wanted a pic of her and Daddy attacking the cake and then got herself stuck in the laundry bin.<br />
<br />
A full day.<br />

Looking at the orangish "mud" from the filtered sago collected at the bottom of the collection basin (itself made from parts of the sago tree). You can see the demarcation where the fibers are dammed up in the steeply leaning portion of the trough and the final section where there are no fibers but only orangish silt. Later this orang water will be carefully dumped and the fine silty sago on the bottom will be dried.<br />

Above you can see just how hard it is to carve an airstrip out of thick jungle by hand.<br />
<br />
This set of photographs does not even show the initial clearing, the cutting down the tree, the dividing the tree into pieces, the carrying off and/or burning of the large chunks.<br />
<br />
This set of photographs starts with one lone tree stump and how it is cut down, the roots hacked, the stump literally ripped up with sheer human grit, carried to the edge of the airstrip and either heaved or rolled to the side. <br />
<br />
...Repeat with the next tree stump.<br />
<br />
You can see in the background the 700 meters of already-cleared strip. ALMOST THERE!<br />
<br />
An amazing feat of work. The Dani tribe must be the HARDEST-WORKING group of people I have EVER met! And the local people are helping, too.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, some of these airstrip workers are also evangelists who are ministering and teaching at the posts scattered throughout the wider region. Due to tunnel-vision (seeing the end in sight and wanting to finish this airstrip this year) they have all gathered in Danowage, leaving many preaching posts empty, and are devoting almost all of their efforts towards moving dead dirt instead of educating and teaching live souls. So, this set of pictures is both a source of pride and amazement at their hard work, as well as a bitter reminder of how "the good is the enemy of the best" and how we must keep the main thing the main thing in the ministry.<br />

This lady is rolling vine-string on her thigh to make a new grass skirt. You can see the wooden spathe and sago to the left of her (like a dry pancake - the staple for the people here).</div>
