Our family in Papua New Guinea | 2012

Ukarumpa and Aiyura Valley

Ukarumpa is SIL's center of opperations in Papua New Guinea and where we live and work.

Miniafia New Testaments from the dedication in 2010

"God is a Miniafia Man," the loincloth-clad speaker exulted! "Before He was English, and American, and Australian. But today He has become Miniafia!"

Where do you play when you live on an island?

{Metzger Ministry Update} November 2013 | "Around the World"

And you are helping us by praying for us. Then many people will give thanks because God has graciously answered so many prayers for our safety. – 2 Corinthians 1:11 (NLT)

Dear Friends and Family,

Please pray for us as we travel (see requests below)! In just under a week we will begin our journey to the other side of the world. A viral sickness has recently been going around in our community and Matthias was sick throwing-up 2 days ago…

Our itinerary will take us (times are local-see http://timezonecheck.com/ for yours):

  • from Ukarumpa to Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea (PNG) for 1 night – 13 November
  • on to Singapore for 3 nights – 14 through 17 November
  • then to Frankfurt, Germany for 7 hours – 18 November
  • and finally to Colombia for the next 2 months – 18 November through 15 January

(After 3 years in PNG we’ll complete our trip around the world!)

Pray with us while we travel:

  • For good health for our family
  • For times of rest for all of us, even during the long flights
  • For safety and a good travel experience

Blessings,

Kurt (for Johanna, Kassia, Lukas and Matthias too!)
