Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. - 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
Dear Loved Ones,
Thank you for your faithful prayers and encouragement for our family. Kurt continues to enjoy his work at the Communication and Technical Services here in Ukarumpa. His job enables our colleagues to do their tasks, both expatriate and Papua New Guineans, and also those involved directly in translating the Scriptures and support workers (like us) who in many ways help the translators. Kurt’s knee continues to heal and we are SO grateful to God for that and for your faithful prayers.

I (Johanna) very much enjoyed helping teach the Adult Tok Pisin Literacy Course that ended in December of last year. I am now helping my Dutch friend (and the main teacher of the course) organize a curriculum to train Papua New Guinean teachers so that they can teach the Adult Literacy Course themselves, in their villages.

God’s love never fails and His mercies are new every morning, to God be the glory! Please pray for our marriage to remain strong in Christ and for wisdom and love as we parent Kassia, Lukas and Matthias.

Home assignment is a time for us to re-connect with our partners and family after being on the field for several years. Thanks to those of you who have already started giving for us to be able to buy our tickets. If you would like to help us purchase our tickets for our home assignment, we have set up a special Launch Account (send a check to the usual Wycliffe address). On a separate note—not on the check—please write “Kurt and Johanna Metzger Launch Expense Account 71 – 285553”.
Love and blessings,
Johanna and Kurt (and for Kassia, Lukas, and Matthias)
