2016
Family is a really big thing in PNG. So when some of our family members came by for a visit, a big feast was held in their honor in the village of Nafimpa.
One church friend has a new child. What real gold looks like. Travel scenery and a PNG missionary send-off to Indonesia. More. (1600x1200)
2015
When a primary road bridge collapsed, the Aiyura Valley and beyond were cut off from supply routes and access to Kainantu town services. Although cars and
trucks could not cross the river, enterprising locals created floating bamboo bridges for people to cross over the river. More. (1600x1200)
2014
2014 saw a business trip to Thailand and bush travel into the interior of PNG. Further solar panel research to find more affordable equipment for PNGan
friends. There was a fabulous New Testament dedication on Long Island, Madang. (1600x1200)
2013
A year marked with continued tension between two clan lines at our nearby village and an attempted resolution. Advances in new solar tech helped to realize
the dream of more affordable power. More national training activities. (1600x1200)
2011
This was the year of great travels for us across the Pacific Region and S.E. Asia. Pictures from PNG, New Zealand, Thailand, Australia, Hawaii, Samoa, Fiji, New Caledonia. Whew! (1600x1200)
2010
Tribal rivalries led to further decimation at the nearby village with considerable temporary housing uncertainties. Wonderful business trips to Aitape West (tsunami site) and Madang provided a restful retreat from the tensions of the Aiyura valley. (1600x1200)
2009
Life in the village was troubled this year with fierce tribal fighting between two major clans. Several innocent ones were killed and about half the village torched to the ground. The church stood in the gap, preaching peace without the usual cultural payback and retribution. But there were other bright moments, as you will see.... (1600x1200)
2008
Our trip back to Papua New Guinea from furlough in the US. Then a business trip took Brian to Chiang Mai, Thailand. There is quite a mix of photos and
locations here, but we think you'll enjoy these PNG and Thailand photos. On the way we stopped by to see our son, in Seattle, Washington. (1024x768)
2007
Our year in photos, but what a year! In the beginning we were working in PNG, then ran off to a quick furlough in the States, and along the way ended up in Kenya! There is quite a mix of photos and locations here, and we think you'll enjoy Vermont and Washington State too. (1024x768)
2006
Cool photos of the year as sent around the world on our weekly email list. Themes include tribal dancing, HIV AIDS awarenes work, our 25th Anniversary in New Zealand (all right so it's not exactly PNG, but it was still fun!). Return link is at the top of the album. (640x480)
2005
Scenes of the fabulous Daga New Testament celebrations, distant friends over for a vist, our trip to Tawali Dive Resort near Alotau, sailboarding on Lake Yonki, working at the Pacific Orientation Course (new workers coming), and village life. Return link is at the top of the album. (640x480)
