A short history that goes like this is... I have shared in the past of our story of God
working in our hearts to go to the mission field as the door opens, to serve in Papua New
Guinea, the Country where my husband grew up. We have felt for several years that this
is Gods plan for our future, the goal that we are working towards! Randy is a
contractor and a licensed Mechanic, I am studying with Charis in the Doula / Childbirth
educator program with the ultimate goal of becoming a Midwife. These areas are very much
needed in this country and it is our hearts desire to be used by the Lord to serve those
in need.
This past week Randy was contacted about a current need for our skills in
PNG for the month of April. They are looking for a mechanic to come for a short term
trip to PNG to serve on a missions school compound and while there, I (Kristin) would
have the awesome and wonderful opportunity to serve the surrounding villages in Doula and
childbirth care. The native women are often left to themselves in this area of their
lives, giving birth in the bush alone and with no assistance or care during the beautiful
miracle of childbirth. The clinics that are set up in the bush area are in great need
and have been looking for help in the way of Midwives etc. The Need is GREAT! But our God
is GREATER! Please pray for us as we seek to know if this is something God would have us
to do right now. The finances it would take to go is mind boggling, just to be able to
go for 4 weeks the month of April, tickets and all we would be looking at $ 14,000.00. An
amount that we have no way to give, but as my husband and I were talking, is just a drop
in the hat to our Lord! He who merely speaks things into being. This short term trip
would be a great honor and introduction into what will one day be a long term lifestyle
for us. Please , please pray that God will provide in this area whether He chooses to use
us at this time or provides another avenue!

The girls and I went went on a field trip to the Cincinnati Children' s Museum along with the other homeschoolers associated with our church. The place was really incredible and very age appropriate. Even Nikayla had a great time, her favorite were the balls that would get sucked up tubes, she laughed and laughed. A highlight of the day was getting to spend it with friends, Stephanie Ryan and her three girls the same ages as ours.
