Gimpel and Gumby to Papua New Guinea. That was our handles when we were younger, but it became 'going to png' We lived there for over 12 years and are back in the U.S. now adapting to live and viewing life through a much different lens. I rarely update my blog because I tend to be too long winded and I frankly don't know who wants to read this stuff anyway. I'm not sure if my thoughts help the world, but I'm putting it out there just in case it does.

Video-er
Today I was asked to convert several small videos into a format that would fit on a cell phone. In a really interesting turn of events, one Kamano-Kafe speaking Papua New Guinean, learned Windows Movie Maker and took simple video backgrounds and put over Scriptures and then read them. The end result is a short little video with sound of someone reading a verse and the text showing up.... and after I finish encoding them and duplicating, 100 cell phones will have these little devotionals.
This is partnership at its best. Joining our skills and passion with the skills and passion of a local PNGian man means more people get reached in ways that speak to them.
Yes we all live in a You-Tube generation, so we're familiar with simple and easy videos. But seeing that expertise being employed by a Papua New Guinean, to reach his own people... that's what it's all about right there.
