JOEY

/ john & brena

Here is a little bit about Joey:

  • Joey is very happy to be back in Ukarumpa, mainly because of his gang of good friends. They have a LOT of fun together but also go a bit deeper with their weekly Bible Study and prayer partners. We’re thankful he has a group of friends like he does and that he is choosing to follow God.
  • He doesn’t have a big load of studies since he’s in grade 12 (which he’s happy about). And speaking of studies, please pray that God would lead Joey as he makes a decision about his future after graduation in June 2015.
  • In his spare time he’s been riding motorbikes and painting his locker door, which all the seniors can do. We weren’t a bit surprised with his design. :)
  • To make a little money Joey works at Teen Center. About four times per school term, the teens put on a Hamburger Night for the community. They run the whole shebang by themselves, with the oversight of two adults. It’s a great ministry for the community since there are no restaurants around and it gives the moms a break from cooking. Not only does Joey works at the Hamburger Nights but he also brings the towels and rags home and washes and hangs them to earn a little extra money.
  • He and Kairu are starting a rain tank cleaning business.

  2. Dear John and Brena.

    I can’t believe a year has past already and you are back in PNG. I am happy that you were able to have such a wonderful visit with your family while you were here – and that we were able to visit with you at Betsy Creswells home. I enjoy hearing about the boys also, and thanks for sharing.

    May God continue to bless you and your family and the work that you are doing with the translation of the scriptures in their native language.

    Love, June (Bruner)

  4. wow, Joey, you are such a great artist!! WAs that freehand or stencil or what? Your town is so beautiful, green, and sunny. Looks like a great place to live.

    You and Kairu are definitely business entrepreneurs. Can I hire you when you are in Fullerton again? Ha! Betsy
