One Accord

Chad and Justin discuss the benefits, biblical reasoning, and costs of working in a team as Independent Baptists.

Before Zech headed out on his next adventure, we sat down and discussed the things about our field that stood out to him, and what he thought about them. Sometimes it's nice to get another point of view fresh from the states. We can get used to the weird things that happen here very quickly!

Justin, Chad, and Zech sit down and discuss some of the things we want to accomplish as missionaries in PNG. As missionaries, what we do day to day does not always feel exactly what it was like when we were presenting the vision of where we were called to work. Why that has happened is not because our mission for Christ has changed, but it has happened as we tailor "mission work" to the culture by which we are surrounded. What does that look like? What does that even mean? Listen and find out as we try to give what that means to us in Pangia, Papua New Guinea.

We have a visitor with us and we sat down to get his initial thoughts on Papua New Guinea. Zach Kinney chats with Justin and Kayleigh about what he thought he might see in PNG, and what his first day was like. We are hoping to be able to sit down a few more times and discuss what has jumped out at him during his time with us. If you've never taken a missions trip before, listen to his story. This was his first time out of the USA and we are honored that he chose to spend time with us and our people here in PNG. If he can do it, you can too!

One of the most frequently asked questions while we travel the USA presenting the work is about what language we speak. Join Justin and Kayleigh as they discuss what Tok Pisin is, some of the nuances of it, and some of their learning experiences in it.

Kayleigh and Justin discuss So what's it really like to run medical clinic to what they are doing in Pangia. Listen as they voice some of the frustration of a ministry like this, how they started it, and some of the blessings of having such a ministry working to help people in such a physical way.

This episode is all about baptisms here in Kumiane, PNG. We discuss a bit about where we baptize as well as some of the cultural hurdles that we found while teaching Believer's Baptism. 

Today Justin and Chad Wells, our co-worker and senior missionary in Pangia Station discuss an experience they had on a recent trip to Lae. It's a longer story than usual, but we hope that it's an encouragement and a blessing!

Justin and Kayleigh discuss how sticky some of the application of biblical principals can get in the culture of PNG. Sometimes our frame of reference is just so very different from the people that we serve.

Kayleigh and Justin go through the story of trying to find a new refrigerator. How does that experience change in Papua New Guinea, and how did they get it back home in the mountains 2 hours away? Find out what it's really like to shop for appliances in their country!

Some may picture a hut, and some may picture a large building full of doctors and nurses. In Papua New Guinea we are somewhere in between all of that. Kayleigh relays her experience of surgery and recovery in a PNG hausik, and we try and get into the nitty gritty of what going to a PNG hausik is really like!
