“Y’all are a professional traveling family.”  This was the well-phrased comment from my brother after we returned home after some travels.

In all honesty, we ARE a professional traveling family.  With our “home” in Papua New Guinea (PNG), family in Washington state and Michigan (and other states), and partners all over, we have a lot of traveling to do.  Here’s a catalog of our travel back from PNG in 2014.

-Ukarumpa, PNG
-Port Moresby, PNG
-Brisbane, Australia
-Honolulu, Hawaii
-San Francisco, California
-Portland, Oregon
-Woodland, Washington
-Whew!

Recently when we were getting on a plane, somebody asked if it was Timothy’s first time traveling.  I laughed and said, “No, he’s probably traveled more than most adults”.  I mean, how many people can say they have literally flown across the world… twice, before the age of 3?!?!  It would be quite interesting to record how many miles our kids have logged already.

On a recent driving trip, Christina figured out a way to make Timothy sleep on command.  We even got video of it (click the picture below).  It was pretty awesome!

Praise God that he has kept us safe during all of our travels, through multiple cities, states, time zones, countries, and continents.

• Please pray for safety, good family time, and alertness as we travel.  Our upcoming 10-day trip takes us through much of Michigan and into the Chicago area (we leave tomorrow).
• Please pray for our family, especially our kids, as we adjust through multiple transitions during our furlough.
• Praise God that we were given a van to use in Michigan, and they are letting us take it back to Washington!
• Praise God that we have about $550 per month to raise before we can go back to PNG.

In Him,

James and Christina
