I am writing this post while sitting in a small 4'x8' timber shed, in the middle of the Papuan Jungle!
We arrived in the village last Wednesday. The first two days we were here we were able to erect a solar panel platform, install the solar panels, build a temporary electrical/communications shed, complete the satellite dish installation, and hook up all the electrical components. All to get us up and on-line. Praise God! it all worked first time.
So here I am 8pm Sunday (our time) 6am(your time) writing this post. It is hard to describe what I am feeling & experiencing at the moment, because I am still trying to get it into my head that I am actually here. Not Just in another country, half way round the world; but also in the middle of no where. When I say in the middle of no where I don't mean off the beaten track. I mean there is no beaten track, there is no track. Just miles of Jungle as far as the eye can see; which is about 50 feet cause there is a thick wall of Jungle all around us!
Did I mention I'm in the Jungle...
I am uploading some photos for your viewing pleasure, and I will update my blog tomorrow with alot more details. All I will say for now is that I have never felt closer to my Father in Heaven than I have been feeling these past few days. HE has truly opened my eyes to his grace & majesty; and the need for people like Matthew Edelen and his family, doing what they are called to do here on Earth.
God bless...
