Outdoor Kitchen

Beginning of Outdoor Kitchen

God is good. God is great. Thank you Lord for the food on our plates. 

Maybe growing up you learned and prayed a prayer kind of like that after all your mom's hard work in the kitchen. Well, the latest project we want to share with you is our OUTDOOR KITCHEN.  Will you thank the Lord with us for this project. We have all the funds for this already and we at P2J are supplying the labor. This kitchen will be used by and for our Discipleship Center attendees. It will be fueled by wood which will save them money and its really what they are used to. The head of P2J and the head of the GIDI Church association visited the other day to see what was needed and what they could do to help. There are several "projects" needed and that they are helping with.   

Check out the Picture Page for more photos.

Again, thank you for praying for and participating in this ministry to "expand the reach" of the Gospel of Grace throughout Papua, Indonesia.

Continue to peruse, pray & participate in these projects.


Craig for the team.

Been Quiet

If you have been checking back you have noticed no added projects.  Even though this is the case, please continue to stop by and pray for the projects posted.  We have been cleaning the property up, cutting unwanted trees and trimming others. This helps keep the mosquito population down. So far 3 people (including Cheryl) have gotten malaria. Could be from the little blood suckers in our area. We want to buy a sprayer ($30-$50) and some insecticide for regular sprayings. We will let you know soon if this needs to be a "project" or if we already have enough for that.

 The Garden area has been cleaned up and much of it planted with long green beans. This will help supplement the students diet.  These type of things we do have some funds for, and once the beans are full grown we can use some for the next planting.  We also bought eggplant and various greens to plant that will help with having nutritious food. 

Coworker Nicho chopping away

Recently we had a short wind storm that blew down two trees. This resulted in our power being out for about 27 hours. Nico and I went down after church and lunch to see if we could help out. No chainsaw, but that axe came in handy.  We chopped what we could and then with some prodding got help moving them from some folks just hanging out and watching.

The program starts August 15th. Pray that we will have things all lined up, lessons begun and ready to teach. We will have the first few days for orientation. Once all are settled in and orientated we will begin teaching from Genesis 1:1 to the Ascension of Christ. We are planning on teaching Mon-Fri from 8-12. The plan right now is for this teaching to take 12 weeks. Afternoons will have other discipleship ministries going on. The next step will be practical ministries in local churches. After 8 weeks of this we will spend more time on teaching them how to teach.   Then practical ministries in local churches again.  We will use this rotational model over the course of 1 year.  

As you can see, your prayer and participation in these projects will help advance the gospel to various parts of Papua. As the church is strengthened, discipled, trained and equipped, the Gospel of Grace will be preached.
