Every two years SIL-PNG holds a conference at Ukarumpa (where we live) with all of the workers in PNG attending. The purpose is to unite and encourage all of the members of SIL-PNG as well as to deal with any "official business" that is required. This was our second branch conference and it was a blessing to be a part of it. It was a joy to hear updates from all over the country of how God is blessing the Bible translation and literacy work in PNG. God is truly at work in transforming peoples lives through the clear understanding of His Word.
Six full days is a significant chunk of time to set aside our daily work, but the benefits far outweigh this sacrifice.
