Visa Approved


Great news! My visa was finally approved and I begin my mission on March 15, 2018.  I will travel with my fellow missionaries, Ron and Karen Srajer. As of now, our travel agenda includes flying from LAX to Brisbane, Australia. We then fly to the Capital City of Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea. We will be met by Bishop Fey, the Bishop of the Diocese of Kimbe, PNG. If you can, google his name and you will not only find out a little about him, you will also see pictures of the culture I will discover soon.

Bishop Fey will help acclimate us to our new country, then we will fly together to our home for the next three years, Kimbe, PNG.  As of today, my mission assignment is to teach English at a Catholic technical school outside of Kimbe.

The next time I write, it should be from PNG as I will write periodically to update you on my mission journey.  I have been in contact with a few missionaries who served in PNG and heard their wonderful stories.  Now, I look forward to writing my own as I begin my journey. So, stay tuned...
