A message from Rachel:
He Is Risen! Easter greetings from Papua New Guinea!
We pray that you all feel the LIGHT of Jesus this weekend as you reflect on His uncontainable, unconditional, and unshakeable Love for YOU! "In Him is life, and that life is the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not (and will not) overcome it." - John 1:4-5
We have had a busy Easter weekend here at Kudjip, and it was an honor to celebrate Christ's Resurrection alongside the Kingdom warriors (full-time missionaries) who serve here.
Scroll down for a recap in pictures and video.
FRIDAY
|
Friday was a school holiday here, so we had lots of friends to play with.
|
|
Ted was on-call Friday, but managed to do lots of fun things with the kiddos in-between trips to the ER: 1 - Homemade weaponry .... because we're Hendersons! 😆 |
|
2 - Early morning acrobatics |
|
3 - A visit to the gym with some giggly free-weights |
|
4 - Solomon double-checking Dokta Ted's orders |
|
The kids made a fort inside the overgrown brush in our yard |
|
Good Friday evening service at the tent!
SATURDAY
- A quick walk to the rot bung (street market) to get some produce (no pics because it was SUPER busy & crowded) - I spent a good chunk of the day rehearsing with the worship team and preparing a meal for a new missionary family that just arrived at Kudjip - Ted, Pennie and Solomon had a wonderful walkabout and riverside adventure! (See pics below) |
SUNDAY
- Sunrise service starting at 6AM
- Easter Basket Scavenger Hunt organized by Ted
- Some special Easter time with our dear friends the Crouches
|
Pre-Service Prayer Huddle |

Mission Trip Easter Baskets = whatever baskets we could find in the house, some candy treats we packed from the states, jelly beans wrapped in tinfoil packets (in place of plastic eggs) & bags of Twisties (PNG crunchy cheese doodles) |

LOVE these Crouch kiddos! |

This family is so precious to us! Love getting quality time with them. |
Salvation was bought not by Jesus’ fist, but by His nail-pierced hands; not by muscle but by love; not by vengeance but by forgiveness; not by force but by sacrifice. Jesus Christ our Lord surrendered in order that He might win; He destroyed His enemies by dying for them and conquered death by allowing death to conquer Him.” ― A.W. Tozer
