Extra Projects!

Picture Scanning, HTML..., what's next?

While our first choice would have been to return to PNG back in November. Nonetheless the Lord has allowed a number of neat opportunities as we have waited for all the necessary red-tape to clear. Currently Chris has recently finished a family scanning project that has allowed him to scan in family pictures some dating back to the 1800's. Now as we prepare for our return to PNG on January 11th, Chris has been studying HTML, it's not directly tied to our ministry in Mibu, but it's an interest of Chris's and it allows us to continue to develop our ministry webpage!

Spagetti

In the mean-time we've seen the focus of our ministry over the last couple of months move towards spending a lot of time with individuals and families, inviting many over for California spagetti! Interested? Ever have CA spagetti? Even if you're curious, give us a call or send us an email!

Roller-Skating!

Stay tuned for pictures. As the snow piles up outside, and we dream the milder climate in PNG, our family has discovered we especially enjoy roller-skating!

[What's What With the Walkers] It's Here!!

That's right...the long awaited for visa for Titus was wired to the PNG Embassy Friday morning!!  And some people say prayer doesn't change things...they don't know our God!!  Thank you to all of you who were praying for his visa.  It may not have been there for Monday when we wanted, but God's timing is perfect, and He's never late!
 
So, what's next?  We are researching plane tickets right now, and waiting to hear back from a couple travel agents to see if they can beat the prices we found online for ourselves.  From the research we've done though, it doesn't appear that the holiday rush (and prices) drops until Jan. 11, so it looks like we'll be around here for a couple more weeks.  But who can complain about another Christmas with the family? :)  We will let everyone know of our official plans once the tickets have been purchased.
 
There are times in our lives where we can look back and clearly see the hand of God leading us.  Our time home has been, beyond a doubt, one of those times for us.  Looking back, everything...all the many details, relationships, and opportunities has had a divine purpose.  We stand amazed in the details that we can see, and think in wonder about the details that we can't yet see.  God is good, and now, more than ever, we feel the extreme privilege that is ours in being your hands and feet in Papua New Guinea, and most particularly in Mibu.  We are SO excited to see what God has in store for us in the months and years to come.  Thank you ever so much for standing with us...encouraging us and loving and praying for us.  You truly are the backbone of our ministry.
 
And if anyone is wondering what the kids think of this....I was doing school with Jael when we got the phone call.  She figured out what was happening (my huge smile and high squeaky "really?" may have given her some indication), and before I could get off the phone, she was running up and down the hallway here in excitement!  We are so blessed with children who are as excited about returning to our ministry as we are!
 
Enjoy the holidays!!  Christ came for a reason, and that reason is worth celebrating!!
Love to all,
Chris, Angie, Jael, Baruch and Titus Walker

[What's What With the Walkers] You guys are still here?

Yes!!  Alas, we are still here.  As the snow dumps down on our heads, we can't help but dream of the warmer, milder climates of Papua New Guinea.  Our last update shared how we were waiting for Titus Visa, and that we would let everyone know as soon as anything came through.  3 weeks later....still nothing new to report.  And this is exactly why we are writing again.  WE NEED YOUR PRAYERS!  The contentment we felt so keenly a month ago is being challenged with the passing weeks.  We know that God works through prayer....we have seen it too many times to even question that.  We are humbling asking all of you to PLEASE make Titus Visa a MATTER OF PRAYER this weekend.  It would be so wonderful if when we call the embassy again on Monday that it would be there.  I know we are facing a weekend, but PNG is one day ahead of us...their Monday is our Sunday night, so there is one working day for us to work with!! 
 
Thank you for all your ongoing love and support.
Here because of HIM,
Chris, Angie, Jael, Baruch and Titus Walker
