1. The MAF PNG family
Last weekend was MAF’s annual conference ICU 09 (International Conference Ukarumpa), this year held at Ukarumpa. I always appreciate the time, as we are all based throughout PNG. It is the one time of the year we are all together. The time leading up to conference was quite stressful trying to get different things completed at work before heading off. It was from Thursday night until Sunday night. Again we had a Pastor up from Australia to speak at each session, which included worship. I got a lot out of each session, learning, challenged and being reminded. There were many activities throughout our time there, game activities, a formal dinner, different meetings, communion, family fun night. I kept busy looking after the sound and help running the family sports avro. I was able to catch up with a few friends from POC which was good. I was able to go bike riding two times over the weekend too. Being a good spiritual retreat, I do find I come back more tired with so much being compacted over the four days. But it is a big blessing to meet all together and have a spiritual retreat.

Sounds like a great meet and a real blessing. Funny how you still got roped into doing sound though!

Yeah it was. I guess there wasnt much free time though, especially to catch up with people. Don’t worry I volunteered to do sound, it had it’s moments.
