furlough, and is never considered a foreigner. Cameron Townsend
Praises
We have moved to alarger and more
centrally located
hostel.
God is buildingbeautiful new
relationships
between our family
and our hostel kids.
Marty is leading adaily Bible study
group at 6:30am,
and we are watching
God work in the lives
ofour boysthrough it!
Praise be to the name ofGod for ever and ever;wisdom and powerare His.He changes times andseasonsDaniel 2:20-21a NIV
Can it really almost be springtime at
home in the Carolinas? Our
memories serve us well as we vividly
remember those first warm days of
spring and all the beautiful new
foliage that comes to life with thechange of season. In many ways each
day in Ukarumpa feels like
springtime. God has gifted our lives
here with flowers and plants that
blow your mind, crisp mornings that
require slippers or socks to keep your
feet comfy, and warm and breezy
afternoons that whisk away any
thoughts of the once cool morning.
Though we are not experiencing a
change of season from winter to
springtime we are living out our
greatest life changing season ever as
childrens home parents. We never
could have imagined we would have
eleven children in our care. And to
boot, a son who speaks with a
Jersey accent, one German son,
one Canadian son, and two PapuaNew Guinean sons! Weare a
blended household for sure. But we
are also a united household. Just as
we give of our time and efforts to
serve these kids so that their parents
can further Bible translation
throughout PNG, these kids give
sacrificially as well as they adapt to
what life is like with the Driggers
while being separated from theirfamilies.
On the front steps before church.
We praise God for in His infinite
wisdom He brought our family to
serve here in PNG at this exact time.
We also praise God for uniting your
family with ours to further Bible
translation in Papua New Guinea, and
allowing us to impact the lives of
such fantastic kids along the way. He
is forever good!
Until all have heard,
Marty, Sara and those girls

We remain in debt toour branch for ourshipping fees in excess
of $4000. Please pray
for one-time gifts to
meet this need.
Marty has been battlingalmost continual illness.
Please pray for his
complete recovery and
good health for our
entire family. Please pray for God to
give endurance and
strength! We are

Parenting so manychildren requires
wisdom beyond our

that God would speak
directly to us and we
would have ears to
listen to His direction.
