Gerald Bustin was the Evangelist for the crusade. This was celebrating 50 years of missionary work in PNG. Next to him is Thomas Gabriel. Mr. Gabriel is from a place called Manus Island, just off the main island of PNG. He used to live in Lae while we worked there in the '90's. He often came over with two or three bags of groceries. One day he brought over a huge fish he had bought at the seafood market. I think Thomas was sick, and that is why he had gone back to his island. But he flew over to come to the crusade. I was so blessed by that. At the top is a picture of our "house keeper" while we were in PNG during the 90's. The church hired her so that she could put one of her children in the Christian School. She became a great friend. One month before we left PNG for the states, she had another child. She named him Robert in honor of me. This is a picture of that Robert, who was an infant then. What a lovely child he was. I was honored that he made me a bag with seashells, and touched that the conection in my heart, seemed to be in his too. The land of Papua New Guinea is beautiful. The greatest resourse they have however, is no doubt, their people.
