Latest Wilson Prayer Notes

Dear Friends and Family.
Greetings from Mt Hagan.

We hope this note finds you all well and enjoying the challenges of life where-ever you may be. We have some good news since our last prayer letter. Sandy was issued his permanent residence visa for Australia soon after we wrote. This happened a lot quicker than we were told it would take, so as you can imagine we were very happy about that. Thank you for praying about this with us.

The Wilson’s are all doing very well up here in P.N.G. Life has been as busy as usual with the normal routine of school, flying, and other MAF related activities. One big item of news this past month, a landslide in the town of Gera, on the only road between here and the coast, caused major chaos. All of Mt Hagen and the surrounding regions rely on this road for transport of goods. With the road cut, we did not receive any supplies, including fuel for almost a month. The MAF families were all given enough warning to stock up on essentials, as the shops were soon out of stock. Fortunately, a detour was built and the road is open again in much quicker time than first anticipated. A great relief to everyone.

With all the usual activities of life, we have had the additional challenge of job hunting and planning for our new life back in Australia.
As our departure date creeps towards us (16th of July for Narelle and girls, 30th July for Sandy) – ever so quickly, we have begun sorting through our household goods and planning to start packing in a few weeks. We only have two months left here in P.N.G, after which we are planning a quick trip to Johannesburg on our way to the UK where we will participate in our final MAF commitments. These include meetings at our headquarters for de-briefing, medical checks and of course, final visits with supporters.

We are really looking forward to catching up with friends and family, and sharing, for the last time, about our life here in P.N.G with Mission Aviation Fellowship.

A HUGE praise point – we have been offered a house to live in for the first 6 weeks we get back to Melbourne – this was a wonderful answer to prayer, as it takes the pressure off us having to rush to find a home straight away. God has been so good to us, and we know he will provide for all our needs.

Please continue to pray for us as we continue to make plans. Sandy has been applying for jobs back in Australia, but we have nothing certain as yet.

Please pray that God will provide Sandy with a good job, a home for us to live in, and a good school for the kids. Please also pray that our family would have peace through this time of lots of ‘unknowns’ – especially for Rachel and Megan.

Thank you all so much for your love and support. Please let us know how we can pray for you!

Love always,
Narelle, Sandy, Rachel and Megan Wilson
