Big News x 2

womb2

      Well, as you can guess the first part of our big news is there is going to be a new addition to the Crosland clan, number 6 is on the way. This was an exciting surprise for us. We are all very happy and can’t wait to see the eighth member of our family.  This announcement complicates our next big news but that is just part of God’s plan for us and we are excited to see what he is doing in our lives.

       The second big announcement is that we have accepted a new assignment. We will now be working at POC (Pacific Orientation Course) fulltime. I will be the center manager. I will look after day-to-day operations of the center, facilitating language learning classes, and teach some anthropology classes as well. Tiffany will look after the store on the center, coordinate devotions, and help new students adjust to life in PNG. This new assignment means that we get to live and work more closely with Papa New Guineans. It also means that we get to help train missionaries that will serve all over the South Pacific with lots of different agencies.

      We are very excited about all the new things that God is doing in our lives. Keep checking back lots of new information will be coming soon!!!
