{POC as seen from the point}
Dear Friends,
Due
to our recent computer failures we are down to one last computer that does not
have our mailing lists or outlook programs on it. As a result we will be
communicating with as many of you as possible through Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/mattcrosland2?ref=hl
) and the Blog (http://thecroslands.blogspot.com/
) for the next month or so. Please, pass on our posts to anyone else you know
who receives our newsletters.
First
I want to thank all of you for your prayers over the last couple of months. Our
water problems have eased as rain has come again and the tanks are full. We are
still working hard to add more holding capacity to the system for future dry
seasons. A friend of mine from Ukarumpa (Brian Frey) came
down last week and we got the generator running again, so our power situation
should be stable for the time being. All of our students have been doing well in
their village allocations and we will be going out to get them later this week.
Tiffany
has a tooth that broke shortly after we arrived in July. We are planning on
taking the students to Ukarumpa on November 19th so she can see the
dentist before they go on furlough. Please pray for our safe travels and that
they will be able to fix Tiffany’s tooth.
As
most of you are aware by now we are expecting our last baby in March. We will
be flying to Cairns, Australia in mid February for the birth. We would like to
ask for your help to make this possible. The trip is broken into two sections
the first is a small single engine plane that will fly us between Ukarumpa and
Port Moresby, PNG. The second is a commercial flight between Port Moresby and
Cairns, Australia. The total cost round trip is $4,600. The small plane will be
$1800 round trip. Fortunately, this payment is not due until we fly in
February. The remaining $2800 will cover the commercial flight. We need to get
this money as soon as possible. The commercial ticket prices are already
starting to go up and we need to buy the tickets by this Friday (November 15).
We have already received $300 toward reaching this goal. If you would like to
help you can visit our secure page at the Wycliffe website: http://www.wycliffe.org/Partnership.aspx?eis=215582,
as always all gifts are tax deductable. Please pray that God provides what we
need to purchase our tickets.
Blessings,
The Croslands
