Papua New Guinea - Paul & Robina Wolff
February 2019
A very eventful month... The Solong translation of the Old Testament minor prophets is nearly complete. I'm busy doing final edits and printing copies to take with me to Papua New Guinea for the Bible Teachers to teach from. So many details and preparations to accomplish before departing for PNG.
I just received word that Beta, one of our faithful Solong Christian ladies has passed from this life and has gone to her reward. She will be greatly missed by all the Solong Church. She was a great help and encouragement to all she came in contact with.
Construction continues on our little "hut on stilts". Progress has been slow but they are doing a beautiful job.
We are hoping to do two more "chicken projects" during this trip to PNG. One for the Solong and another for the Hamtai bible teachers. Our first project is doing wonderfully and producing many eggs that are sold at market to finance the work of the gospel.

Airline tickets have been purchased & travel documents are in hand. Now we are busy getting everything ready to head back to Papua New Guinea the first of March. We will continue checking through the Solong Old Testament Translation & work through Bible lessons with our local Church leaders & teachers. A huge praise is that we will no longer need to pay thousands per month in rent for housing as our Solong team have almost completed our little "hut on stilts". Pray that we can find a good cheap used vehicle to purchase as IGO's block of land is quite a distance from Lae town. |

Excellent progress being made on the Solong Old Testament, the first draft of Zechariah is complete. Also construction has finally begun in Lae on our little Hut on Stilts. Very soon everything will be ready for our return to PNG to continue checking the Old Testament books being translated. I am really looking forward to spending time with all the bible teachers to see how the bible classes are going. One class will be graduating in January from the bible course.

This week we are working on the minor prophet book of Haggai. It is a short book and very encouraging as Haggai was one of the few prophets that the people actually listened to and obeyed the words of the Lord.
In Papua New Guinea the building materials have finally been purchased and transported up to the property, They surprised me by building us the nicest outhouse's I have ever seen in Papua New Guinea... complete with a cement floor, PVC commode and even a lid. More gravel was delivered yesterday so they can begin setting posts for the main house.

Progress continues on the OT Translation... working through Habakkuk this week. Our House posts finally arrived on site and timber cut with a chainsaw was also transported up to the new property from the island down the coast where it was cut. Soon the building of house number two (our house) will begin.
Thank you all for your faithful prayers.

We plan to head back to Papua New Guinea to continue the Translation checking as soon as we have a shelter for Robina and I on IGO's new property. Chris has built himself a house out of poles & plastic... Drinking water storage containers purchased... toilet hole dug... timber cut with chain saw... solar power ready. Still waiting on posts and roofing tin. In the mean time, work is progressing well on our translation of the minor prophets.
Also shown are chickens purchased for one of IGO's Bible teachers. The eggs produced by the chickens provide ministry income for them to self sustain the ministry.
