PNG Recce

 PNG here we come.  Next week Marcus and I fly out to PNG for a look at an amazing missionary organisation called CLTC (Christian Leaders Training College).  CLTC is situated in the Wahgi Valley at 5,500 ft, 60km east of Mt Hagen. The campus covers 400 acres of pastoral ground, and incorporates a Bible College, commercial beef, poultry and gardens programs. We understand it is quite a strategic mission, they not only equip Melanesians to pastor their own peoples, they self fund enough to reduce the costs to the students. They also do humanitarian work with the local village women.

And while we are there, these two cheeky boys are going to be having the holiday of a lifetime with friends and their families.

This photo was taken the last day of school. I could guess what they were laughing about, it most likely wasn't polite.  They find those jokes the funniest!

So why am I documenting the process?  Well at this point in time the boys don't know what 2013 is shaping out to look like.  Neither do we, but they are totally in the dark on this.  We decided that to home school was  a big enough transition to make without the prospect of moving countries and away from their friends.  So to avoid unsettling them any more than necessary at this point in time, we are keeping this information to ourselves.  However we would love to show them how we came to seeking out this opportunity, so what better way than to start a blog for them.  They will take over the blog once school starts or when we leave NZ.We hope it will be our family/homeschool blog.
