Jason & Kellie Knapp (left) with their family and fellow missionary family in Papua, New Guinea.

I just read an email from some friends who are missionaires in Papua, New Guinea. They are presenting the Gospel in the native language of the tribe they are in for the first time today. There is significant opposition to their teaching from a cult. The cult is trying to draw the people away at the same time the teaching is going on, so they will not hear it. Please pray for the Knapps and the hearts of the people they have given their lives to. It is so awesome to see how Jason, Kellie & their kids have dedicated their lives to first learning the language, developing a written form of the language, and now translating and teaching the truth of the Bible in the tribe's native tongue. Their website is http://www.claypots.org.

WOW! I knew the Knapps were in NG but I didn't know the extent of their ministry. How exciting! Thanks for the update and website . . . we'll certainly pray for them today and tomorrow.

Hey, Jen, don't tell Jason you want a puppy...he will ship ours next day delivery! He is a dumpling...which is why he still has a family and a house to live in...but oh, I am having trouble with some of this puppy stuff! Fun, Fun!
