Welcome to the Ukarumpa Clinic

-

Hey My Friends,

I may be here in the USA at the moment by my heart, prayers and thoughts are never far from the work in Papua New Guinea (PNG). In fact, even this week I've been emailing with one of my Papua New Guinean friends who works in the clinic. We've been chatting back and forth so that I can "keep my finger on the pulse"(not sure if pun is intended there, but....) of how things are going at the clinic and so that I can pray for the work going on there. It's a vibrant clinic serving both my fellow Wycliffe missionaries, missionaries from other organization, commercial patients and Papua New Guineans. It's a wonderful place to work and I love staying connected with them even while I'm here.

Many of you have asked what the clinic is like. I thought about trying to describe it to you but my friends in Ukarumpa (the location of the clinic in the Eastern Highlands Province of PNG) have beat me to the punch and made a video. So, instead of describing it to you I thought I'd share a video (see link above underneath the picture of the clinic). It shows you a little of the clinic and you'll get to "meet" some of my coworkers, friends and patients. :) I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Christ Follower,
Megan

Psalm 121: "He's not breathing! Please come now!"

  This story was shared with permission from the patient and family “He’s not breathing! Please come now!” The voice on the other end of the line was tense, close to panicked. “I’m coming now.” I replied. I hung up the phone and ran out the door. I drove across the center, praying urgently for God’s wisdom and help. My car rattled to a stop at the end of the driveway and I could see people standing near the door. I jumped out of my car and ran up the drive and into the house. The patient was in the throes of a severe seizure and was surrounded by scared and desperate friends. My eyes took in the situation and my mind clicked over into assessment mode: watching his chest, feeling for pulse, checking for responses from the patient. Within two minutes it was clear the seizure was not going to stop. “We need to get him to the clinic in my car.” I said. One of my friends grabbed my keys to open the doors of my car, and several strong guys came and picked up the patient. I guided them ou...

Many people have asked me about my Wycliffe ministry, how I ended up working with Wycliffe, and what I'm doing in Papua New Guinea. So, per your requests, I've put together a video to share about what I do and to answer some of your questions. This video will give you a little bit of a window into my Wycliffe ministry to the people of Papua New Guinea and why I'm passionate about people having access to God's Word in a language that speaks to their heart. Please feel free to share this video with friends, and don't hesitate to contact me via my Wycliffe Ministry Page: https://www.wycliffe.org/partner/3DF2D8 Or connect with me via my blog: https://www.purposeasia.blogspot.com I would love for you to join my team!

The Glorious Everyday

A double rainbow that caught our attention "The heavens declare the glory of God;  the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge. They have no speech, they use no words; no sound is heard from them. Yet their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world."                                                                                                Psalm 19:1-4a NIV    A soft breeze wafts through the window of my office. I can hear kids jumping on a trampoline next door and the bustle of the end of the work day as people head home. The smell of fresh grass and light rain and sweet wood smo...
