Some random scenes from PNG and the US

The Men's Lutheran Choir at Ascension Evangelical Lutheran Church, Savannah, Georgia, USA. Not a good bass but tried it out anyway and loved it.
This is a newly built church at home which was built at a cost of K50,000 by the members of the Kontkona Lutheran Church, Ogelbeng Circuit (ELC-PNG). I got baptised and confirmed there as a kid and it's good to see such changes take place at home as well as the number of christains begin to increase each day. May God continue to bless Kontkona Parish.
Raphael from SHP, Timothy Topa (I guess he is in POM, now) and I at a PNG July 4th gathering in Minnesota, USA. It was a blast!
Some of my family members and friends who posed for the camera prior to my departure to the USA. As they say, home is where your heart is, and I really felt that when I spent 2 months in PNG/Hagen. I loved every bit of it.
A mixture of PNG faces who got together in Wisconsin, Miluakee, USA for a winter gathering. Mr. Arel Nen and his family were kind enough to accommodiate all PNG wantoks for the weekend. It was an enjoyable moment for us all eventhough there were 5-6 inches of snow. (Seriously, I don't like snow!!, Maybe you know why?)
