Bill & Kelly Housley, Missionaries to Paupa New Guina

Bill moved in here in March and started building our bush house.  I, along with our 2 little daughters, joined him in May.  Our house building is done now and we are starting our language and culture kickoff.  It will take anywhere from 2-4 years to crack the code of this language that no other white man understands yet.  We hope after that to start literacy classes, translate the Bible, and teach the gospel here in the Itutang village.  We live in this one village where we have started the work, but there are 10 or more other villages that make up the INAPANG language group and we hope to see the gospel spread to them and the neighboring tribes, eventually. 

We are so aware of the way the Lord works through the prayers of his people in the States to sustain us day by day and give us strength for this God-size task.  One day we look forward to rejoicing around the throne of God with the believers from this forgotten place in our modern world and with all our co-workers who have served as our Prayer Warriors.  Thanks for joining the ITUTANG team!              Kelly Housley
