Heading to Papua New Guinea

Dear Friends,

After waiting numerous months, we have finally received approval for our work permit from the Labor Department of the Papua New Guinea government. We have now applied for our entry visas, and God willing, we will fly out of the U.S. via Tokyo on February 22nd. Now I know the meaning of "wait upon the Lord."

Current plans are to spend the next three months at Kudjip Nazarene Hospital and return mid May. Kudjip is in the Western Highlands of Papua New Guinea (which is north of Australia). It is a small hospital in a village setting.  We had originally planned to stay for four months, but with the delays in obtaining the work permit it is now shortened to three months. We still want to return as our children, Keara and Gavin, complete their semester.

Scot will mostly be involved with Gynecology, although he will be on call for Cesarean sections. Tyronza has had a crash course in basic ultrasound and will work with Scot at the gynecologic clinic and whatever else is required of a missionary "go-fer". 

For more information regarding our ministry in PNG, you may check on us at www.storktale.blogspot.com. Thanks again for all your support and prayers. a special thank you for all of you who have made the new portable ultrasound machine possible.

God bless you and your families,

Scot & Tyronza Pringle
