The team volunteered and visited with many people in the hospital, on the station, and off the station. The team worked on the Volunteer House completing the metal siding, putting window frames and bars in, and painting all the fascia board and window frames. Some team members painted and redecorated one of the volunteer doctor’s flats for the doctors who will be coming in the future. One team member was a professional seamstress, who completed pillowcases, wall hangings, pillows, and shower curtains for the volunteer house and doctor’s flat. The team held two Bible Schools at local churches with several in attendance. The team members built relationships with local people.

The Medford team is busy with several different projects. The ladies are rotating four a day to paint one of the doctor’s flats. They are using an oil base paint called mission white. It sure helps brighten up the rooms. Marilyn has sewn table clothes for the dining talbes and is sewing pillow cases for bedrooms. Two ladies are rotating daily to cook, clean, and do laundry. Three men are helping on the Volunteer House all day. Several other team members are working at the hospital during the morning then helping in the afternoon on the Volunteer House. Of course the Winter’s children are having a blast playing with the mission station children.

Mike is supervising the construction site. Mike has 4 men from Papa Gola’s line working this week. They have poured the siding panels for the front of the house, the roof is just about completed, the windows are being made, and the fascia boards are being painted. It is amazing how any hands make everything come together.

Thank you, Winter’s Team. We are so excited to have new friends and look forward to future interactions.

The porch roof needs copper (tin). What a team! They worked extremely hard the entire 7 days that they were on the Volunteer House site. We found everyone working and having fun. They were challenging each other to be the best they could be. Denny was a great superintendent for the project site. The younger members of the team screened sand for the front siding panels that will be poured into the cement for the Volunteer House decoration and look of individuality. We had two members try out the emergency room with a couple of stitches in the head and one in a finger. Other than those two instances, everyone was safe.

The ladies were extremely busy with keeping the meals prepared and ready for the day, cleaning, and washing clothes. Terri (chef) knew what she waited and the others followed her lead. Lois found out that keeping the water filters fill, ice made, and water jugs filled that she had a full time job on her hands. Cheryl, Carol, and Jenny finished all the curtains and closet coverings for the entire house. Now there is enough materials to make place mats, table coverings, pillows, and wall hangings. We are looking forward to other teams coming and helping complete the projects.

Dr. John was presented with the Barnabas Award while here. It is an award that is given for all the work that has been done for the hospital. Dr. John and family have been to PNG several times

When the team left Friday, we knew that we had new friends! We appreciate all their time, effort, and willingness to build relationships with the local people. We know that God will bless them for their willingness to serve and give of themselves. THANK YOU for coming!
