A Meeting of Pacific Islanders
As a journalist I’m privileged to travel to remote locations, meet beautiful people and hear incredible stories of God at work. Believe it or not one of these privileges is sitting in on meetings I wouldn’t otherwise be invited to.

Meet Diane
I love the way Diane is determined to continue with her calling in Bible translation but also recognises that being a mother is a full-time gig. It was special for me to meet Diane because she is Australian – from Queensland!

A Week in the Kingdom
…I haven’t yet told you about this expedition that started the year. Well lean back in your chair, I’m taking you on a journey to the Kingdom of Tonga.

Culmination! (and some Preamble)
Shooting a conference is a tough gig. The lighting is terrible, you constantly feel in the way, and basically the same thing happens every day: people sitting at tables, people speaking with a microphone, people clapping. It’s tempting to shoot

As soon as we arrive from the airport, another Wycliffe photojournalist and I immediately gear up and head down towards the Honiara soccer stadium where the opening ceremony is already under way. It was easy to find, just follow the

Late Night Ramblings in Honiara
My head is buzzing. Can’t sleep. My room mate sleeps heavily nearby as my mind flashes through all the colorful events and intense conversations of the last seven days. And worries about tomorrow. I’ve got four, maybe five, interviews to squash into my last day here

Five Hours of Daylight
You’ll never believe where I am as I’m writing this. Its 5:08am and I’m on a bus heading towards Auckland airport to catch a flight to Tonga. I’d better post this now since I’ll continue to the smaller Tongan island

When I Met Estelle
Sometimes I find it hard to reconcile my faith in the Love and Grace of God with all that is so very wrong in our world. Which is why I like to keep a photo of Estelle on hand. Meet

The Lausanne Congress
I’m standing in the corner, staring out over the crowd. Watching, waiting. I assess where the light is strongest, I consider my approach. The speaker is wrapping up, and giving the table groups their questions. The lights are up, I’m

Ukarumpa – Sustainable Village at 5000 Feet
Ukarumpa is not what I expected it to be. It’s much nicer. I was thinking steamy jungle, basic but functional utilities – a mother of a base camp. But its more like a self-sustaining community – the kind of place

Plane Rides in PNG
Two Sundays ago I stepped off the plane in Port Moresby and into a sauna. For a brief moment my mind tells me, ‘This is temporary, it’s probably just heat from the plane engines’. But I have to switch to

Celebration – Tanna Style!
We were lucky enough during our stay on Tanna to attend a circumcision celebration feast in a nearby village. The young boys (about 8-9 years old) had been recovering, hidden in the nakamal (men’s house) with their male relatives, for

Well, we’re briefly back in civilisation from our first remote village experience. It was only 10 days, but it felt like a month! The village we went to, Angoru, is approx 2.5 hours by 4WD from the main town on Santo
