Updated Thursday 08 November 2007 Finally last week (after three months of waiting) the radio parts arrived in Wewak from Brisbane, Australia
Tony had to pay an extra 700 Kina to customs to get the parts released, and now the transmitter is operating again, in the workshop at the station. Tony still needs to make some more tests and adjustments, but it is actually working! Next Tony needs to hire a four wheel drive to take the transmitter back up the mountain as far as possible. From there he walks and carries the equipment. |

I got this email from Tony last night.
"Finally I found out that the parts were sitting at the customs in Port Moresby waiting to be cleared, and sent to Wewak,Anywhere thanks for your help, so we should be receiving them by this time next week. | 
|
"Once again a BIG THANKYOU to you and all those who stood with us in prayer... You all played a very significant roll and you all are part of what happening here. Love you all." Tony got over 60 emails after my last Tok Tok!
The internet in Wewak is extremely slow and intermittent, so Tony can't answer you personally.
But he did send me another message to pass on to you . . . "Hello everyone You may never know how those e-mails you sent did to me, I felt tears streaming down my eyes as I went through each of those letters you sent carefully,I didn't just read them but I felt like swallowing them, literally I felt the comfort of God presence all around me. I felt that I was not alone. It gives me a picture that I have partners all around the world standing with me in this situation holding me up. |  |
You all are blessings.I don't know what would I do with out all your prayers supports.and encouragements.Thank God almighty for you all. Being in a situation like this is totally new to me, the thoughts to quite has overshadowed me, all I though was to leave every thing and find something else to do, or walk away from this ministry. Your message are timely,your prayers are doing the work here. Once again on behalf of the team here in wewak PNG, thank you so much for lifting us up in your prayers. Love and Blessings from all of us here.
Tony and all the staffs"
And let me add my thanks as well. Thank you for emailing. Thank you for praying.
Please don't stop praying just yet -
it'll be another week before those parts actually arrive,
then Tony has to install them and get the transmitter working again.

I got this email from Tony in Wewak today . . .
"Sorry, I haven't received those things sent yet. I found out that the plane (Air Niugini) that travels between Port Moresby and Wewak has gone into some kind of major operation, and it hasn't came back yet. . . I am assuming all the things are in Port Moresby by now. Waiting to be sent to Wewak."
Tony is discouraged.
The radio station has been off the air for many weeks while we raised the money andpurchased the transmitter parts. Those parts were sent a month ago and they still have not arrived!
Tony's email continues . . .
"Please I need your prayer very much , we are so desperate to see the radio station come back and not us but only, but every where I go people are still asking us why is it taking so long? . . . But I do really need your prayers."
Radio is so very effective for the Gospel
especially in a remote place like Wewak
No wonder there is such a battle
over getting a few radio parts delivered by plane
No wonder there is such a spiritual battle
with discouragement for Tony and the radio staff |
