We will be glad to answer any questions or provide more information that will help you understand what our minister is all about while serving in Papua New Guinea. Our home assignment is to share that information. Also, we are raising funds for our support to continue doing the construction and training ministry here in Papua New Guinea.

Thank you for all your prayers and support that you have given us over the past two and half years. We are here because you are part of the Papua New Guinea ministry.

More updates will come.

Have a blessed week.

Diane and Michael Chapman
Special Assignment Missionaries
Papua New Guinea

We will be talking with people about coming as a work and witness team or individually to help with the building and construction projects.  We always like to have volunteers and skilled workmen, who are willing to train and work along side the Papua New Guinea workmen.  What a blessing and experience, it is to work along side the Papua New Guineans.

We also want to build relationships/partnerships with people and organizations who will help us meet the vision and goal of educating and training the people of Papua New Guinea to have a better life.  Working with the college students at the Bible College and College of Nursing, there is a big need for social and technical education.
