Kevin and Carolyn Johnson Enroute to Papua New Guinea Hello Everyone!
We are thrilled to be writing again and giving a great update on our kids! All of you who wrote back or prayed have encouraged us greatly. The Lord has definitely had His healing hand on Zowee and Noelle. After 12 days of being on her allergen-free diet, Zowee started to show some big improvements! She has much more focus and control. She has been cheerful and compliant! Zowee has also been able to stay dry for the past week! Her sleep has been great also, which has helped everything. Basically, all the things we were hoping and praying for have happened!! Now the challenge is to keep this diet!
The next great news is about Noelle! We found out that she is mainly allergic to milk and mildly allergic to several of the same things as Zowee. After 4 days of being off those foods, Noelle slept through the night! She has been sleeping great ever since! (Remember, she had been up anywhere from 3-6 times a night for the past 10 months!) She is also eating more of a normal amount of food at meals since she is taking food enzymes. We are so thankful for the changes we have seen! Here are a few prayer requests we have.
1. Pray for us as we try to keep the kids’ diets healthy and free of allergens, especially as we visit people and travel.
2. We are revamping our plans for the next few months and are praying for direction in how to spend our time. We will probably be staying closer to the Missoula area and doing short trips. Pray that we would put our time into the most important things every day. Praise God for new opportunities to share with people in Missoula, Lolo, Stevensville, and Troy, MT in the last three weeks!
3. Praise God for his provision of finances through gifts and a very successful rummage sale! We raised over $4000 at the Rummage Sale in Missoula last week! Many people worked to make that possible and we want to thank each one for their part in that!
4. Pray that the Barbeque Fundraiser at Lolo Community Church* this Sunday would go well and people would be encouraged by all that the Lord is doing in Papua New Guinea! (See Details below)
5. Pray for the Bozeman Rummage Sale Fundraiser* on June 6 to go well and that the rest of our out-going expenses would be raised by the end of July. We have $8000 of the $17,500 needed and %40 of our monthly support! (Details below)
Thank you so much for praying! If you live in the Missoula or Bozeman area, please read the other info below! God Bless you today, Love,
The Johnsons

Bozeman Rummage Sale!!!! Here is the info in a letter from my sister, Allison.
“Hello! For all of you in the Bozeman area, the Johnson’s support team wanted to let you know about and invite you to be a part of a garage sale that we are having on June 6th at 129 Dogwood Drive (just off Gooch Hill Road). We are praying that this would be a way that we can encourage the Johnson’s and help them with some of their one-time expenses as they prepare to go to PNG.
If you have any items that you would like to donate, please let us know. We may even have a bake sale, if anyone is interested in baking any muffins, cookies, etc. Also, if you would like to help set up the sale the night before or help run the sale that day, that would be wonderful. And of course, please stop by and visit us on June 6th!”
