Patrick and Dawn Eggleton Expanding the Reach of the Gospel in PNG 
As many of you know, this year has brought about a change in our ministry focus. Patrick is moving to a position as elementary principal while still teaching some courses and Dawn will continue to work with homeschooling moms while also providing therapy for students with learning difficulties. The past few weeks have been very busy with preparations for these ministries. What does a principal do? Well, before these last few weeks, I wouldn’t have known how to respond. I have always appreciated the leadership and support of principals who handled the “business” side of things while I taught in my classroom. Now I am learning a little bit about their side of the educational “fence”.
These past few weeks I have been moving equipment in rooms, corresponding with parents, answering questions, listening, obtaining supplies, preparing orders, killing roaches, going to meetings, preparing handouts, and on and on and on!!! It has been a busy time, but it has been a joy to be able to serve in a role that meets the needs of so many.
These great kids are our ministry and yet – we are still church planters. You see, the church planting efforts in the tribal locations could not occur if someone was not here to provide an education for these children – the children of pilots, supply buyers, doctors, leaders, maintenance people, and so forth. Though our piece of the puzzle may not seem like a very big one, it makes it possible for so much else to occur. Your piece of the puzzle may also not seem very big – but you are also a church planter, making it possible for us and many others to minister in this far away place.
