IT FINALLY HAPPENED!

Gayle’s visa approval came through!  We are now sending our passports to the PNG Embassy in Washington DC to get stamped.  As soon as they arrive back to us, we can purchase airline tickets and get this mission trip started.

We, along with our friends and family, have been praying and waiting for this for seven months since our paperwork first arrived in Papua New Guinea.  There have been emotional highs and lows as each month has passed.  We questioned when and why many times.  We may never know those answers, but we know God was in control and working his plan throughout the whole process.  As long as it brings glory to HIS name it is good as far as we are concerned.

Our friends in Kudjip might be more excited than we are and hopefully they stay excited once they have met us. We have received many emails today of excitement, more information, and our next steps.  We certainly appreciate their care and concern as it makes us feel connected.  Continue to pray for our friends in Kudjip as they carry-on the work necessary to make up for being shorthanded while they continue to run the hospital and school.

There are many little ends to tie together as the end draws ever closer.  Pray that we get them all completed so the trip is not delayed any longer. 

We will let you know when the next step arrives, and our departure is scheduled.

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.           Romans 8:28

God Bless,

Bob and Gayle

    So glad progress is being made again. I know you guys are like a couple of race horses jumping at the bit to get out there and be of service to our Lord. It sounds trite to say God's timing is perfect, but we all know it's the truth. Much prayers and love 💕!

END OF A CHAPTER

  Dear Family and Friends:   It has been a very long time since we have corresponded with you through our blog though we have had the privilege to talk and visit with many during the last few months. We apologize for the long delay of sharing an update.   Truth be told we have been as uncertain as to what we were going to do or what God had for us to do as you were. We came home from Papua New Guinea in June of 2023 with the full expectation that we would be returning to PNG in the beginning of the 2023 fall school year. Throughout our wait from June 2023 until August of 2024 we have had many delays, pauses, and uncertainty in situations which we have come to realize were God directed.   Though at the time we were frustrated, impatient and often wondered “what are we supposed to be doing?”. Initially we had issues with our visas.   We had to reapply in June of 2023, but the PNG government had electronic processing issues which resulted in delays of getting our necessary documen

 LOSINGERS ON MISSION HISTORY :   Bob and Gayle Losinger have been married over 49 years.  Bob retired from teaching elementary school, and Gayle is a retired nurse.  They have two married sons and six grandchildren.  The Losingers have served in their local church, short term work & witness missions, Samaritan's Purse disaster relief and SOWER ministry.  This will be their first long term mission.   CALL : Pastor Tim Fall at the Clare Church of the Nazarene asked the Losingers to attend a mission conference to represent their church.  At the conference they heard Doctors Ben and Katherine Radcliffe speak.  They shared about an urgent need for a teacher for the missionary kids at the Kudjip, Papua New Guinea Nazarene Hospital MK School.  After praying about this need, Bob and Gayle applied and are in the process of getting visas to travel to PNG and serve.  Bob will teach at the school and Gayle will be an educational consultant for the hospital.

SCHOOL'S OUT

We have arrived home after spending the past eight weeks in PNG.   Since the Missionary Kids school is out for “summer” and won’t resume until August our teaching commitment is fulfilled. It was a HUGE blessing to be part of a community where everyone was there to serve God.   Life was busy with responsibilities and duties to perform to keep the mission running smoothly.   However, the blessing that comes is knowing every missionary serving at the hospital was there to glorify God and advance His kingdom.   What a privilege to get a glimpse of what God wants everyone to live and experience. We are so grateful for being a very small part of what God is doing in PNG. The last week prior to leaving was a roller coaster of emotions: sadness to leave so many enjoyable students and their families, along with many new national friends and acquaintances, excitement about seeing our family, hopefulness that we can get beyond the Chikungunya Fever that we had our last week in PNG, uncertainty
