We're back!

So I feel like I've said this before but.... I'm going to try and keep this blog a little more up to date!
I think that all of you should know this by now but just in case, we are living in Paupa New Guinea. We are currently living in Madang, PNG and we are going through a 14 week language/culture school. Weft the states on July 17th and will be done with language school in mid November and then our plan is to move to the Eastern Highlands Province. Our purpose in coming is to church plant among the unreached. If you have ANY questions about our ministry you can check out toeverytribe.com or email us anytime at kelley.sisson@toeverytribe.com or alex.sisson@toeverytribe.com.

What made me start blogging again was Graham. Today he asked some very interesting questions.
He had just laid down for an afternoon nap and I heard him call out for me. I went in and asked what he needed and he just sat up and asked me,
"mom are you a Christian?"
"yes, I am G"
"am I a Christian mom and what is a Christian?"
"A Christian is a person who believes in God." Before I could say anymore he said, "and a Christian is a person who loves God too."
He went on to ask things like; Where is heaven? Where do we go when we die? WEHRE DO THOSE WHO DON'T BELIEVE GO? Will they be there forever? Does God make us have boo-boos? Why does God let hurricanes kill people? He asked so many very detailed questions. I sat him down and tried my best to answer his questions as well as I thought a 3 year old could understand and he seemed to totally understand!

Alex then sat him down and totally shared the gospel with him. How awesome is it that God works through a crazy little 3 year old??

2 more little quotes from the conversation-
I asked Graham how people who have never heard of God still believe and he look at me and said, "thats why we have the bible" I then had a great opportunity to tell him just why we are here!

second quote-
I was telling him how Hell came to be and I started with telling him that there was an angel named Lucifer and he stopped me and said "mom, the good teachers back in our church in Texas told me all about it and how he did not want to do what God wanted him to do so God kicked him out of heaven. Mom, they are good teachers there" thanks Divine Providence and Mrs. Ruth!!!!
