With last week's video looking at what heart language in, this week's video from NTM PNG answers the question: why use heart language?
We haven't been the only missionaries busy learning heart language. We are blessed to work with others who have been through the same marathon as us to learn to speak a minority language to a high standard. In a country as linguistically diverse as Papua New Guinea, what even is heart language though? This video from NTM PNG takes a look at the question.
I'm well aware of the trap of needing to say "I've been busy" to justify our living off the charity of others. I try to avoid that mindset, though, as being busy doesn't necessarily mean being effective. Busyness can (but doesn't have to, of course) lead to a lack of focus, a false sense of progress, and a ministry defined by what we do for God rather than what he does through us.

Hope you have a healthy restful home assignment. You deserve it after all the hardwork you have both put in this past three years.

Very well done this video. Very clear, relaxed with other pictures and video included. Very well done, the talk, explaining the work, the Kovol, the partners. Nicely done between the 2 of you.
