Grumpy Missionary Dad Stories
My name is Josh. My wife and I moved our family 7,000 miles to a tropical island just north of Australia, a country called Papua New Guinea. We’re living in a town named Wewak on the northern coast where I work as an airplane mechanic supporting free medivac flights to the remote villages along the Sepik River. My wife, Janice, homeschools the kids, helps with financial stuff in the office, and manages the guest house. This is our story, as told from my point of view, the grumpy dad.
