Deep within the remote terrains of Papua New Guinea’s lush jungles lies a touching story of how an unlikely family has brought hope and faith to the indigenous tribes residing there. Their incredible journey of love, compassion, and faith amidst the challenges of a foreign land has captured the hearts of many.

The Call to Adventure

In a world driven by ambition, materialism, and self-interest, it is rare to find individuals who embark on a voyage centered around faith and service. This is precisely what makes the story of the Thompson family so fascinating.

Their adventure commenced when Mark Thompson, a skilled pilot, felt a deep calling to serve communities in need across the globe. Together with his wife, Rachel, and their three children, Sophia, Ethan, and Lily, they left behind the comforts of their Western lifestyle, eager to make a positive impact on impoverished regions.

After extensive research, the Thompsons chose Papua New Guinea as their destination, drawn by the remote nature of its tribes, their need for medical assistance, and the lack of resources available to them. It was a leap of faith that would shape their lives forever.

Building Trust through Service

Arriving in Papua New Guinea, the Thompson family quickly realized the immense challenges they would face. Communication barriers, cultural differences, and the sheer isolation posed significant obstacles to their mission. Yet, undeterred, they embraced these challenges head-on.

Rather than imposing their own ideas and beliefs onto the tribes, the family adopted a collaborative approach. They worked alongside the locals, gradually building trust and understanding. Through this mutual respect, the Thompsons were able to provide medical assistance, educational resources, vocational training, and spiritual guidance.

Braving treacherous terrains, flying the family’s small aircraft to reach even the most secluded tribes, they brought hope where it seemed unimaginable. The children played a pivotal role in bridging the gap between cultures, forming lasting bonds with the indigenous children and becoming ambassadors of unity and goodwill.

A Testament of Faith

Living among the tribes for years, the Thompsons faced moments of doubt and despair. However, their unwavering faith persevered through the toughest of times. The family’s deep-rooted spirituality not only inspired the indigenous communities they served but also enabled them to find strength and resilience within themselves.

Witnessing the unwavering faith of the Thompsons, the tribes began to embrace Christianity, finding solace in the messages of hope and love preached by Mark, himself a devout Christian. The transition was gradual, but it signified a major transformation in the tribes’ spiritual perspective.

The Impact of Unconditional Love

The Thompsons' impact on the indigenous communities went far beyond the physical and spiritual aspects. The family strove to empower the locals, teaching them vital skills that could be passed down through generations.

Rachel, a nurse by profession, set up a small clinic where she provided medical aid and worked tirelessly to combat prevalent health issues. She educated the locals on hygiene practices, general health awareness, and tirelessly treated individuals in need.

Education played a crucial role in the Thompsons' mission. They facilitated the construction of a school, educating children who had never seen the inside of a classroom before, expanding their horizons and enhancing their prospects for a better future.

Mirroring their unwavering love and dedication, the Thompsons' efforts started a ripple effect within the tribes. As the locals witnessed the compassion and sacrifice of this remarkable family, many banded together to support their cause, further amplifying the positive changes brought forth.

A Vision For a Better Tomorrow

After years of service, the Thompsons' impact on the tribes of Papua New Guinea is awe-inspiring. Their story has spread far and wide, captivating the attention of individuals around the globe.

The family's vision extends beyond their physical presence in Papua New Guinea. They aim to inspire others to embark on selfless acts of service, addressing the needs of forgotten communities that often exist on the periphery of society.

The Thompsons believe that through compassion, faith, and a genuine desire to make a difference, each person has the power to transform lives and create a brighter future. Their journey highlights the incredible potential within every individual, regardless of their background or circumstances.

The Enduring Legacy of an Extraordinary Faith Family

The Thompson family's unexpected adventure, fueled by faith and love, acts as an inspiration to all. It reminds us of the unyielding power of compassion and the transformative effect of selfless acts.

Although their journey is one of a kind, it reinforces the notion that the most significant impact often arises from the most unlikely endeavors. It is through these unexpected encounters that lives are changed and new relationships are formed.

So, let us celebrate the Thompsons' remarkable story and honor their legacy by finding our own unique ways to bring love, faith, and compassion into the lives of those who need it most.

Busilmin. If you can imagine the end of the world, Busilmin is it. Busilmin brings the definition of isolated to life. It is this isolation, this remoteness, that defines existence in the depths of the rainforest. Death is life. Life is death. Survival is the bridge. It is into the heart of this seclusion that Mission Aviation Fellowship chooses to fly; into depths of this need that we conveyed our very young family. Out of this beautiful land that we departed with our much older family, and a lifetime of near-unbelievable memories.
This is not about planes. The aircraft are only the scenery for the tale. These are the stories of our years in Papua New Guinea. All families have stories. The backdrop for our narrative is the end of the world, and that brings a unique flavour to these accounts. The Sibilanga pig. The bullet at Aiyura. Crocodiles. Rainbows. Strange food. Places with stranger names. All with one thing in common: unpredictable, unforeseen, unanticipated, unexpected.
