PNG: Ukarumpa Autoshop

If you are looking for a way to use your mechanic skills to serve in Bible translation and are flexible with a servant heart, please join us.  You are needed!




The Auto Shop at Ukarumpa is critical for the Bible translation efforts around the country. The closest other reliable auto shop is 90 km. away. We had a Hilux truck that we used to get to our village allocation and we are very grateful for the availability and expertise of the Auto Shop staff!



The Auto Shop includes:


 -machine shop
-welding fabrication
-small engine repair
-outboard motor repair
-small appliance repair
-parts room
-fuel
-auto body repair

The shop is also helping village teams with their needs, such as generator and airstrip lawn mower repairs.  They are also looking into how to better support and serve the regional centers.

The Auto Shop staff also have 2 weeks a year to minister in another way, such has helping a translator in a village or showing the Jesus film to local villages.

  1. Good morning how are you?

    My name is Emilio, I am a Spanish boy and I live in a town near to Madrid. I am a very interested person in knowing things so different as the culture, the way of life of the inhabitants of our planet, the fauna, the flora, and the landscapes of all the countries of the world etc. in summary, I am a person that enjoys traveling, learning and respecting people's diversity from all over the world.

    I would love to travel and meet in person all the aspects above mentioned, but unfortunately as this is very expensive and my purchasing power is quite small, so I devised a way to travel with the imagination in every corner of our planet. A few years ago I started a collection of used stamps because trough them, you can see pictures about fauna, flora, monuments, landscapes etc. from all the countries. As every day is more and more difficult to get stamps, some years ago I started a new collection in order to get traditional letters addressed to me in which my goal was to get at least 1 letter from each country in the world. This modest goal is feasible to reach in the most part of countries, but unfortunately it’s impossible to achieve in other various territories for several reasons, either because they are countries at war, either because they are countries with extreme poverty or because for whatever reason the postal system is not functioning properly.

    For all this I would ask you one small favor:
    Would you be so kind as to send me a letter by traditional mail from Papua and New Guinea? I understand perfectly that you think that your blog is not the appropriate place to ask this, and even, is very probably that you ignore my letter, but I would call your attention to the difficulty involved in getting a letter from that country, and also I don’t know anyone neither where to write in Papua and New Guinea in order to increase my collection. a letter for me is like a little souvenir, like if I have had visited that territory with my imagination and at same time, the arrival of the letters from a country is a sign of peace and normality and an original way to promote a country in the world. My postal address is the following one:

    Emilio Fernandez Esteban
    Calle Valencia,39
    28903 Getafe (Madrid)
    Spain

    If you wish, you can visit my blog www.cartasenmibuzon.blogspot.com where you can see the pictures of all the letters that I have received from whole World.

    Finally I would like to thank the attention given to this letter, and whether you can help me or not, I send my best wishes for peace, health and happiness for you, your family and all your dear beings.

    Yours Sincerely

    Emilio Fernandez

    1. Hi Emilio,

      Sorry, I just saw this now! Yes, I would be glad to send you a letter from PNG but I won't be there until Oct. I'm in the USA now. I looked at your blog and you have many stamps/letters from around the world!

      Wendy
