Episode 83 - Katie Pedan, Part 2: Emergency in PNG & Homeschool Journey
In part 2 of our chat, Katie shares about the challenges of COVID-19 in Papua New Guinea and her daughter’s serious arm injury that led them back to New Zealand for surgery. Katie reflects on what stayed with her most about their mission work and the unexpected lessons learned.
Katie also dives into her journey of homeschooling—why she chose it, the ups and downs, and some advice for those considering it. And as always, we ask Katie about how she lives her faith outside of Sunday. I know this episode will encourage and bless you.
