Hi Michel, Sorry for not answering earlier, I was out of the country for three weeks... I think there is no problem to contact local people on Manus Island. I know, that missionaries from Liebenzell Mission Germany are working there, who, I believe, could assist you. Maybe, you try simon-herrmann[at]gmx.net. I know him personally. He might be able to give you further advice. Greetings and best wishes, Paul-Gerhardt

I used to live there in the 90's. My apartment is on the far right of the picture, about in the middle. I miss the place. Will certainly go back

Hey, what a surprise... :-)) I also thank our LORD for the great lifetime-experience and many blessings while being on Manus. There are quite a few news of the work of Liebenzell missionaries in the internet, however (sorry), mostly in german language. Maybe, you might check http://www.liebenzell.org/toplinks/english/ and also our branches in Canada http://www.liebenzell.ca/ and USA http://www.liebenzellusa.org/ to see, what work is being done by Liebenzell missionaries.

thanks for the comment :)

Thanks. Some people look at it and think it's scary. But I think it's beautiful. Gives me a sense of peacefulness, calmness and tranquility. How beaatiful nature is.

If you look past the aeroplane, you will see my village (Riuriu). It's at the end of my runway. I'm really beginning to miss home...he he he
