In April 2017 my wife Marie and I returned to Papua New Guinea where I was born to serve as music missionaries to the people of the Enga Province and the Gutnius (Good News) Lutheran Church. Below you find links to all of our newsletters and many other aspects of our ministry.
Yours in Christ,
Dr. Martin Dicke
