The Gogodala people live deep in the sago swamps of the Western Province of Papua New Guinea. Approximately 25,000 men, women and children live in 30 villages stretched out on ridges of land that rise above large lagoons. They build their homes from split palm branches and cover them with thatched roofs made from sago palm leaves.
Missionaries have worked among the Gogodala for more than 60 years, trying to establish an indigenous church among the people. Yet, Gogodala men and women have shared that they never gave up their spirit traditions when they became “Christians.” Instead, they merged the two belief systems, often asking God to bless them before conducting their spirit ceremonies. Please pray that the Gogodala people will come to a true understanding of God’s love and care for them.

Being a missionary kid is fun and exciting. I think it’s a privilege because you get to do things that other kids haven’t experienced.

It is common for children to call several adults their “Daddy” and “Mommy.” It is also common for older kids like me to help take care of the younger children in our village.

I have watched the Lord use Giso in such a powerful way. But before that heart-changing conversion, Giso had one more near-death experience.

I want to see “M” become one of those leaders for Jesus, discipling others and helping plant new churches among his people.

Please pray that our Gogodala church family receive a burden to grow God’s church in their tribe, beyond to the surrounding tribes, and beyond that to the ends of the earth.

Even though we did not want to go, we actually had fun, and God helped us to have a good attitude.
