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.
Praise God, for He touched Ivan’s heart through the self-sacrificing service of a few humble community service ladies who, following the example of Jesus, visited the sick and ministered to their needs.

Despite my handicap, the Overcomers’ Conference was a tremendous blessing, not just to those who attended but to Laurie and myself as well. We have been asked to do another similar conference as soon as possible. Thank you for your prayers.

How many other isolated believers need our encouragement? Maybe it’s time for us to do some exploring and find them.

“There is something special going on here at this mission, and God protected me.”
Please pray for our project: those who have been introduced to Christ and those whom God is waiting to introduce us to.

A sense of peace came over me as I stood in the shade of the mango tree. God, You’ve got things under control.

We do not always know how God will use us, but when we trust in the Lord with all our hearts, He directs our paths. “Commit thy works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall be established”

We need to have both feet in God’s canoe. When we all pull together, the canoe, His church, moves forward.

That night, waiting in bed in the dark, the thought occurred to me that the last time Christian needed medicine, Jason had asked for an extra course of antibiotics, just in case.
