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.
May there be many Gogodala in the Kingdom because of people like you who “Go getta dala.” Thank you.

A bright flash lit the sky followed by a loud explosion. People screamed, and children cried and grabbed their parents, eyes wide with terror.

Among the class members was a lady whose husband had previously shown strong prejudice against Seventh-day Adventists, even kicking SDA students out of the village. Another class member was a high-ranking woman in the major church of the village. These all came and participated in our worship service. Praise God!
