Home Missionary sent to Daru - Nov 2011

For a long time we have wanted to send Home Missionaries to the untouched regions of PNG. Daru is one such place. In November, God moved upon the heart of a young man from Goroka, Bro. Jack Gene and family, to go to this remote region.

This is just one of the places which the World Missions Department has reached out to in the last year. Read some of the exciting success stories of our own PNG Home Missionaries... [more]

Bible School Teacher Training - October 2011

PNG Gets New Missionaries! - Sep 2011

We are extremely excited and grateful to have a brand new missionary family in Papua New Guinea.

Their arrival here was not without cost though; on the eve of their departure from Fiji, just as they were going to the airport, they received news that their daughter had passed away after a severe illness.

PNG is glad to have such people of dedication who are willing to dedicate themselves to PNG in spite of great personal loss.... [more]
