Our morning started off with group devotions, Josiah spoke on "our confidence need to be in God".    Just as we were leaving for the first school Bro  Brooks spoke to a school principal that was staying in Mapang and he told us that someone had burned down the boys dormatory and we're threatening to burn down the girls so they have cancelled school today.  This is PNG plans often change so we went to plan 2 a secondary school about 2 hours away.  But that school was also not able to do it today so we went to another school about 1/2 hour further.  We had a great time we sang Cameron and Ob gave their testimonies and Bro Brooks preached.  

 When we finished that school Bro Homes wanted to take us to the place that the first missionary came to PNG, James Chalmers back in the late 1800's.   From there we went to the beach area and looked for sea shells and coral on the beach.  It was there that one of the men from the area came to see what we were doing.  After some conversation I asked him if he died today would he go to heaven or hell? He said probably hell.  

  I went through the plan of salvation and he said that nobody had ever told him that before.  I asked him if he would like to receive Jesus as his personal saviour and he said yes. We both knelt on the beach and he prayed and asked Jesus to save him.   I then gave him a Bible and tried connnecting him with Bro Homes.  

 We then went to the market place and did some singing and preaching, also Joe and Calen gave their testimonies.  1 person lifted their hand for salvation.  

  From there we went back to the church, we played volleyball for a while, then went for supper and back to Mapang.  

  It was a great day, glad to be back a little earlier, hopefully get more sleep.  

I think now that it is over that the guys are starting to get anxious to get back home.  We look forward to telling you more about it when we get back.  

Not sure what all the plans are for tomorrow but I know Pastor Homes has a surprise for the boys at the church. Should be fun.  

God Bless
Bro Wiebe

PNG Time

This morning started in the usual PNG way, the 4 that were supposed to go to the school up in the mountains waited for a couple hours then found out that the road was too bad and could not go.    We did a little shopping and then after lunch went to the Catholic school.  The school was quite large, we handed out about 850 Bibles.  We did our usual intruductions, both Ob and Joe gave their testimonies. Pastor Hunter preached a clear gospel message. If there was one thing that was clear it was "you Can know right now that you are going to heaven" the kids were very receptive and listened well. After that we came back.    The boys went swimming for a while in the ocean, we then had supper and then off to church.  We went to Bro Neilish church and Brother Hunter came with his church to join us. We also had some first time visitors.     We sang there and Bro Brooks preached.  We had some fellowship and  came back. ...
