A look at the very neatly cultivated gardens. This is how the
vast majority of people in PNG live, by the food they grow. |

| DS Peni, giving his report. |
The District Assembly season is underway in Papua New Guinea. Yesterday we kicked off the district assemblies with an MAF (Mission Aviation Fellowship) flight into the mountains of PNG. This year on the Middle Ramu District 11 ordination candidates were waiting to be ordained by our General Superintendent Jesse Middendorf. We had a great time of fellowshiping and worshiping with our precious brothers and sisters in Christ of the Middle Ramu district. Samoan missionary, Peni Fakaua, has been the DS for the last 5 years and has aggressively been providing ministerial education, through the EBS (Extension Bible School) program for the pastors of his district. Many of these pastors walk in, taking 2 or 3 days to make the trip, to attend these educational classes every 6 weeks. Peni's DS report to General Middendorf, was an exciting report of how God has been working on the MRD! Since Peni has started the EBS program the district has graduated 52 student from the program. The MRD has 58 churches, 100% of those churches are pastored by district licensed or Ordained Elders. They have 13 preaching points (new churches), this year the added 319 new members for a district total of 4355 members on the Middle Ramu district. Also, at this district assembly Rev. Sivas Jambal was appointed as the new district superintendent of the Middle Ramu district. Please be in prayer for Rev. Sivas and his wife Sinda as they lead the district forward in reaching the lost for Christ! Also a part of this district assembly was the privilege of seeing 11 candidates answering God's call on their lives as they were ordained by General Middendorf, becoming Elders in the Church of the Nazarene. Please pray for the 17 districts that make up the Melanesian & South Pacific Fields.
