Great Things are Taking Place on the Sandaun District, PNG!

First, let me give you a little brief history of the Sandaun district.   The Sandaun district, basically, is a remote district that is divided in two by a large mountain range.    It is located on the North Coast of PNG up near the border of Indonesia.   So in a sense half of the district is coastal while the other half is inland and bush with the mountain range in the middle.    It is very hard for the DS to get to all of the district because of the remoteness of the district.   Because of this the district has struggled through the years.   Three years ago one of our Generals was on the Sandaun district and greatly challenged them.  Challenging them that it was time to move ahead, that it was time for the district to grow.   Since then they have taken to heart the challenge presented to them.   In that three years 10 ordination candidates have been ordained and there will be another this year.   The unity of the district has greatly solidified.   For all of this we praise the Lord and are grateful for the leadership of the district.    Below, is the latest report from Sandaun.

District Secretary for the Sandaun District, Ps. Peter Weiyip, sent along a wonderful report of how God has been working on the Sandaun district.   Encouraging reports are wonderful and greatly appreciated!

"Hello Brother Jeff Myers,

I would like to inform you that Sandaun District is having a very wonderful time this year 2018 because of 46 people got baptised and 56 renewed their Christian life. This includes men and women. 

Witwaunek Local Church Children’s Ministry Crusade 11 people got baptised there.

This brings the total up to 46 people baptised so far just in June and July 2018.

Elkei Circuit NYI Crusade 46 Christians renewed their Christian life at the Altar call each night. Tuesday Night = 19. Wednesday Night = 17 & Thursday Night = 20, this brings the total to 56. The Theme for this crusade was; “Preparing Emerging Godly Leaders.” Joshua Chapter 1.
