Papua New Guinea: Church Planter
Opportunities
Papua New Guinea is a beautiful country rich in resources but steeped in darkness. People are held captive by traditional beliefs, animistic customs, and other evils. The Papua New Guineans see it, and they want change. They look to their leaders, politicians, education and many other things to improve their communities, but what they really need is Jesus. He is the only one who can transform people, families, and communities. They need someone to take Jesus to them and help them establish their own biblical churches in their communities that will not compromise and add in traditional cultural beliefs into their church.
