Thank You and 2024
Dear Partners in the Ministry,
We want to thank you for your prayers and support for the work God is doing in PNG. God is working! We need your continued prayers & support. Pray as we try to balance the upgrades with the present ministry and that we are able to upgrade the right thing at the right time.
Our Ministry is Church PLANTING through Theological Education & Medical Evangelism.
Theological Education -, …the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also. (2 Timothy 2:2) www.gbbc.ac.pg
Clinic - Medical Evangelism-People don’t CARE what you KNOW until they KNOW that you CARE! (President Theodore Roosevelt)
Baby Ministry - Compassionate Evangelism and Discipleship-Reaching Families and Communities with the GOSPEL through Caring for the Little Ones. Seeing them saved, discipled and active in Bible Believing churches
Thirty Five years ago we joined ABWE as Church planting missionaries to start churches that could reproduce and effectively reach their Communities for Christ. We now see fruit, Praise the LORD! Now we are becoming more active in not only doing ministry but training Papua New Guineans to pick up the mantle and carry it forward.
Your partnership has been priceless. WE want to say in so many ways thank for laboring with us through Prayer and support in so many ways.
New clinic - Funds are here, building permit is in hand. We will be buying supplies in December with the goal of building the new clinic and training center in 2024. We want to reach more people with medical evangelism & train he next generation of clinic workers. Please pray for the operational needs of the clinic. About $200,000 a year to run the clinic.
