The Mission Field of Papua New Guinea
The island country of Papua New Guinea yields a myriad of sights and experiences. Hundreds of different language groups exist in this remote corner of the world, and many of these have not yet been reached with the Gospel. Overland travel is often difficult, and at times, impossible. Isolated by distance and geography, some tribes may only be reached by trekking through dense jungle or by air. Tribes are asking for someone to come and teach them God’s Word. Daily, souls enter eternity without ever hearing that Christ died for them.

Jack Naudi (my language helper) and I went for a walk to see some villages to our north on Monday, July 6. On the way, we met this old lady (Nkiru—pronounced “n-key-due”) sitting on the side of the trail. I greeted her in the Kamea language, and she lit up (having one of the white people talk to you is a treat for the older folks).
