This picture was taken while we were out in the town for a week in Madang, PNG for our mission’s annual conference. The sun was warm, the fresh food was in abundance, and most importantly the fellowship and worship was plentiful!
We have since returned to the tribe and yes, things are still difficult; I think that there will always be heavies to deal with. BUT we are encouraged as we see the hand of God moving in his people. We have seen repentance, forgiveness, and a desire to worship, pray, and read God’s Word together. We have seen the believer’s start praying for the ones who have left and encouraging them to return. We have seen 2 believers return to fellowship this week due to the church’s love and prayers! The men and women have started to meet during the week again to pray and review Paul’s words to the Romans which we learn on Sundays. The Tobo church, of their own accord, has even decided to take up offerings to give to those who are in need! It thrills our souls seeing the believers give what little they have and truly sacrificing to help their brothers and sisters in Christ who are in need. That is what the body of Christ is all about!
God will be faithful to complete the work which he started with the Tobo church. He will do it in his time. And we know that whatever he does will be perfect!
