Today's Meeting

Tuesday is an important day for the future of the ministry among the Mesem. While we can never know God's reasons for allowing specific things to occur, we do see how God has used challenges to redirect and to bring together the Mesem in a way that previous has no occurred. Jerry Jacob, the area director for Oceania in AGWM, will be with Neil and Giegere Wenge, Director of Education for the Lutheran Seminary and a long time friend, as the three travel to Hobu to address the ministry of Bible translation and Bible teaching among the Mesem. They are "wanbel" as is said in PNG: they are of one heart and one mind concerning the Lord Jesus and the ministry in which we are working.

The Mesem area has traditionally had just one church, which is Lutheran. More recently, Mesem speakers who have moved to town have joined Assembly of God churches. This has caused friction due mostly to different "misunderstandings" of the gospel. To see the leadership of the two churches stand together in prayer for the Mesem, for us, and for the translation of the New Testament and the continuation of the Bible Correspondence Program is a powerful statement.

Please join us in prayer that all that occurs, brings glory to Jesus.
