Ministry Description

Papua New Guinea is an open door for the Gospel! Neighborhoods, streets, public schools and universities, are some of the countless opportunities to share the Gospel of Christ. However, the youth are constantly confronted with social pressures. The consumption of drugs, alcohol and illegal criminal activities. These are some of the issues that are major causes to destructive lifestyles that are void of God, nor His Word. Question is, "Who will reach this young people?" As a missionary, I am dedicated to my passion and vision to reach the youth of Papua New Guinea! My ministry is focused on reaching youth both within the boundaries of the local church and outside of the boundaries of the local church such as public schools. A systematic doctrinal Bible study is the "core" of my ministry. My ministry begins with the principles of God's Word as my virtue.All Christian service such as evangelism, discipleship and leadership development are all vehicles that will accomplish my vision: It is my passion to intentionally reach the youth of Papua New Guinean and equip them to reach their generation and beyond.". I am excited about what God will do through me!

About Joshua

I trusted Jesus to be my personal Savior at a Word of Life Back-to-School Camp in 2006. Since then, I was introduced to the Word of Life Scriptural based program. I attend a weekly Bible Club program for the year, and begin doing a daily quiet time. These two became the most influencial aspect of my life and faith. The emphasis on discipleship in areas of ministry involvement made my Christian life and faith liveable! My public ministry began as a song leader in our Bible Clubs. I grew in confidence and was soon leading worship at our local church. God also used other means to prepare me. I was often asked to travel on mission trips with my missionary, and get the feel for missions. I often travel alone on behalf of the missionary. God has used those early experiences to show me His future will for my life in such a dramatic fasion!
I believe that the study of God's Word is the key to helping the youth establish their lives on the Biblical Principles of God's Word.I am retuning as a missionary to partner with existing Local Churches of like-faith in every major towns within Papua New Guinea with a passion and vision to evangelize and disciple young Papua New Guineans. I am a young Papua New Guinean dedicated to reach young Papua New Guinea whose culture constantly change with the Word of God that never changes.

About Brenda

Hi! My Name is Brenda.
I grew up in polygamous family. My dad had multiple wives including my mom. Even though my family professed to be adherents of Seventh-Day Adventist Church, I was far from understanding what true salvation in Christ really means. My parents didn't live together because of my dad's lifestyle, and I spent most of growing with my mom. Even though my mom had all the reason to get divorced due to her challenging marriage circumstance, she chose instead to remain as my father's third wife. Life was tough for her as a single-parent mom. In her quest for answers, one day my mom attended a gospel event hosted by a Baptist church and their trusted Christ as her personal Savior. Her new-found brought some change into her life and our home. We begin attending service at Repentance Baptist Church. As a teen, I begin attending youth meetings and churches services. It was during one Christmas Service at Repentance Baptist when I heard the gospel message and trusted Christ as my Savior. After High School in 2014, my mom encouraged me to attended Goroka Baptist Bible College (ABWE College) to study Bible and major in Christian Education. During my years as a student at Goroka Baptist Bible College, I met my husband Joshua, and we got married after my four years and final year of college. The Lord has blessed us with two children (Josiah and Evangeline). Truely I can say with Aposlte, "By the grace of God, I am what I am (1 Cor. 15:10)." Even though I come from a broken and polygamous family, only by the grace of Almighty God, He saved me and gave me my very own family in Christ with beautiful children and a loving Christian. My heart will forever praise my Savior and God!
Since 2021, I have been serving alongside my husband as a full-time missionary with Word of Life in our home country, Papua New Guinea. I enjoy sharing the Word at youth camps to teenagers and encouraging them to grow in their walk with Christ, to pursue a godly Christian relationship, and to marry God's way and be productive members of their Local Church. I love my family, our ministry, and I thank God for counting me faithful, putting me into the ministry (1 Tim.1:12). Thank you!

Mark 5:19 KJV Howbeit Jesus suffered him not, but saith unto him, Go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee.
