[edit] Life

• Tribal fighting and revenge killings still occur, especially in the Highlands. The messy war in Bougainville was badly handled. Corruption in government seriously impaired several administrations in the 1990s. Social dislocation caused by the drift of people to the cities, and unemployment for the educated youth, have led to social problems, including crime and violence. The prevalence of HIV/AIDS is on the rise; some experts fear that Papua New Guinea is heading for a crisis similar to that in sub-Saharan Africa. Pray that the leaders of this land may seek righteousness and the guidance of God in the affairs of their nation.

[edit] Churches

• Leadership training is a priority. Pray for:

Men and women called of God to full-time service as pastors, missionaries, etc. The lure of highly paid secular jobs is strong for those with good education.

Bible teachers who can impart a love of God’s Word to students and the desire to apply its truths to their own cultures.

The provision of mature, articulate Christian leaders who will significantly influence the spiritual life of the nation, and establish the church on biblical foundations.

[edit] Mission

• There are 353 languages still needing Bible translation as well as 299 ongoing projects.

• Praise the Lord for 12 new translators, young men and women, who have joined the Angaatiha translation team. They will participate in the continuation of the translation of the Book of Genesis. Pray for Ainde Wainzo and James Namaranso, experienced translators, as they mentor and train these young people in this work. To see real spiritual hunger in this group is great cause for praise.
