“Let the children come to me. Don’t stop them! For the Kingdom of God belongs to those who are like these children." Mark 10:14 (NLT)
Dear Friends and Family,
Thank YOU for being a very important part of our ministry team through encouragement, prayer and by partnering with us financially. Each month we are humbled by your generosity and your faithfulness and we realize it is only by God’s grace that we can serve here in Papua New Guinea (PNG).
In January, I (Johanna) had the joy of participating in the Tok Pisin Holiday Bible School (VBS). I was a part of the Praise and Worship team. About 600 children from all over Aiyura Valley attended the five day event. The theme of the week was the “Armor of God”, which was taken from Ephesians 6:11-18. Bible lessons each day highlighted a different aspect of the verses. Many of the children memorized the entire Scripture section. Besides the Bible lesson, the program included times of enthusiastic singing, and the children were fascinated by the puppet and drama teams. Over seventy children talked to teachers specifically about salvation or their spiritual growth.
Kassia was able to participate in the Tok Pisin Holiday Bible School and Lukas and Matthias watched the singing, puppets, and Bible lesson.
In His hands,
Johanna (for Kurt, Kassia, Lukas, and Matthias)
