The Papuans are an incredibly family-oriented people. Here, almost everything is done together — bride price negotiations, funerals, shopping, traveling… Several generations live under one roof, work side by side. If someone gets sick, it becomes the concern of the entire clan, not just the closest relatives.
And no matter how individualistic we “white people” might be, there is so much we can learn from these seemingly simple people. True ministry is impossible to carry alone. You need a team — people with the same vision, the same goals, the same fire in their hearts. People who will carry the ministry forward and grow it beyond anything you could have imagined.
We are so grateful to the Lord for giving us such a team — dedicated ministers who labor with us to spread the Kingdom of God. One mountain at a time, even into places where our feet have not yet stepped.
In just the past two months, the Lord has blessed the opening of two more Promise Land churches in remote villages. Families of ministers have already moved there for long-term living and ministry.
With love and faith,
Ministry in ONG – Eugene and Ira Konstantiniki
