In Papua New Guinea, pioneer missionaries have been going to great lengths to share the Good News. A team of 10 EHC workers recently set out for the remote district of Bialla, where communication with the outside world is completely cut off.For three months, they travelled and ministered without any contact with the EHC office in PNG. They hiked on foot, crossing rivers and climbing mountains with boxes full of gospel literature.
It was impractical to carry enough food for three months of ministry, so they lived off the land, sometimes receiving meals from friendly villagers, but many times fasting simply because there was nothing to eat.
“We encountered a great hunger for the Word of God in this district,” the team reports. Many people are learning to read and when they receive the Good News, they are eager to share it with others.”
