Mission Work Report From Vanimo, Sundaun Province. By: Pr Luet Moyo

MINISTRY WORK UPDATES NEWS LETTER FOR EULUP AND AMOI EVANGELISTIC PROGRAMS, W.S.P--PNG.

“Those who have been most successful in soul-winning were men and women who did not pride themselves on their ability, but who in humility and faith sought to help those about them. Jesus did this very work. He came close to those whom He desired to reach”.--Gospel Workers, p. 194. {ChS 117.3}

“Those who are in pursuit of earthly riches are watching constantly and sharply their opportunities of gaining their desired object; and workers for Christ should be no less earnest in winning souls to Him. They may be colaborers with Christ if they, by imitating Christ's example, do good to all brought within the sphere of their influence”. {CSW 70.3}

Reward of Soul Winning.—“A rich reward will be given to the true workers, who put all there is of them into the work. There is no greater bliss on this side of heaven than in winning souls to Christ. Joy fills the heart as the workers realize that this great miracle could never have been wrought by human agencies, but only through the One who loves souls ready to perish. The divine presence is close beside every true worker, making souls penitent. Thus the Christian brotherhood is formed. The worker and those worked for are touched with the love of Christ. Heart touches heart, and the blending of soul with soul is like the heavenly intercourse between ministering angels”.--Manuscript 36, 1901. {Ev 333.3}

Saving souls to Jesus is God given task to each of us who see Jesus as their personal savior and life giver rather than wealth and fames in riches of earthly gifts and honors. What was the answer by twelve disciples of Jesus when he called them from their daily living to follow him and how did they compared Jesus calling with their very life where they in it?

John 6;67. Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away?

68. Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.

69. And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God.

70. Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil?

When Jesus saw Peter, James, and John in their fishing boat, Jesus said to them, “‘Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.’ They immediately left their nets and followed Him.” Matthew 4:19, 20

Luke 5:11. And when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook all, and followed him.

EULUP EVANGELISTIC MEETING, APRIL 21ST – 27TH /2024.

It was very interesting trip to search for the perishing souls that are in sin and deceptions to bring them back to Jesus the light of the world indeed on his pure light of truth. Eulup village is located far in the jungle near Indonesia border and some kilometers away from the road excess and it would takes you four to five hours to reached there and their main road to excess their living like clothing and other needs from the town is big river Bulan which has many corners with different experiences all together. They live with wild beasts and full of heathen customs and are practicing cult and spiritualism with sorceries. That community was dominated by pure catholic and there’s no single different faiths there but both our young active missionaries Ben Lemek and Sendrick was fearlessly made first visit by having bible studies with them as underground work and then they accepted our invitation for the long week program. Mainstreams SDA’s many times tried to reach them but was fear to encounter by both physical and spiritual dangers.

“With fire and tempest, earthquake and death, the great I AM redeemed His people. He took them out of the land of bondage. He led them through the "great and terrible wilderness, wherein were fiery serpents, and scorpions, and drought." Deuteronomy 8:15. He brought them forth water out of "the rock of flint," and fed them with "the corn of heaven." Psalm 78:24. "For," said Moses, "the Lord's portion is His people; Jacob is the lot of His inheritance. He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; He led him about, He instructed him, He kept him as the apple of His eye. As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings: so the Lord alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with him." Deuteronomy 32:9-12. Thus He brought them unto Himself, that they might dwell as under the shadow of the Most High”. {COL 286.4}

“Christ was the leader of the children of Israel in their wilderness wanderings. Enshrouded in the pillar of cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night, He led and guided them. He preserved them from the perils of the wilderness, He brought them into the land of promise, and in the sight of all the nations that acknowledged not God He established Israel as His own chosen possession, the Lord's vineyard”. {COL 287.1}

Satan has totally blinded the Eulup people and although the unlikeness fills their hearts but by God’s grace we arrived there with full evangelism gears to give a loud cry message amidst of hateful and unclean birds (Rev 18:2), to declared God’s glory among God’s people regardless of negatives and evil will encounter us. We go with our foods although its distance but we prepared ourselves in advanced because of the situation there.

On our arrival few were excited because of we bring generator and the equipment’s too so they are thinking of watching videos eagerly came and assisted us to quickly put up the small grandstand or pulpit for to preach. We were not welcomed formally and houses were not allowed also so we slept anyhow by stretching our mosquito nets and small tents to search for the souls that are lost in the great jungle of forests which typifying their lostness or looseness in jungle of sin and destruction by harboring idols practices and heathen teachings in their hearts, in the place of biblical teachings.

Immediately the meeting commenced and the theme for the week was “LOOKING UNTO JESUS THE AUTHOR AND FINISHER OF OUR FAITH”, key texts; Hebrews 12:2, John 14:6, Acts 16:31, John 5:39. Morning thoughts were took by our laymen boys and I took the night the studies by via PowerPoint presentations creates interests and eagerness in them and earnestly every nights they packed at program sites to hear God’s lovely voice from his inspired word that came out clearly without doubt and disputing the messages as drilling machines penetrates the stony hearts thus it gets melting as we goes along with the presentations. On Wednesday we see that they started to talk nicely and likely to us and by assisting us with foods and were cooperating with us in discussions and all involvements during our staying there.

John 12:32. And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all [men] unto me…….the truth that is in Jesus if presented before his people they will appreciated and accepted the lifesaving message without doubt and hesitation.

Highlights;

Very incredible to my observation that without knowing that on Friday a day of preparation the Catholics were also prepared for the Sabbath when heard that we are doing preparation for the Sabbath because in it we will not do any work, its God’s sanctified day of rest. As they were seriously involved in the Sabbath preparation led them up to Sabbath worshipped and to our surprised many young youths and chiefs of the community who are their catechists were happily enjoyed the Sabbath fellowshipped. During the presentations they heard clearly distinction between Sabbath and Sunday worships so thus the Holy Spirit impressed and moved greatly upon their hearts to making them submit to the truth of God.

Highlights;

Those that did not come on an open air and worshipped with us were all at home and responding to the message and after Sabbath service they all came and we had Sabbath lunch together and they said that you keep Sabbath in our community so we all did not go out for our physical work and activities but keep Sabbath in the house.

Two catechists made good comment that we only hear the birds singing also not knowing what is happening around us and although government services has not reached us but thank God for bringing you here and help us to know the true way of worship and we invited you again.

They all agreed and gave us piece of land and asked us to come again for second program to put up the shelter for worship. Many happily received the message and made their stand for the truth. God is bringing his children into the fold of truth because the Sabbath light is one of the point of test that god’s people will be tested in this last days.

Early at 6am in the morning we left eulup village and take a walk back with our evangeislm gears. we have faithful mothers and youths even childrens who are capable were on board for the soul saving mission.

AMOI EVANGELISTIC MEETING, 12TH – 18TH MAY 2024.

Amoi was another challenging week long program was held amidst of catholic and Mainstream Adventist churches after the PNG FOR CHRIST programs hosted by PNG conference SDA’s all-around entire PNG for two weeks during the visit of GC president Ted Wilson. On Sunday evening our evangelistic campaign was started immediately when PNG FOR CHRIST program has ended on Sabbath evening. Here in Bewani people were complaining and murmuring about present truth and last day event messages to be heard in the PNG FOR CHRIST crusades but all presentation was peace and safety, although people were spent money from far distance came to hear the end time prophetic message but none to feed them to satisfied them so during their camp of two Sabbaths many left and came and worshiped with us in the church and were blessed and thus exchanged their contacts with me to arrange the programs for me to be conduct in their villages.

Soul were indeed very hungry to hear the final warning message and it was right timing we started our program more than thirty (30) minutes’ walk away from Bewani station where the two week crusade been hosted. And the crowds were packed each night to hear the final events are happening all around us according to the bible prophecies, our theme was “PREPARE TO MEET THY LORD”, (Amos 4:12), and first night topic was “WATCHMEN WHAT OF THE NIGHT” (Isaiah 21:11-12). Thus it shook whole community and different faiths there attended to hear God’s final call. On Wednesday night I took the study about ABOMINTION OF DESOLATION and mainly emphasized on the ECUMENISM by which the whole world is drown into with the wine of BABYLON and are confederate towards the ONE WOLRD GOVERNMENT and RELIGION are ready to pay homage to the Beast (PAPACY), basing my study on Revelation 17, 13, Daniel 7:7-8, 25, 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4,7.

Throughout the long week message brought people in the valley of decisions and we thank God that in Friday night after the night study and on Sabbath many people made their stand for the Lord and his truth. Some of them were baptized in the PNG FOR CHRIST program came and show me about their baptismal certificates pasted with upside down cross the new logo of Adventist were left and would like to uphold the original bloodstained banner of Prince Emmanuel the THREE ANGEL MESSAGE BANEER.

HIGHLIGHTS.

Many souls were atended the sabbath service on an open air and many took their stand for the truth despite of family relationships and anything may come or men may say and I made the prayer of dedication on them.

Some of them were catholic members too, so the leaders of the two churches; mainstream SDA church an d catholic were not happy so I am not really sure maybe both might be agreed to arrest me so the catholic church has reported to the police and summonsed me to be appear on court at police station to explain Revelation 17, they said. They also say that in my preaching I commented that the Pope is sitting on the scarlet colored beast. Some sorts of information they mixed it up to falsely accused me but anywhere I was happy to meet and deserved any penalty if comes on my way for the truth sake. Thus I arrived at police station and wait until catholic finished from the churches fellowshipped on Sunday that was market day too so people from far and near came at district station for their buying and selling were surprised to see that the catholic church members shouted on me harshly and approaching me.

I patiently stood still looking to them to response if they question me or would like me to speak, but all of a sudden not more than 3 minutes mainstream SDA’s took over the case and started pointing finger on my face and harshly accusing me that I am not a formal graduate theologian from the literal bible institution and are not worthy to preach the word of God, with evil accusation spoiled my reputation and the ministry work as well.

Bible says they will bring you before the Rulers and magistrates to punish you and kill you for my name sake.

They wanted to arrest and locked me inside the jail and I told them on the public that I will not stop preaching what is written in the bible and the ward councilor his name Tom Sebi is also an Adventist shouted over me saying, stop, stop!, stop!, you are not recognized by the General Conference SDA mission and and you don’t have formal certificate as pastor so they putting the point of order that I should leave the field and go, he said, if I go beyond the limit.

Then I told them that Jesus was asked by the priest and elders with same question in (Mathew 21:23. And when he was come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came unto him as he was teaching, and said, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority?), so I will not leave this field because I’ve sent to here for the soul saving and I know what will come on my way and where I am heading forward so if you can do what you can do but as for me I will continue to preach the bible and bible along despite of anything, I will fear God rather than man and the general conference structure.

Then all the elders of the church and the members were very angry when heard these and started swinging hands on me and would like to punching me and start swearing me with evil words and the fight broke out and all the none believers and drug addicts were on my side and defending me and the crowd shouted and said now we can see the persecution is started on those who preaching the truth.

And also said that catholic and mainstream SDA’s who under the flame and cross logo are now combine to persecute the SDA’s under the Three Angel Message Banner as did in Jesus days. Jewish church leaders and the Pagan Rome joined hands together to persecute Jesus and the disciples for the truth sake. The fight was continued at three different locations on that very day from 10 am to 2pm, and now because of this event put the clear view of the truth into the minds of people that who are those preaching the present truth saving message of the three angel ‘s message while others are lowering the message and its significant.

Calls are demanding to know about the prophesies related to these last days but because of the tenses is still high so we postponed all 2nd quarter evangelism programs and meetings to 3rd quarter and during three remaining weeks are now busy with the fundraising and garden preparation for the Sepik Mission Mini Loud cry camp will be hosted by Sandaun mission in September in which many people will be attended and be follow with baptisms.

“In all ages God's appointed witnesses have exposed themselves to reproach and persecution for the truth's sake. Joseph was maligned and persecuted because he preserved his virtue and integrity. David, the chosen messenger of God, was hunted like a beast of prey by his enemies. Daniel was cast into a den of lions because he was true to his allegiance to heaven. Job was deprived of his worldly possessions, and so afflicted in body that he was abhorred by his relatives, and friends; yet he maintained his integrity. Jeremiah could not be deterred from speaking the words that God had given him to speak; and his testimony so enraged the king and princes that he was cast into a loathsome pit. Stephen was stoned because he preached Christ and Him crucified. Paul was imprisoned, beaten with rods, stoned, and finally put to death because he was a faithful messenger for God to the Gentiles. And John was banished to the Isle of Patmos "for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ." {AA 575.1}

“These examples of human steadfastness bear witness to the faithfulness of God's promises--of His abiding presence and sustaining grace. They testify to the power of faith to withstand the powers of the world. It is the work of faith to rest in God in the darkest hour, to feel, however sorely tried and tempest-tossed, that our Father is at the helm. The eye of faith alone can look beyond the things of time to estimate aright the worth of the eternal riches”. {AA 575.2}

God will not leave us along as we are on the soul saving mission, the promised is here, and “I will be with you even unto the end of the world”. I would like to thank God for those of you are entirely surrendering for his service. God has chosen you to act a part in the finishing of the work, thank you for your time and efforts in terms of funds, literatures, leaflets, books and one way or the other to pushing the work to reach souls where they are to saved them. Keep doing it because soon we will cease from printing books and sending out, transferring gospel funds , withdrawal or deposits for the evangelism and bible workers supports however as we approaching the CDBC systems TITHES & OFFERINGS will have no value at all in the work of God.

Romans 9:28.” For he (God) will finish the work, and cut [it] short in righteousness: (LATER RAIN) because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth”.

We are looking forward to purchase CANVAS for two areas to shelter our new interest souls from cold and sun hit for temporal time while preparing bush materials for the home church shelter. We need your prayers and support in the Lord’s vineyard for the furtherance of his work.

May the Lord bless you all as you keep yourself faithful stewards unto the Lord in the lot you have chosen, great is your reward.

Christian Regards,

Mission news From Nondri Village, Bomai Forest.

Nondri is the third out of ten most isolated villages in the Bomai forest we have reached to present the third angel message. First village was Yobamorua and second, Nuku. All ten villages in the Bomai forest were dominated by the Catholics. When we first reached Yobamorua and Nuku, their only Catholic churches were shut down and all images, crosses and relics were burnt down and the congregation were shifted to the truth. The news reached Nondri Catholic Paris and they were looking for an opportunity to attack us and this opportunity was right on time last week (18th -24th February 2024), the week of evangelistic meeting. On the first opening night the devoted catholic church leaders in the community attempted to attack us but we praise God for His intervention to calm the situation. Out of this whole catholic village only one young boy Simon accepted the sabbath truth and invited us to come and conduct this meeting, he received much pressure but he was also the warrior in the community therefore, the catholic congregation feared him so much that they did not attack us.

When we the Simbu evangelism team received the invitation from Brother Simon to conduct an evangelistic meeting at Nondri, even though its a one-week notice, we responded in haste and travel there on Sunday the 18th day of February 2024 with full set PA system, laptop, and projector, and started the meeting on the same night and ended successfully on the Sabbath without interruptions. Brother Moses Yauma took the night study via power point presentation on the theme “At the Border of Eternity” and other workers took the morning devotions. We praise God for His miraculous working because many devoted Catholics commend the third angel messages sown in their village. On the sabbath some brave catholic congregations join us for sabbath fellowship. This is the indication of the acceptance of the truth and we praise God for this.

Brother Simon has given a small portion of his land to build the church but he will be under much pressure at this infant stage so let us unite our prayers for him so that God will give him courage and strength to fulfil his conviction. Thank you for your support and prayers for the work of God in Simbu Province and Papua New Guinea to keep moving.

We praise God that He gave us this mountainous forest as our mission field, we find joy in doing God’s work in such a remote place and our joy will increase if God opens doors for us to reach the other villages also.

Praise the Lord!

Moses Yauma

December Camp Meeting - 2023

Warm Christian Greetings in Christ name!

The Seventh-day Adventist Laymen church in Papua New Guinea recently hosted a memorable camp meeting right in the heart of Lae city, Morobe province, spanning from the 10th to the 17th of December 2023. This significant event served as a unifying occasion, bringing together believers of all ages, from infants to the elderly, representing each of the twenty-two (22) provinces. The attendees undertook diverse modes of transportation, including sea, air, and road, to converge at this spiritual gathering.

Beyond being a mere gathering, this camp meeting was a divine opportunity for believers to fortify their bonds with one another and, most significantly, to deepen and strengthen connection with their Saviour. It was a time when attendees were strengthened to confront the challenges that lay ahead on their spiritual journeys.

Each night, informative presentations unfolded through PowerPoint, complemented by morning devotions and various other sessions that enriched their spiritual experiences. The air resonated with the harmonious melodies of different singing groups, uplifting the collective spirit of the congregation. Enthusiastic attendees from the Bumbu settlement flocked in large numbers to partake in the enlightening night sermon presentations.

The pinnacle of the gathering occurred on the Sabbath, a sacred day where sixteen (16) souls embraced their faith in Jesus and were baptized. Additionally, the dedication of local church leaders took place, underscoring their commitment to spiritual leadership within the church. The entire camp proved to be a blessed and transformative experience for all who attended.

As the camp meeting ended successfully, the participants, now spiritually invigorated, departed to their respective provinces. The echoes of the shared spiritual journey lingered, leaving a lasting impact on the hearts and minds of those who had been part of this remarkable event.

Thank you so much for your prayers and support to the work of God in Papua New Guinea. Your prayers come a long way to keep the work of God moving and daily souls were converted and added into the faith.

Warm Christian Greetings!

Three Angel banner billboard unveiling at Wewak town in East Sepik Province - PNG! September 2023

A company was presented before me under the name of Seventh-day Adventists, who were advising that the banner or sign which makes us a distinctive people should not be held out so strikingly; for they claimed it was not the best policy in securing success to our institutions. This distinctive banner is to be borne through the world to the close of probation. In describing the remnant people of God, John says, "Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus" (Revelation 14:12). This is the law and the gospel. The world and the churches are uniting in harmony in transgressing the law of God, in tearing away God's memorial, and in exalting a sabbath that bears the signature of the man of sin. But the Sabbath of the Lord thy God is to be a sign to show the difference between the obedient and the disobedient. I saw some reaching out their hands to remove the banner, and to obscure its significance. . . . {2SM 385.2}

The Distinctive Identity

The Three Angels' Logo is a distinctive symbol associated with Seventh-day Adventist beliefs and practices. The act of upholding and unveiling the Three Angels' Banner in Papua New Guinea stands as a poignant testament to our unwavering commitment to preserve and uphold the historic beliefs of the Seventh-day Adventist faith without the infusion of new light. This symbolic gesture represents our dedication to the timeless truths encapsulated in the messages of the three angels as outlined in Revelation 14:6-12. By choosing to display this emblem, we declare our allegiance to the foundational doctrines that have shaped the identity of Adventists globally. In a world marked by evolving ideologies, the unfurling of the Three Angels' Banner in Papua New Guinea serves as a resolute stand to guard and maintain the purity of the Adventist message, emphasizing our adherence to the original teachings that distinguish us as a people of God on Earth. It is a visual affirmation of our commitment to the unchanging truths that define our faith and guide our spiritual journey. Here are some key facts about this significant emblem:

Biblical Foundation:

The Three Angels' Logo is rooted in the biblical narrative found in the book of Revelation, specifically in Revelation 14:6-12. These verses describe three angels delivering messages to the world, each with a unique proclamation.

Symbolic Messages:

Each of the three angels in the logo represents a distinct message or phase of Adventist beliefs. The First Angel's message calls people to worship God as the Creator (Revelation 14:7). The Second Angel's message warns against the worship of the beast and its image, highlighting the importance of remaining faithful to God's commandments (Revelation 14:8).

The Third Angel's message warns against receiving the mark of the beast and emphasizes the call to endure in faith and obedience (Revelation 14:9-12).

Historical Context:

The Three Angels' Logo has its origins in the early history of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. It was adopted as a symbol to visually represent the distinctive messages and beliefs that set the Adventist movement apart.

Doctrinal Emphasis:

The logo serves as a visual representation of fundamental Adventist doctrines, including the Sabbath as a day of worship, adherence to the Ten Commandments, and a focus on end-time events and prophecies.

Evangelistic Tool:

The Three Angels' Logo is often used as an evangelistic tool to communicate key Adventist teachings in a concise and recognizable manner. It serves as a visual summary of the core messages that Seventh-day Adventists seek to share with the world.

Global Recognition:

Over the years, the Three Angels' Logo has become globally recognized within the Seventh-day Adventist community. It is prominently displayed in churches, publications, and various media as a unifying symbol of shared beliefs.

Educational Significance:

The logo is frequently used in educational settings to teach and reinforce Adventist doctrines, providing a visual aid for members and newcomers to understand the distinctive theological positions of the Seventh-day Adventist Church.

Unity and Identity:

The Three Angels' Logo contributes to a sense of unity and shared identity among Seventh-day Adventists worldwide. It visually connects individuals within the faith community, fostering a collective understanding of their unique mission and beliefs.

We conclude that, the Three Angels' Logo is a symbolic representation deeply embedded in the Seventh-day Adventist identity, encapsulating key biblical messages and doctrinal emphases that define the beliefs and practices of the Adventist faith. By displaying, we affirm our commitment to uphold the historic Adventist beliefs and practices.

God Bless!
