Papua New Guinea: Pray for New Believers Among the Malaumanda

“The Bible teachers have been going through the Creation to Christ teaching with the students that are in the local school, and after the gospel presentation, 61 elementary students gave a profession of faith in Jesus. Some of these kids are from our village, but many are from other villages where the gospel has not been welcome. Praise the Lord!” Pray that this will open the door to other villages. Pray for missionaries to go to these other villages. Pray for these elementary students to have opportunities to grow in the Word and in their walk with the Lord.

First Lord’s Supper and First Baptisms in Elsengg

Carolyn, serving remotely, ministers to the Elsengg people of Asia Pacific. This Maundy Thursday, as we remember Jesus’ Last Supper with His disciples (maybe you are observing the Lord’s Supper and remembering Christ’s divine sacrifice today), it is fitting that we praise God that this month “the [Elsengg] believers celebrated the Lord’s Supper for the first time.” And by the time you read this, Lord willing, the Elsengg church will have had its first baptisms too. As Carolyn and Elsengg believer Bop write Bible lessons, “it has been such a joy to see the Holy Spirit enlightening Bop’s mind to understand New Testament truths,” and the church is learning these truths too — namely that “Jesus was the final sacrifice who perfectly pleases God forever and ever!” Praise God for this truth.

The accounts of the Last Supper can be found in Matthew 26, Mark 14, Luke 22 and John 13.
