Bill and Karen Michaud work with national church leaders in Papua New Guinea in the area of church development. Bill visited the Hamtai leaders in August. Right after visiting with the Hamtai church, Bill also attended a week of fellowship between the Pawaian and Gimi churches — two people groups who have been growing closer together as the Gimi church leaders have discipled the Pawaian believers for 10 years. During this celebration, “the responsibility for leading the 12 Pawaian churches was transferred from the Gimi men to the Pawaian men. … Keep the groups in your prayers for the Pawaians to be faithful and for the Gimis as they have already identified another group that needs to be discipled.”
