Papua New Guinea: Ten Years of Discipleship ...

Bill Michaud 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.”
