Dear Pastor, Church, & All Supporters:
The following are pictures of the past few reports from December 2024, I have been writing reports in series. Some pictures to help you understand the work.
John 18:36 Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.
The Bible Academy building in Mt. Hagen. Please note, most missionaries, missions, & church denominations (including many of our kind) “think” that the LORD’S work is about great structures, attractive appearances (though there is nothing wrong with this) IF one has the means, however, Christ said His Kingdom was not of this world…. I wonder how many people have been saved (more) taught (better) and equipped (superiorly) because of ‘much money’ flashy buildings’ and in the end, people fight, quarrel, split,
divide, break away, and even take one another to court, over these earthly structures. I have long believed, it is not the structure that counts, it is what is taught (inside) and what the students (take away) from that building. In Malawi I did the same, in PNG this
building is mostly constructed of rough materials. The roof has corrugated sheets (roofing tin), the outside is enclosed with a woven reed, the floor was dirt for a long time, I recently poured a thin concrete floor. This is where the students sit for class eight hours a day, five days a week. You can see that support money is. not being planted in the ground.
The above picture is of the thirty-four students who attended the Bible Academy in Mt. Hagen, PNG. The building is simply but functional.
2 Timothy 2:2 And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.
2 Timothy 3:14 But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;
Students writing Examinations, every two weeks there is an examination given on lessons taught. (2 Timothy 2:15) “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”
The Bible Academy building serves twofold, training centre, & a local church uses it for church service as pictured above.
