PNG for Christ has achieved a remarkable feat by stopping a long-running and violent conflict between two hostile communities. There are stories of two communities at war, not a war of words, but a war with blades, big blades and bullets. These groups, who had lived on opposite sides of the road, were engaged in brutal skirmishes, resulting in 38 deaths. When our missionary pastor arrived to preach, both local residents and mission attendees were understandably uneasy.
Yet, on the final night of the meetings, something extraordinary happened. The leaders of both warring communities approached the pastor and requested reconciliation—not just for themselves, but for their entire communities. This powerful moment is a testament to how the Bible can truly transform lives and bring about profound change.
