Mibu Ministry: Test

Just gotta test to see how this works out! Attaching a photo of Skyler too.

What we do

We live in a remote location in Papua New Guinea where we work among a small people group called Mibu. Among many other things we are working to translate the bible into their language, teach the bible, and we have developed a literacy program so that the Mibu people can read and write in their own language which previously had never been written.

After having learned the Mibu language and culture, we spent a few months teaching the good news of the Bible. We taught chronologically, starting with creation and ending with the life, death and resurrection of Jesus. In early 2006, when this initial teaching was completed nearly all the Mibu people believed and have very clear testimonies of their faith. They now are growing in their faith as they learn more of what God's word has to say.

The Mibu people were so moved by God's message that they very quickly began to take it to other people and places they know! There have been 8 such outreaches so far!

We continue to focus on getting the Bible translated into their language as well as discipling, or coaching, the Mibus in their faith. Our hope to work ourselves out of a job, seeing the church mature, and with local leaders in place. Through God's grace we're well on our way to seeing that happen!
