New Maliyali Believers are Rejoicing in Papua New Guinea

Chad and Martha Earl minister among the Maliyali people of Papua New Guinea. “Christ's light has dawned in Maliyali, and new believers are rejoicing. Their joy is contagious! I just finished telling a friend what joy we get from hearing of their happiness found in Christ! She wanted to sit with me and ask questions about God's Word. At the end she said, ‘I used to think I was good and that I wouldn't go to hell. I tried to be happy ... but my happiness was empty of taste — I was sitting in darkness. But now I see God's True Words, and my happiness is ON TOP! I'm so thankful for you guys bringing God's talk.’ Wow! Humbling. I told her, ‘We were all so scared and wondering “What is God going to do? Will you guys believe Him? Will you understand this talk?” Our faith was so small! Now we are the ones who have big happiness! We received joy when He brought us back to Himself, and now we have even more joy watching HIS light come to Maliyali!’

“Now we are full swing into the second phase of Bible teaching: review of the Old Testament lessons in light of Christ's work. Pray this teaching strengthens the new believers and draws hardened hearts to [God]. Please pray for the new believers to continue coming to teaching in order to be strengthened by God's Word. Also pray for continued unity on our team. Satan wants nothing more than to thwart the gospel coming to Maliyali. Pray we are aware of his schemes.” Watch a video.
