Believing Neighbours for the Dinangat?
Summer Zimmer, communications manager for New Tribes Mission Papua New Guinea (NTM-PNG), asks for prayer for the Dinangat people and their neighbours the Uruwa people. “The Dinangat people, isolated in the ... mountains of Papua New Guinea, can feel like they’re the only believers in existence because of the distance between them and other PNG churches. It is important for newly planted churches to connect with other churches in their general area. ... This enables them not only to learn and grow as believers in relationship with others but [to] increase their confidence that they are not the only small group of people in the world who believe in the truth of the gospel.”
Last year the Brendle, Thek and Weaver families committed to being the missionaries to the Uruwa people group. “Currently, the team is working on shuttling in all the materials needed to build their future homes. Pray for safety and for the relationships they will build during this process. While Uruwa is still a two-day hike from Dinangat, pray that there will eventually be a thriving church there and that as believers they can build one another up.”
