2019 April update

Greetings from Lae in PNG (Papua New Guinea), a Melanesian country of about 8 million people. With approximately 830 languages (20% of the world’s total), it is the most ethno-linguistically diverse nation in the world. Last Sunday, at the Lutheran Church, c. 400 were present at their monthly missions service. After an appeal for cross-cultural workers, a number came forward (see below). The church leadership has promised to follow them up. In Batanes, Malou’s birth island, Gareth will speak at OM Philippines’ annual conference and outreach. The island, accessible only by plane, is located in the far north and is known for its natural beauty and typhoons. A neighbouring island, Sabtang, accessible only by boat, has no evangelical church and only a few believers. A small team has a desire to see the gospel being preached there and will visit to pray and seek God’s will. Our 7 week ministry tour includes PNG, Philippines, UAE and India and comprises 12 flights. Your prayers are much appreciated.

From the ends of the earth,

Gareth <>< Malou Bolton
