"The king shall have joy in Your strength, O Lord; and in your salvation how greatly shall he rejoice! You have given him his heart's desire, and have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah."
One by one, Dinangat men and women are praising God and thanking Him for His work on their behalf.
“Before the teaching there was nothing but confusion, unrest, and doubt,” wrote Ralf and Eli Schlegel. “But now people drop their heads in amazement as they realize what God did for them, and they just keep saying, ‘Kulom, kulom sinik,’ which means, ‘Thank you, thank you so much.’”
Missionaries are continuing to meet one-on-one with the people who attended evangelistic Bible lessons, and here are some of the things they are hearing:
“Before I was in Satan’s family, but now we know that Jesus died for our sins. I know I can't do anything to be put in Gods family, only by belief in what Jesus did, only He can save us.” -- Peso
“Jesus took my place and died for my sin.” -- Maangit
“What Jesus did is true, He died for my sin. He shed his blood for me.” – Mesari
"Before you all came to us we were living in sin and were going to die and go to hell. But now we understand that God sent Jesus to die for our sin so that we can be saved. That's what I think is true. God is true." -- Takido
"I believe in God and Jesus, but I didn't understand how to wash my sin away, but now I see that Jesus washed it away by dying on the cross for my sin. I am not able to do it, but because of what He did I can go to God when I die. I'm just so happy about this." -- Kombu
“Today I don't worry anymore, I know that it's because of what Jesus did for me that I'll go to God.” -- Felix
“My head is just breaking open as I think about what Jesus did for me. Thank you God!” -- Bau
Thank you for praying! And please keep praying. In many ways, the work among the Dinangat people of Papua New Guinea is just beginning. Now comes discipling the new believers, training leaders, translating more of the Bible, and a lot of other things, as missionaries endeavor to establish a mature church.
