People were convicted of their sin and their hopelessness when Wusuraambya Bible teachers Willis, Jesi, Alek and Josek taught their class of 60 about the Law.
The four are teaching evangelistic Bible lessons in Papua New Guinea.
"All these stories that I have heard; I have done all these things," said Bela. "In one week and one day I commit how many sins? How can we follow these laws? We are not able to."
Muudaatnuwaai, turning his head in shame, said, "Adam and Eve fell or committed only one sin. As for me, I have beat them. I have committed many more sins than one. I do how many sins in one minute or one day? In what way can we be in fellowship with God?"
"I go into a store and I lust after the stuff," Tomaas said. "In one day how many times do I fall into sin and break the law? The pile of sins would be bigger than me standing up."
One lady's words summed up their thoughts, "The law pointed directly at me and I am full of shame. What can I do?"
God is working in the hearts of the Wusuraambyans. Now that they recognize their sinfulness and their complete inability to obey the Law, they are ready to hear about the answer God has for them.
Pray for the Bible teachers as they teach God's Word. Pray that as the people hear the Gospel message, they will trust Christ.
