Mr. Jack Douglas gave a report of the work in Papua New Guinea in the afternoon and the preached the Gospel in the evening.
Having lived in the Paiawian tribe for many years Jack and Isa now go back to build up and encourage the many believers there who are now spreading the Gospel to others. Jack has translated much of the Scriptures for them after first establishing a written language. they are a semi nomadic tribe of hunter gatherers, but now there are things happening in the area to cause problems for them like drilling for oil and gas and mining for gold. Jack told us of rare places where there was a mobile signal and the young men would be there with a bow and arrow in one hand and a mobile phone in the other. Although some of the young men are being drawn away by the lure of wealth the Gospel is still spreading and the believers are growing in their faith and there is a great thirst for the word of God.
Jack read Colossians 1 vs.15-23
Jesus has dealt with all of our sins.
He is the image of the invisible God
Man was created in God's image, but now we are being changed into His image.
When we see Him we shall be like Him.
If we want to know God we must get to know His Son who is the radiance of His glory.
No one has seen God His Son has made Him known.
For me to live is Christ, it's all about Jesus His preeminence, we have been bought with a price - He shed His blood and died for us so that we might be forgiven and have peace with God through repentance and faith.
