What We Do

The island country of Papua New Guinea yields a myriad of sights and experiences. Hundreds of different language groups exist in this remote corner of the world, and many of these have not yet been reached with the Gospel. Overland travel is often difficult, and at times, impossible. Isolated by distance and geography, some tribes may only be reached by trekking through dense jungle or by air. Tribes are asking for someone to come and teach them God’s Word. Daily, souls enter eternity without ever hearing that Christ died for them.

One such tribe, that has come as close as possible to the gospel witness without being evangelized, are the Akoye people. They are located in the Gulf Province about 6 hours hike south of the Kamean people, who are being greatly evangelized by Missionary Matt Allen and His team. There is already work being done with the language, but no one there to preach the gospel. As Romans 10:14 says, “…how shall they hear without a preacher?”
