New Tribes Mission PNG is celebrating 75 years of serving in Papua New Guinea and would like to invite you to pray for the Simbari people group who live in many different hamlets and villages in the mountains of the Eastern Highlands province, living on produce from their gardens and growing coffee as their cash crop.
Religion has been around for over a century, but most of the Simbari people are confused about the Gospel message. Church planters lived among them for many years learning their language and culture, creating an alphabet and literacy programme, and translating God’s Word into their language. In 2022 the complete New Testament and many Old Testament portions were printed and shipped to PNG, and in September of 2023 God’s name was lifted high as the Bible was dedicated to the Lord and presented to the Simbari people.
Please pray for the church as they continue to grow in their love for God, that they would stand strong on His Word. Pray that God would prepare hearts for the Gospel to spread to more and more villages. Pray for the Simbari church and its leaders to be faithful witnesses and ministers of the Word of God.
