Geoff and Shannon Husa were recently able to arrange a flight for two individuals to fly into Mibu, Papua New Guinea, including an IT specialist who is hoping to resolve some technical issues. There are many logistics involved so they would appreciate your prayers:
The airstrip has not been mowed for some time (the lawnmower is currently not working), so it is being cut by hand – meaning a great deal of labour.
The lawnmower not working has been a big deal as well, so, that’s another thing that they are hoping that some time can be allocated to fixing it.
Pray for:
The pilot and aircraft safety.
The IT specialist – that he would be able to resolve the problem.
Favourable weather.
In addition to the technical situation, the limited communication that Geoff and Shannon have been receiving indicates discouragement is beginning to set in among some of the Mibu church and leaders. Fewer men are attending church meetings. Some leaders are feeling pressure and criticism from within the community.
This is certainly a trying season. At the same time, the Lord can use even this for the church’s long-term strengthening and maturity. May the church in Mibu feel the Lord’s continued presence, and know that He will never abandon them, but only continue to form them and draw them closer to their future hope in Him.
Pray for:
Renewed courage and conviction among the believers.
Unity and perseverance among the leaders.
Protection from the enemy’s attempts to exploit discouragement.
A growing sense of their identity in Christ no matter the circumstances.
Geoff had hoped to travel to Mibu this spring, but the necessary pieces simply are not in place. He is now prioritising a trip sometime this summer. Pray for the finances and logistics for this trip to come together, and that it would be deeply encouraging and fruitful for the church.
Thank you for continuing to stand with Geoff and Shannon through your prayers. They are deeply grateful for the many who have helped carry this ministry forward during such a pivotal season. As they look ahead – with important travel, technical needs, and ongoing translation and lesson development work – pray for the Lord to provide for their needs.
