“I come from Manus Province in Papua New Guinea. I am 50 years old and married with three children. I have been serving in the church for more than eighteen years as a pastor and Bible school teacher before coming to CLTC to further my theological training.
“Furthermore, I only completed grade ten of education in 1992, then in 2005 I graduated with a Diploma of Theology from our local Bible School. In 2019 I graduated with a Bachelor of Theology from Christian Leaders Training College, Papua New Guinea. Last year in 2024, I did my Master of Theology programme, and I am expected to complete my education at the end of 2025.
“I received Christ as my Lord and Saviour in a Scripture Union programme, while I was a student in high school. My wife gave her life to Jesus in a youth convention held in our church. We have been in full time ministry and passionate to serve together with God in his great commission (Matthew 28:19- 20).
“We worship with the Evangelical Church of Manus (ECOM), Manus Province, Papua New Guinea.
“The courses I am studying in the Master of Theology programme are helpful, enriching and relevant to my ministry context. The courses are both academic and transformational, which deepen my faith and upskill me for effective ministry. My wife is undergoing a Certificate in Bible and Ministry, and her ministry focuses on children, youth and women. After graduation, we will go back to our home church and teach at the Bible school and serve in the children, youth and womens ministry, as we have always been involved in these ministries.
“I am grateful and appreciate your fervent prayers as well as your financial support like many CLTC students who have benefited from your kind assistance over the years.
‘Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends’ (John 15:13).
“Indeed, you are a channel of blessing. Thank you and may God’s grace and peace be yours in abundance.”
