In March, Jill  saw God miraculously bring together the components of a denture-making training programme combining “mPower” dentists from America and a business in Auckland called Oral Art who donated all the equipment needed in a denture clinic. Some further equipment arrived in September.

        After the training, one successful graduate, Cyril, seen in the photo with his wife Naomi and daughter, was chosen to start a clinic at the Christian Leaders’ Training College in the Highlands.

       “This dental clinic continues to be an incredible encouragement to those in the surrounding 20,000 plus community,” Jill reports. “We offer tooth extraction for the cost of a pineapple and partial dentures for approximately $20 per tooth, making it affordable to most people here. Cyril continues to do a fantastic job at the clinic, but he will be going home to his village over the Christmas break. We are praying that the whole family would be able to come back end of January 2025.

       “Please pray that Naomi would be successful with her application to the PNG education department to transfer to CLTC. She’s a trained primary school teacher and currently teaches in her village. We believe that the Lord would want this family to live together and so we ask for prayer for this to happen.
“This story really encouraged me to not give up hope:
“Cyril has tried on multiple occasions to set up meetings with the education department near CLTC to organise a transfer for his wife to CLTC, so far without any success. However, God recently brought a gentleman to the CLTC dental clinic, requesting some new dentures! Cyril recognised him as an education official, and was able to talk to him about the need for Naomi’s transfer. He explained that if his wife did not receive the transfer then he would need to stay in the village with his wife and the clinic would not be open next year. The gentleman was visibly upset that this was a possibility and said that he would do everything in his power to bring about Naomi’s transfer.
“The transfer lists come out at the end of November, beginning of December. Please pray,” Jill urges.
