Vision Winter 2018 | Page 11

Pauline shares, “What a privilege it has been to work with such a committed and focused team, striving to make God’s Word available to the Kyaka Enga speakers of the Western Highlands. As one member of the team shared when reading God’s Word in their language, ‘… it speaks more clearly.’ ” The team have commented on how relevant the teaching is today for the Enga church facing similar issues to the early church. God’s Word is definitely relevant for 2018. Interest in the project is growing and as soon as the publication is ready for print and distribution people are expressing their desire to purchase a copy of the Bible, one that they can fully understand! To hear the Word of God and to read the Word of God in your heart language is a different experience of the Truth. Together let’s give thanks to God. We have seen God’s spirit move in PNG, we have witnessed the development of faith communities, we have journeyed with and mentored local faith leaders and we as Australian Baptists have contributed to the Word of God being available in the heart language of the people. This is Global Interaction’s vision for all communities in which we work! It takes time, but it does and is happening. Amen. Top left: Men in Papua New Guinea. Photo taken by Geoff Cramb.
