Patrick and Dawn Eggleton Expanding the Reach of the Gospel in PNG 
Thank you for your continued prayers for the work here in Papua New Guinea. We recently enjoyed a weekend of “conference” with our co-workers – a weekend of teaching and recreation – a little deviation from the daily work to encourage and challenge one another. One of the things we enjoy in our meetings is to get to hear from different tribal works regarding God’s ongoing work among the people. The story of Sagilo below is from the Mengen tribal group. Her story is similar to so many that we hear. We are so thankful to be a part of helping men and women like her.
Sagilo… is a lady that has lived in constant fear of the spirits, not sleeping at night for fear of the spirits entering through the holes in her home or running for fear when one would appear to her in the bush. Well, this past week in coming back from her garden in the afternoon in order to attend the teaching, she had a spirit appear to her. As a result of hearing that God is greater than the spirits, she looked at the spirit and said, “You’re evil and from Satan. I’m going to hear God’s Word.” With hearing God’s name, the spirit disappeared. She went on to say that she is now sleeping at night without fear and that God’s Word is heating her insides as its taking root. Praise the Lord.
This week the Madak tribe heard the end of the gospel message – the message of Jesus’ atonement for us on the cross. The missionaries are very encouraged by the response of the people. They are looking forward to talking to them more one-on-one to see how God has worked in their lives.
A singing group called Point of Grace sang a song called “This Day”. The final verse shares:
So before it’s too late to recapture the time
Let us share love, let us share God
Before this day is gone
We pray you will make the most of “This Day” – it soon will be over. Perhaps we can share love and share God in this day!
