Wayne & Gail Chen Bringing the Gospel to the Biem people in Papua New Guinea This past weekend, our family visited Xiamen and meet up with Bob and Bee, dear friends from our SF church. We are the first in our whole family to set foot on China. It was quite neat also to visit Gulang Island, which I only studied from the textbooks until now.
If you have heard our sharing on mission, you have probably watched the Yembi Yembi film. Recently 13 more Yembi Yembi men and women were baptized. However, as the number of Christians grew, the oppositions grew also. The believers stayed calm while their fellow tribesmen taunted them and conspired to hurt them. Please pray for these new brothers and sisters that they would stand firm in the Lord and for wisdom for the missionaries to minister to the rest of the Yembi people.
Here are some of their testimonies….
Kelly Taman- “I wash now to mark before your eyes whose side I stand on, but God sees my deep inside, he knows I am His kid and no one can loosen his fingers from me”.
Zacchues- “I am standing on Acts 19 (the first part of the chapter where Paul baptizes some men a 2nd time). In mans eyes I have washed once before but I was a baby and I knew nothing of this talk. Now I wash for the first time in Gods eyes and he knows that my thinking on the bridge-man is clear”
Edward- “Keep your ears open good to what I am going to say. I am not joining New Tribes Mission, I am not going under some name. I am standing on the talk of Jesus alone and for that reason I wash to mark my outside because of my inside thinking”
