One of the highlights of fourth term is hearing the testimonies of the graduating students. One of the recurring themes is the hopelessness many PNG youth feel because there is no place to get work. Many descend into drug and alcohol abuse. Marijuana and homebrew are readily available. A number of guys who were in this category have become Christians, and God has really turned their lives and outlook around.
This week we heard from a guy who was one of the first new students we welcomed to our home when we had just arrived at the college. He was full of thanks to the Lord for the ways the give-and-take of the many in the community has had positive influences in his experience here. Though, it's not top quality, his picture is below.
After the soon-to-be grads speak, we pray that God will use them to affect their country as we send them out for the Lord's service.
