“If you forgive others the wrong they have done to you, your father in Heaven will also forgive you............................"



Former Pastors & early church workers

   With the new appointment of the Western Highlands Baptist Union Administrator, Mary Napili, spiritual work has already begun.

Ps. Traimya Kambapi leading the group in prayer

On August 30^th Mary with the assistance from BUPNG Ministry Director Ps. Gabriel Kenny organised a meeting for all former church workers especially pastors from around Baiyer and Lumusa to come together for a time of Prayer and Confession to free themselves so that God would use them powerfully in preaching the word of God. During this meeting pastors confessed their sins, their grudges and hurt against each other and they forgave each other. A similar program was held again on September 5^th with all the HBU Association supervisors and ministry leaders.

Rev.Mapusia Kolo shared the word of God that, Forgiveness is the key to Freedom. The word of God states in Matt 6:14 -14, “If you forgive others the wrong they have done to you, your father in Heaven will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others, then your father will not forgive the wrongs you have done.” If we profess to be followers of Christ, we ought to imitate him and in doing so, we receive the victory that comes with it so that God will empower us to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ and to destroy the work of the devil just like Christ did.

Rev. Mapusia leading the communion service

All the pastors and ministry leaders partook in the holy communion and joined hands in unity and prayed for God to bless WHBU so that the Spirit of God will revive the churches in this land (WHBU).

 

 The 3^rd meeting is scheduled for October 3^rd.

 Please stand with Western Highlands Baptist Union in prayer.
