Baptisms in PNG

A special report from Matupit Darius, communication director of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Papua New Guinea.

Johana Kuairok could not stop the tears of joy that streamed down her cheeks on the night of October 15 when her father and mother were baptised with 29 other people.

Johana and her parents were strong Roman Catholics until she attended Panim Adventist Primary School, in Madang, Papua New Guinea. The strong Christian influence of the teachers and the other students made her join the baptismal class which led to her baptism last year.

When she returned to her village she could not hide what she discovered in school and helped her parents, Michael and Levina, to join the church. They were baptised at the end of a 10-day reaping campaign at Karkum Beach.

The baptism which was held in the evening was witnessed by over a thousand people.
