Fourteen people were baptized in Yarakai village, Ambunti District, on November 25th, 2023, after a one week meeting program led by the mission president for Sepik Mission, Pastor Henry Monape. This addition to their previous baptisms marked the highest number in the district, attributed by the district pastor to the divine power of God.
Yarakai village is a community known for its diverse experiences and activities, as well as the hosting venue for the viral Floating Pathfinder Camporee. Despite the challenges, the community has been seeking to make a change and to follow Christ.
The Holy Spirit has been working in the hearts of the people through His servants, who have been preaching the gospel and encouraging them to make decisions for Christ. Pastor Patrick Sapau, the district director for Ambunti, stated, “It is impossible for such a place like this to have the highest baptisms in the district, unless it is the divine power of God.”
Pastor Monape visited Yarakai village as part of his presidential visit to Yarakai Seventh-Day Adventist Church. He was welcomed by the church members and the community leaders, who expressed their gratitude for his support and guidance. He also praised the church for its growth and commitment to the mission of God.
