A TWO-WEEK evangelistic meeting held at Japaraka No. 2 village in Kubalia district has concluded on a note of spiritual renewal, with one young man publicly surrendering his life to God through baptism on Sabbath, March 7, 2026, and five others making their stand for the next baptismal class.
The meetings, conducted across Lessons 9 and 10 at the company church in Japaraka No. 2, carried the theme “Greatest Display of God’s Love” — a message centred on the redemptive love of God that led Christ to the cross. The theme struck a chord among villagers who gathered each evening throughout the fortnight, and its fruit was evident in the decisions made by Sabbath’s close.
A LIFE SURRENDERED
On Sabbath morning, the village community witnessed a young man enter the watery grave in an act of faith and public commitment to God. His baptism served as the living testimony of what two weeks of gospel-centred preaching can produce when hearts are open and God moves among His people. Five additional candidates, stirred by the same message, raised their hands to signal readiness for the next baptism.
WOMEN’S DAY OF PRAYER AT JAPARAKA NO. 1
While evangelistic fires burned at Japaraka No. 2, the Women Ministry at neighbouring Japaraka No. 1 — an organised church — gathered on the same Sabbath to observe the International Women’s Day of Prayer on March 7, 2026. Women from the congregation came together in a spirit of unity and intercession, honouring a day that calls women across the Adventist world to lift their voices collectively before God.
DISTRICT DIRECTOR SETS SIGHTS ON THE UNREACHED
In an interview on the sidelines of the weekend’s activities, Kubalia District Director Pastor James Amos shared a vision that extends well beyond the villages already within reach of the church’s ministry. Pastor Amos confirmed that in 2026, Kubalia district has set its strategic focus on penetrating the unreached communities that stretch toward the Sepik Plains — areas where the gospel message has yet to take root.
The weekend’s events — a baptism, five new commitments, a women’s prayer gathering, and a district-wide outreach vision — collectively paint a picture of a church community in Kubalia that is moving forward with both spiritual depth and evangelistic purpose. For the district, the greatest display of God’s love is not merely a sermon theme. It is becoming a lived reality.
