God Has Power in Papua New Guinea | 307 | Report 21

Believers from the Uriay tribe are studying the book of Acts and those who come faithfully are growing spiritually. In a recent lesson local leader Elias taught about the angel waking Peter in prison and leading him past the prison guards and out into freedom.

“Why did God help Peter escape but allowed Stephen to be stoned and James to be beheaded?” Elias asked. And after some thought on it Elias explained that Peter’s work wasn’t finished yet. God had more work to do through Peter so he helped him escape a certain death sentence.
“It was pretty cool to watch them grasping this – and the relief it brought to them,” wrote Lisa Kappeler. “They live in fear of sorcery and evil spirits… You could almost see the weight lift off their shoulders.”

Later, Lisa was speaking with a group of women and asked them if they should fear Trowi, the local witchdoctor. Could he kill them? Imi was very quick to say that if her work is not finished here no one can kill her. “God is the only one with power. Trowi is nothing. He’s just a man and has no power. We should only lift up God’s name. He is the all-powerful One. God is above everything. He has all the power. We should only be worshipping Him.” This is a huge advance among the Uriay people. “I continue to marvel at what God is doing in this little skinny lady’s heart,” Lisa wrote.
