Fun with Telefomin Friends
The Christmas Party for my Telefomin Church Fellowship Group. We had such fun and shared lots of food together. I am blessed to have these friends & neighbours!

Peter & Grace make a Difference
Peter & Grace Make a Difference is a movie filmed in Arawa, Bougainville, by kids and youths from 'Voice in the Wilderness.' The film addresses 'Sorcery Accusation Related Violence' (SARV) and follows two kids, Peter & Grace, as they find out more about SARV issues in their village and community.
This movie is in Tok Pisin (Melanesian Pidgin) with English subtitles. It is suitable to watch as a family to learn more about the topic of sorcery and sanguma (witchcraft), its threats, and how to respond. Sorcery Accusation Related Violence is sadly still a significant problem in areas of PNG.
MAF PNG’s partner and our friend Anton Lutz was part of the production, in front of and behind the camera!
Sharing our Struggles
I (Shiv) wanted to share how I was struggling with my feelings of isolation in the midst of the COVID-19 situation and having my life seemingly on hold, and how I am learning to lean on God to cope.
Our friends at Rural Light Ministries (www.rurallight.com) kindly filmed and edited this video of my sharing. If you are struggling with isolation, I really hope this is encouraging to you!
