Imagine being in an environment where everything around you is not just strange, but totally, totally foreign. This image is from 1999, shortly after we joined Doulos in Papua New Guinea. The culture there was so different, but in God’s way, that was an excellent exposure to international mission. God loves the remote tribal communities of New Guinea just as much as He does anyone else. The values, daily life and customs of the people are so different, but they are created in His image too. The famous Bible verse begins ‘For God so loved the whole world…’ - in Papua New Guinea we were exposed to how diverse His creation is. We also saw the Church’s need for teaching resources and local pastors’ delight to find them on Doulos. After such an inspiring start to serving with OM Ships, and receiving so much love from the local people, it’s no wonder that many who joined Doulos back in 1999 are still in mission work today.
