Mibu Missionaries Reaching Out to Other Language Groups
Geoff and Shannon Husa minister among the Mibu people of Papua New Guinea. The Mibu church has taken the gospel into surrounding areas, even to people who speak other languages! They have been teaching in Melanesian Pidgin, the national trade language, and found that literacy in the trade language is very poor in some of these areas. “[This] makes it difficult not only for people to read Scripture and teaching materials for themselves, but also for the church to train new teachers who can carry the work forward.” Pray for the preparations and funds for a possible training opportunity in the spring of 2027 for some of the Mibu teachers. This would equip them to teach literacy in the trade language so those being reached can read God’s Word and teach it to others.
