Today's World Day of Prayer service was focussed on Papua New Guinea.My wife did a sterling job in arranging and leading the prayer liturgy through, with assistance from a few reader volunteers.
The highlight though was our guest speaker.
Brigadier Gwen Pedersen, a exemplary missionary officer, spoke firsthand of her ministry and service in Papua New Guinea over many years, where she lived and served in retirement with her husband, Brigadier Vic.
Brigadier Gwen took us on a most interesting and engaging journey of the places she visited and the people she loved, delighting us with humourous stories and cause for Christian concern.
This year's chosen theme, In Christ We Are Many Yet One Body, was well highlighted through this personal and prayerful reflection time.
Romans 12:5-6a (NIV) ~ "...in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. We have different gifts, according to the grace given us."
