The Gospel on Wings

 Liku and Dugwiru are Bible teachers from Mokndoma who feel a burden to reach other Wano tribes with the Good News. Two missionary families came to live with their tribe years ago, and brought them the Gospel which they now want to share with others. They are going through a teaching series in a very isolated community called Iratoi.Many of the tribes in Papua, including the people living in Iratoi, have animistic beliefs. This means that they perform very dark and demonic practices in order to appease the spirits.


Typically this would be a treacherous two week hike through the jungle for them to reach this tribe, but instead it is a couple hour flight with MAF. On average a one hour flight saves 5 days of ground travel worldwide, but in Papua the time saved is even greater because of the dynamic landscape there.



Here is a video link showing these men reaching out to their neighboring tribe.
Sharing the Gospel video

Jesus says in John 8:12 "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." Our prayer is that these people will come out of the darkness into the marvelous light of the Gospel as the truth is proclaimed in their land.
