Revival in Papua
“For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.” Philippians 2:13
We only planned to have two revival nights. But surprisingly, the fire that was lit did not stop there. Pastor Naomi Selan decided to take the suggestion of the visiting revivalist Rev. Joshua Paul seriously. She and her community entered 40 days of praise and worship in Jayapura to keep the fire burning and welcome more souls into the Kingdom of God. The revival praise and worship is still going on on the streets and now inside the tiny church building in the center of a wet market in Jayapura city. It was planned to last until the 5th of November. Pastor Naomi Selan reported that new souls have been added and signs and wonders during the praise and worship services. She was excited to say that the building is no longer large enough for them and they are seeking a bigger place to have worship.
The revival continues, many souls in Jayapura being rescued by the Lord. What once we worked as a program for a night of revival, God is now working through many people’s lives. When man tries to find a solution he makes programs, but when God wants to give a solution, He sends people. We work in programs, but God works in and through people.
As the apostle James wrote: “See how great a forest a little fire kindles!” (James 3:5 NKJV). We are praying also that these tongues of fires will set Papua and Indonesia and even the whole world on fire!
