Dear Christian Educator

Welcome to the 2015 Accelerated Christian Educators’ PNG Mega Conference and the

Kokopo Educators’ Conference.

As we see the events around the world unfolding and compare them with what the Bible

has to say, we recognize that we are in the last days – very close to the coming of the Lord

Jesus for His saints�

How should we respond to this? To be ever more watchful in serving Him faithfully so that

we will receive that wonderful welcome: “Well done thou good and faithful servant!”

There are exciting things happening in PNG and we look to the Lord with you to be able

to make a real impact on this nation. Especially, we look to the younger generation, those

that the Lord will raise up to become leaders in their appointed time. What a wonderful

blessing to know that we have been able to play even a small part in preparing them for

what lies ahead.

It is important to know, however, that just as Zerubbabel was dependent on God for

the strength and power to complete the second Temple in Jerusalem, so we are totally

dependent on Him to enable us to build the temple of the hearts of these young people.

As the Word of the Lord came to Zerubbabel, so it comes to us today:

“Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit, saith the Lord of hosts.”

Let us join in fellowship and unity together to learn, share our experiences and together

labour to see the young people of this nation well prepared for their destiny!

Don’t forget to register early! There are limited places available and a limited supply of

handouts. Once they are gone, they are GONE!

Yours for young lives in PNG.
