Trip to Western Province, Papua New Guinea with YWAM Medical Ships Australia

What a month it has been, I hope you all are doing well.

So in February 2019, I had the opportunity to join the YWAM Medical Ships Australia to tour some of the remote villages in Western Province, PNG. YWAM is doing a great job in PNG providing health education and medical services in some of the remotest parts of Papua New Guinea. I was fortunate enough to be part of this amazing organisation and amazing group of people.

We left for Western Province on the 2nd of February with 13 different races all in one ship, with one common purpose, “to care, to serve, to connect and to build.” The ride was almost 36 hours and we finally arrived in Bamu River, in the Middle Fly District of Western Province.

I was finally put in a team under the Optometry team with six (6) amazing people. We had so much fun visiting villages and being able to connect ands serve the people was something extraordinary.

During the two week clinics in almost 20 villages YWAM Volunteers visited, lives were touched, sicknesses were healed, and people with vision problems could finally see. It was a fulfilling moment for me when I saw the smiles they gave when they could finally see clearly. The smiles they give was just priceless, because not only they couldn’t see, some of them have never visited a government hospital in their lifetime, as the main hospital is too far and can only travel via a boat, which is sometimes very risky. With YWAM Medical Ships visiting the villages, it gave them hope, that some people, someone, from somewhere, still care about them.

My two weeks spent on board the ship and in the waters of Western Province, I met so many amazing people from all over the world, (Australia, USA, Switzerland, Canada, etc) and our own Papua New Guineans with beautiful hearts, who have volunteered to be part of this amazing team.

One of the things that really touched my heart and has been a life lesson for me was connecting with the beautiful people of Western Province,especially along Bamu  River. Life there seems to be tough, with no clean drinking water, no medical services and no government services. Despite all that, when we first entered their village, the ‘SMILES” they gave us was just priceless. I have never seen such beautiful smiles. They were happy and contented, despite all the challenges they face daily, they still can give you that beautiful smile. They were thankful, they were happy. They were contented.

I then wondered, why are we sad and unhappy sometimes, when we don’t have the things we want, and complain about it. Why complain, when you have food on the table, good water to drink,fresh air to breath, and beautiful friends and families who loves you. Why worry about tomorrow? Why think about the past? Why not live in the present, be happy and be content, have fun and thank God for the good life you have. The lesson I learnt was priceless.

“You don’t need everything to be happy. Forget about the past, Don’t think too much about the future, Live your live now, the present. You cannot change the past, you cannot control the future. Let Go, and Let God take control”

After that experience, I am now looking at life from a totally different angle. I have really changed, and started to appreciate life. I have decided to worry less, be content, and be thankful for what God has already put to my trust.

I also want to encourage young people especially from Papua New Guinea to be part of this amazing team, and apply to become a volunteer when on your school holiday, or take leave from work and be part of this team. I guarantee you, you will never regret this decision.

I thank God for your time spent to read this post, and hope that you have learnt something from this post, and hope that you will apply to be on the next YWAM Outreach in PNG.

Thank you and may our good Lord continue to give strength and courage to these volunteers serving onboard the MV YWAM PNG.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<God Bless>>>>>>>>>>>>>

  1. Hey, how’s it going?

    I want to pass along some very important news that everyone needs to hear!

    In December of 2017, Donald Trump made history by recognizing Jerusalem as the captial of Israel. Why is this big news? Because by this the Jewish people of Israel are now able to press forward in bringing about the Third Temple prophesied in the Bible.

    Jewish Rabbis have publicly announced that their Messiah will be revealed in the coming years who will be a leader and spiritual guide to all nations, gathering all religions under the worship of one God. They deny Jesus as their Messiah, and the Bible tells us this Jewish Messiah will be the counterfiet that will bring about a false peace, and ultimatley the great tribulation.

    They even printed a coin to raise money for the Temple with Donald Trumps face on the front and with king Cyrus'(who built the second Temple) behind him. On the back of the coin is an image of the third Temple.

    More importantly, the power that runs the world wants to put a RFID microchip in our body making us total slaves to them. This chip matches perfectly with the Mark of the Beast in the Bible, more specifically in Revelation 13:16-18:

    “He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

    Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.”

    Referring to the last days, this could only be speaking of a cashless society, which we have yet to see, but are heading towards. Otherwise, we could still buy or sell without the mark amongst others if physical money was still currency. This Mark couldn’t be spiritual because the word references two different physical locations. If it was spiritual it would just say in the forehead. RFID microchip implant technology will be the future of a one world cashless society containing digital currency. It will be implanted in the right-hand or the forehead, and we cannot buy or sell without it! We must grow strong in Jesus. AT ALL COSTS, DO NOT TAKE IT!

    “Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand, he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation. He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name” (Revelation 14:9-11).

    People have been saying the end is coming for many years, but we needed two key things. One, the Third Temple, and two, the technology for a cashless society to fulfill the prophecy of the Mark of the Beast.

    If you haven’t already, it is time to seek God with all your heart. Jesus loves you more than you could imagine. He wants to have a relationship with you and redeem you from your sins. Turn to Him and repent while there is still hope! God bless!
