A met a PNG man today named Ninipeo. This man has come before but I haven't met him until now. He has come from his language area, which has had a Bible in their language for a while, and the ex-pat translators that worked there have long since put the responsibility of its use into the hands of the local church and moved back to their home country.
Ninipeo came with money he collected to buy audio Bibles. The man is dedicated and passionate.
Here is but ONE of his stories in his words:
---------------------
There was a witch doctor who used to kill people. Everyone, including the police accused him of doing sorcery but he always denied it. I (Ninipeo) bought one of the audio players for him to listen to. I didn’t know if he would listen to it or not, but he listened to it all the time. When we built a new church building the witch doctor came to the dedication and confessed his sorcery. He brought all his witchcraft paraphernalia to give them up. He asked the pastor what he should do because he was afraid the spirits would attack him since he turned away from them. The pastor said the witch doctor should write down all the things he used to do then they would give it to God and God would protect him from the spirits. Now he lives with us in our house.
