A few thoughts that our Lord shared with us from John chapter 12—thoughts for us as individuals and for us as an organization, GCS. We want to see the call of God fulfilled in our lives, and we also want to see the vision of Go Christian Services fulfilled. So we’ll listen to what our Lord Yeshua the Messiah has said.
In John 12:35, He says, “While you have the light, walk in the light.” While you have the light, walk in the light. As God’s people, we are to walk in the light so that we can become sons of the light. This is what God blesses—when His people are in the light. But Jesus also adds a second part to this warning: “Walk in the light, lest darkness overtake you.”
STICKS AND STONES
In the heart of Korovake village, nestled within the vast Purari delta of Gulf Province, young Calvert Aua could often be found playing with his friends. Their favourite pastime is a game called Gemo, a fast-paced activity that combines agility and strategy. One sunny afternoon, Calvert, energetic and spirited, was engrossed in a particularly intense game.
Specialist eye surgery
Bringing basic health services to these widely scattered people is very challenging. Bringing Specialist services to the people is even more challenging. There are no regular specialist services currently available in the Province and people have to travel to the capital Port Moresby for treatment.
Like every tropical country, eye disease and blindness from Cataracts are common amongst the elderly population.
On December 1 2023, a Specialist Eye Surgery Team left Port Moresby and travelled by small plane and dinghy to Kapuna Hospital. Kapuna is a small Rural hospital set in the middle of the Gulf Delta. It is small and isolated and serves very scattered population.
A story of two brothers
This is the story of two brothers, the firstborn was called red/hairy, who would call his son red and hairy? The other, well his name meant something like Tricky. Both are not great names, but for sure the second got the worst deal.
Eyes to see
My name is Kailin Nou’wauó
I come from Haia on the border of Chimbu and Gulf provinces.
For a long time, I suffered with pain in my eyes and with headaches. One day I was carrying a load of sago and bamboo and fell from the steps of our bush house. I was suffering so my brother took me to Wabo, while staying at Wabo the pain in my eyes and my suffering became worse.
Crocodile Attacks in Gulf
Over the last few months, there have been four crocodile attacks in the Baimuru District, three of which were fatal but not Mr Ishmael Kaipa who escaped with his life.
Laptops for Kapuna Life School
Kapuna Life School, which serves the educational needs of some of the children from Ara’ava and Kairimai, our neighbouring villages, and Kapuna itself, recently received a significant boost in our efforts to integrate technology into our teaching. This step came about when Litehaus International, in partnership with Total Energies PNG, learned about our school’s situation and generously donated six HP computers.
PNGNAU
Being out here in the swamps of the Gulf province is great, especially when there is chaos in the cities, we [Hobbits] love peace and quiet and good tilled earth.. Someone recently said it feels like you guys are still living in the ’50s” which I will take as a compliment, and with so much wonderful new technology, like solar power, nice showers, lawnmowers, and somewhat reliable internet, this is the best of both worlds. But we can’t live in a bubble. As Christians, we are called to be salt, and if we lose our saltiness we are to be thrown out. So what is it to be Salt in PNG today?
