A Pentacost Experience in Papua New Guinea

PAPUA NEW GUINEA – The Holy Spirit is real! The Bible reminds us in Acts 2:17, “‘In the last days,’ God says, ‘I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.’” This became a manifested reality in Papua New Guinea (PNG), where more than 500,000 souls were baptized into the Seventh-day Adventist Church during the evangelistic campaign with Adventist World Radio (AWR) that ran from April 24 to May 12, 2024. 

Rolando Baysa and Robert Norwood, pastors in the Southwest Region Conference, were selected by AWR to be a part of this spiritual awakening in Papua New Guinea, at an event called PNG for Christ.

Participating in PNG for Christ was a life-transforming and once-in-a-lifetime experience. There were 2,000 sites where the North American Division team of lay evangelists, pastors and lay members worked together to advance the Kingdom of God.

Baysa recounted that on May 1, at an appeal he gave in the Asaro district, 400 souls took their stand.

Norwood was assigned to Gahuku High School Goroka district. Each Sabbath, no less than 1,900 people were in attendance. During the first appeal, 250 people came down, and at the second appeal, 300 people took their stand and gave their lives to Christ.

The Holy Spirit is moving in a supernatural way in this season!
