Life in PNG for Me

So life here is taking some getting used to... It's so different. The culture, the people, the climate, just everything... But in the midst of that I see more and more of Who God is and that He is the same no matter where I go. He's the God Who walks with me wherever I go and Who's been with me the whole way. What an incredible and faithful God we serve!
I've gotten to be involved in tons of ministries here at Living Light Foursquare and my first week was insanely busy because I was trying almost all of them so that I could choose the ones I really wanted to pursue and be involved in during my stay here. There are so many that it would be very difficult to explain them all so I'll write about one for right now...
So, in order to go to go to school here, you have to pay big bucks to do so. On Thursday I went to visit two schools. They go once a week to teach this class called RI(which stands for Religious Instruction). I went with man name Terrance who travels to sixteen different schools a week to go preach the gospel to these kids in high school. He doesn't have a car so we took PMVs... Which are Papua New Guinea buses. They are absolutely insane!!! They're the ghettoest, smelliest little vans and they stuff so many people in them that you can barely breathe... But it was such an adventure. They're all privately owned so the drivers are crazy and it's just scary sometimes... Hanging out with Terrance was awesome. He has a real passion for the youth and bringing them to the Lord. When I spoke to the youth I gave my testimony and told them how I came to know God and the amazing works that He's done in me that're undeniable. I really stressed to them to not wait til they thought they were ready or perfect to start serving the Lord. And I told them that we're all called and that He has a unique plan for each and every one of us. I know that the Lord had brought me all the way to this side of the world just to tell them that. I really wanted to challenge them to respond to the call God had on there lives. In both schools altogether about twelve or so kids gave there lives to the Lord and tons of them had a response and wanted to talk to me afterward. God did such an amazing work through me and I was just so blessed by it. I'm so excited to walk further into the purpose and plan that the Lord has brought me here to be apart of and I know that every word He speaks is true and that it always fulfills the purpose for which He spoke them.
I'm sorry it's taking so long to get these up, but I'll do my best to continue updating. When you read this please POST A COMMENT! Because I wanna hear what you have to say and whatnot. I love you all and I'm gonna try to get some more pics up soon.

May God Bless You and Keep You,
Robby
